Lá Isso É
Sérgio Godinho
There That Is
The car has four wheels (doesn't it? there it does)
The bench has three little feet (doesn't it? there it does)
The blind has two little eyes
When pretending to limp
Fascism is a worm (isn't it? there it is)
That infiltrates the apple (isn't it? there it is)
It either comes with hobnailed boots
Or with woolen little feet
The boss is the one who puts in charge
But the people are the ones who rule the people
Oh that's clear, clear
Clearer than the clear of an egg
There are those who command to obey (aren't there? there are)
There are those who take care of that (aren't there? there are)
And there are also those who have
No point to hold on to
There are right-wing parties (aren't there? there are)
Who always put the ball in the center (don't they? there they do)
But the one who dribbles them best
Is the one who will score the goal
The boss is the one who puts in charge
But the people are the ones who rule the people
Oh that's clear, clear
Clearer than the clear of an egg
It's the people from our land (aren't they? there they are)
It's our people from the land (aren't they? there they are)
From Trás-os-Montes to the Algarve
From the islands to the mainland
And it's strange that for some
This is not evident
The boss is the one who puts in charge
But the people are the ones who rule the people
Oh that's clear, clear
Clearer than the clear of an egg
