Se Eu Fosse Teu Patrão

Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

If I Were Your Boss

I could guess you
And desire you
And, auction you off
I'd mess up your mouth, brunette
If I were your boss

Oh, I'd treat you
Like a slave
Oh, I wouldn't forgive you
I'd tear your clothes, brunette
If I were your boss

I'd imprison you
I'd chain you
I'd tie you to the stove
I wouldn't give you soup, brunette
If I were your boss

I'd corner you
I'd dominate you
I'd violate you on the floor
I'd leave you broken, brunette
If I were your boss

When you broke down
And you fell apart
And you were no good anymore
I'd buy another one, brunette
If I were your boss

For I'd pay you right
A citizen's wage
I'd put a medal on your chest
If I were your boss

Time would pass calmly
And without complaint
You wouldn't even notice, dark one
Your curse

And you'd only get poison
Kissing my hand
Hate would soften you, dark one
Hate from your brother

Your son would get gangrene
Anger, plague, and drought
Cholera in your dark one
And you wouldn't complain

I'd give you a small coffee
And butter on bread
Then I'd caress you, dark one
As one caresses a dog

I'd always give you hope
Of a good future
You'd idolize me, child
If I were your boss

But if you spat on the plate where you ate beans
I'd shut down your union, if I were your boss

If I were your boss
If I were your boss
If I were your boss
If I were your boss
