lyrics
The time when the man was in charge of the woman has passed
Today the world is changing in favor of women
The independence of women is today
Ho lobo, today
Ho lobo ,today
Gone are the days when a woman relied solely on her husband
Today, man and woman, are in the race for the evolution of society
Gone are the days when the man only chose a woman for her cooking skills
Women have a big place in the world
Chorus:
The woman brings up her children and works with a smile and beauty
Today, women also make political decisions
Today, it has been proven that women can become president
The woman is part of the world
Ho lobo, today
Today the world is changing in favor of women
The independence of women is today
Ho lobo, today
Ho lobo ,today
Gone are the days when a woman relied solely on her husband
Today, man and woman, are in the race for the evolution of society
Gone are the days when the man only chose a woman for her cooking skills
Women have a big place in the world
Chorus:
The woman brings up her children and works with a smile and beauty
Today, women also make political decisions
Today, it has been proven that women can become president
The woman is part of the world
Ho lobo, today
