Dia de Folga

Morning in my alley, sun through the window
The handsome gentleman gives a break to the drill

The rooster rests, the child laughs
Today there are no tantrums, says yes to everything

The couple at war on the second floor
Made peace, they're outside dating

Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to renew
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with an enthusiastic fado
It's a day off!

Without the rush of invincible air, skirt, heels, mascara
I'll go down the street, let the traffic stop

The guard enjoys, the inspector doesn't fine
I pass and the tourist tries not to disturb

Mrs. Laura will read the newspaper today
In the kitchen, her husband is wearing an apron

Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to renew
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with an enthusiastic fado
It's a day off!

A break from being who we are
And from doing everything because it has to be
A break to at least once
Life to be as we please

Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to renew
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
For sadness to go away and celebrate the fado

Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to renew
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with an enthusiastic fado
It's a day off

This is the enthusiastic fado
On the day off!
On the day off!
