Times Have Chanced

Antes de eu ter 5 anosBefore I was 5
Foi-me dito que as senhoras se sentam de joelhos juntosI was told that ladies sit with their knees together
Que eu não deveria brincar com meu irmãoThat I should'nt play rough with my brother
Que as meninas jogaram casa e fingiram ser uma mãe ou uma esposaThat girls played house and pretended to be a mum or a wife

Antes de eu ter 10 anosBefore I was 10
Foi-me dito para ajudar a desejar pratosI was told to help wish to dishes
Que eu tinha que fazer coisas contra meus desejosThat I had to do things against my wishes
Que isso era menos esperado de um homemThat this was less expected of a man

Antes de eu ter 20 anosBefore I was 20
Foi-me dito que eu era gordoI was told I was fat
Que lindas senhoras não se vestem assimThat nice ladies don't dress like that
Que uma salada para o almoço estava abundanteThat a salad for lunch was plenty
Blá blá bláBlah blah blah

Antes de eu ter 30 anosBefore I was 30
Foi-me dito que eu tinha uma data de validadeI was told I had an expiration date
Que eu tinha que encontrar um bom amigoThat I had to find a good mate
Que era hora de me casarThat it was about time I marry

Antes de eu ter 40 anosBefore I was 40
Foi-me dito que tinha que ser a melhor mãeI was told I had to be the best mother
Faça bem no meu trabalho e se concentre na minha filhaDo well at my job and focus on my daughter
Que eu ainda deveria parecer que eu tenho 30 anosThat I'm should still look like I'm 30

Agora que eu tenho 40 anosNow that I'm 40
Com uma filha crescendo tão rapidamenteWith a daughter growing up so quickly
Quem é macio e feminino e também resistente e arenosoWho is soft and feminine and also tough and gritty
Eu a criarei para fazer suas próprias regras e serI'll raise her to make her own rules and be
Quem quiser serWhoever she wants to be
