カトピリ (Catupiry)

I'm tired of working like a slave
I'm tired of fighting just to earn my bread
I'm tired of getting tired making my boss rich

Need to take a week off
A week of sun by the seaside
Beach, surfboard all afternoon, and to top it off
A good samba, to dance

I want to see the sun rising in Angra dos Reis
Cabo Frio will see me, I'm already a regular there
I'll set up in Armação, beach in Salvador
The lighthouse, the sunset, then

Lots of shrimp baked with catupiry
An ice cream, a Tupi cachaça cocktail
A moonlit walk just to cuddle
Good, good, good

I'm tired of getting up before dawn
I'm tired of rushing to the Sê square
I'm tired of making an effort without even knowing why

A week of vacation to recharge
A week with nothing to annoy me
After sweating so much, I deserve
A good moment, to forget

I want to see if there's a boat in Itacuruçá
I want to see if there's a dance in Itamaracá
I want someone to take me to the forró to dance
A baião, at Gonzagão, then

Another shrimp baked with catupiry
Suddenly, another Tupi cachaça cocktail
Someone to chat me up and kiss me
Good, good, good

I'm tired of working like a slave
I'm tired of fighting just to earn my bread
I'm tired of getting tired making my boss rich

Need to take a week off
A week of sun by the seaside
Beach, surfboard all afternoon, and to top it off
A good samba, to dance

I want to see the sun rising in Angra dos Reis
Cabo Frio will see me, I'm already a regular there
I'll set up in Armação, beach in Salvador
The lighthouse, the sunset, then

Lots of shrimp baked with catupiry
An ice cream, a Tupi cachaça cocktail
A moonlit walk just to cuddle
Good, good, good
