Morning in my little street, the sun shines through the window
The good-looking man stops the drilling for a while
The rooster rests, the child laughs
There's no tantrums today, we say yes to everything
The couple that's always fighting from the second floor
Made up and they're outside now making out
Every day is a hassle
So much work, it makes us want to charge
Our batteries, there are so many reasons
For us to celebrate today with a captivating fado
Today is our day off!
Without the pressure of seeming invincible, skirt, jumps, mascara
I'm going down to the streets, the traffic will have to stop
The guard takes advantage, the inspector doesn't fine me
I pass and the tourist makes sure he doesn't disturb
Madam Laura reads the newspaper today
Her husband's in the kitchen with an apron
Every day is a hassle
So much work, it makes us want to charge
Our batteries, there are so many reasons
For us to celebrate today with a captivating fado
Today is our day off!
A day off of being who we are
And of doing everything because we have to
A day off so for at least this once
Our life can be as we like it
Every day is a hassle
So much work, it makes us want to charge
Our batteries, there are so many reasons
For the sadness to take a day off and the fado to celebrate
Every day is a hassle
So much work, it makes us want to charge
Our batteries, there are so many reasons
For us to celebrate today with a captivating fado
Today is our day off!
This is the fado that captivates
On our day off
On our day off
