Secretária da Beira do Cais
César Sampaio
Secretary by the Dockside
She waits and doesn't despair on the dockside.
She wants whoever comes, whoever brings, whoever offers more.
She knows that the men in white are about to arrive.
And in slow motion, she tries to make a living.
Her restless gaze wavers in any direction.
Her body arched, parades in the darkness.
She is a shining star in the life she leads.
She is the Wonder Woman of the dockside.
End of the month, it's time to see the relatives.
She goes carrying millions in gifts.
In an instant, she becomes a country girl.
Like someone with the purity of someone who has never had love.
How are you, asks the father, his dear daughter.
He wants to know how her life is going.
She says she is very happy in the life she leads.
That she works as a secretary by the dockside.
That she works as a secretary by the dockside.
That she works as a secretary by the dockside.
That she works as a secretary by the dockside.
