Corda no Pescoço

And how's the people doing?
They're with the rope around the neck
It's the popular saying
Leave the meat, gnaw the bone
But the life of these people
I bet it's a mess
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit

I keep getting tripped
Getting tired, with the saucer in hand
A rigged game
Our problems have no solution
So much empty talk
And the big turnaround is just a sketch
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit

My buddy
If I weren't skilled, I'd fall to the ground
So much abundance on the table
You see it on the TV soap opera
It almost seems like a joke
And I'm almost at the bottom of the pit
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit

I already know this move
Empty promise and he says he's a good guy
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit

It tastes like quince jelly
And the poor people are the ones who bear the burden
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit

On payday
The gang at home makes a fuss
But of the fruit they like
I eat even the pit
