Canción del trabajo
Los Prisioneros
Work Song
I have work and it bothers me
It's not bad money but it's not enough to motivate me
Not convince me, is it not a better idea
To take out the puzzle, spit out the window
Flip through the newspaper
And contemplate that stack of blank papers
I have work, others don't
If through work I had access
To cut dark budgets
Or gently oil the hand that caresses me
Well, none of that, I don't think, nothing
Would make me work with enthusiasm
Or even smile at the mirror
When I shave every morning
Ready and willing
For my nine daily hours
Of going around heavy
Work dignifies man/.. Say what you want
Use your energy for something useful/... I won't argue with you
Earn a living with sweat
(Like the song)
Earn a living with the sweat of your brow
Work dignifies
But I don't quite understand what dignifies means
I can see it rhymes with petty cash
With traffic and with a little rich girl
To work every day, to work
Wasting time, I was happy
Going around, that's how I am
For my nine daily hours
Of going around heavy
Work dignifies man/.. and woman too
Use your energy for something useful/... someday you'll understand, son
Work dignifies man/... Go on
Use your energy for something useful
(Like the song)
Earn a living with the sweat of your brow, of your brow
Work dignifies man
Work dignifies man
