Amália Rodrigues Amália Rodrigues

Is It or Isn't It

Is it or isn't it
That work dignifies
That's how it explains to us
The saying that never fails?
Is it or isn't it
That from this, all the truth
That only out of dignity
In the world, no one works!

Is it or isn't it
That the people say it's not
That the nose isn't a feature
Whether big or delicate?
In the middle of the face
It must be seen by force
Even by those who don't belong
Where they're not called!

Tell me if it is or isn't so?
Oh, no, it's not!
Tell me if it is or isn't so?
Oh, no, it's not! That's right!

Is it or isn't it
That an old man who goes out on the street
Thinks, upon seeing the miniskirt
This world is lost?!
But if he were to return
To being a young lad now
Would he find that the skirt
Is very long indeed?

Is it or isn't it
Kind the humanity
Everyone knows that kindness
Is what earns heaven?
But the naked truth
Without flattery
That I had to learn
Is that woe is me if it's not me!
