Ela É Dançarina
Chico Buarque
She's a Dancer
Our love is so good
It's just the timing that never matches
I'm an employee
She's a dancer
When I clock out
She finishes
Or: when I open the window
That's when she closes the curtain
I'm an employee
She's a dancer
I open my locker
Confetti flies
In couple matters
We don't badmouth the routine
I'm an employee
She's a dancer
When I collapse
She strikes a pose
Or when I crash on the mattress
That's when she shines on stage
She's a dancer
I'm an employee
Her planetarium
My lantern
In the year two thousand and one
If we get together
I ask for permission
And the dancer, finally
Has sworn to me
That she'll put on the show
For me
She's a dancer
I'm an employee
When I don't get paid
She, yes, bribes
In the year two thousand and one
If we get together
I ask God in heaven for permission
And the dancer, finally
Has sworn to me
That she'll put on the show
For me
I'm an employee
She's a dancer
When I heat up the soup
She's in the canteen
Or when I take a sedative
That's when she perks up
I'm an employee
She's a dancer
I flip the calendar
Glitter flies
In the year two thousand and one
If we get together
I ask for permission
And the dancer, finally
Has sworn to me
That she'll put on the show
For me
She's a dancer
I'm an employee
When I don't get paid
She, yes, bribes
In the year two thousand and one
If we get together
I ask for permission
And the dancer, finally
Has sworn to me
That she'll put on the show
For me
