Nostalgia and Changing Beauty Standards in 'Gosto das peludas'

Graciano Saga's song 'Gosto das peludas' is a nostalgic lament for the changing beauty standards regarding female body hair. The lyrics express the singer's preference for women with natural body hair, contrasting it with the modern trend of hair removal. The song is filled with a sense of loss and confusion as the singer grapples with the shift in what is considered attractive and desirable.

The song opens with the singer expressing his bewilderment and lack of enjoyment in the current beauty trends. He reminisces about a time when women did not shave, and he finds himself uncomfortable with the new norm of hairless bodies. This sentiment is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing his longing for the past and his dissatisfaction with the present. The repeated chorus, 'As mulheres de agora são um pesadelo, na coisa que eu gosto já não têm cabelo,' underscores his discontent with modern beauty practices.

Graciano Saga uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey his feelings. He compares the natural body hair to a 'ninho de pardais' (sparrow's nest) and a 'rama do roseiral' (rose bush branches), evoking a sense of natural beauty and simplicity. The song also touches on the broader cultural shift, noting that this trend is widespread, affecting women from the south to the north of Portugal and even the islands. This highlights the pervasive nature of the change and the singer's struggle to accept it.

The song can be seen as a commentary on the pressures women face to conform to changing beauty standards and the impact these changes have on personal preferences and relationships. It reflects a broader societal conversation about body autonomy, natural beauty, and the influence of fashion and media on personal choices.
