mulherão da porra — a damn strong woman / a hell of a woman

Mulherão da porra is a strong, colloquial Brazilian Portuguese expression. "Mulherão" is an augmentative of "mulher" (woman), meaning a striking, larger than life woman, and adding "da porra" intensifies it into something like "a hell of a woman" or "a damn strong woman". It is interesting because the vulgar intensifier turns a simple compliment into a defiant declaration of self worth.

In the song, Marília Tavares sings "Eu fui um mulherão da porra pra um cabra safado" ("I was a badass woman for a lowlife jerk"), using the phrase to contrast her own greatness with the man who did not deserve her.

“Existe Homem Existe Macho” is an explosive break-up anthem where Marília Tavares flips the script on a cheating partner. Over a lively Brazilian beat, she lists everything she’s done — keeping the house tidy, washing the clothes — while he’s out partying and betraying her trust. Instead of suffering in silence, she calls him out with sharp humor, branding him a cabra safado (good-for-nothing guy) and making it clear she refuses to play the fool.

The chorus drives home her message of self-respect: there are real men (homens) and there are insecure “machos,” and her ex ranks far below both. By repeating the line “Eu fui um mulherão da porra,” she turns her frustration into a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever been undervalued. The result is a catchy empowerment track that celebrates drawing boundaries, speaking up, and recognizing your own worth.
