Un directiu em va acomiadar [English translation]

One time on the seventh floor I bade farewell to the secretary

and I could have held the door open with my foot,

and shouted "I've heard that we need to talk, so talk"!

or said "I'm sorry, but you're wrong, and above all,

you haven't worked out that I'm insane! En garde, en garde!"

When I acted as a respectable man

who understands that things just happen

and a manager, a manager, fired me.

and a manager, a manager, fired me.

And I could have worn a funny hat,

challenged him to a duel and asked for a sword

or straightened my hair as though I were possessed

and scare the hell out of him, watching me, watching me.

When I accepted and embodied

the obedient gentleman who I keep within me

and a manager, a manager, fired me.

and a manager, a manager, fired me.

I obeyed him, and he fired me!

and he fired me, and he fired me, and he fired me!

And this was the end

of this fantastic old tale

that might teach children

and distract, we hope, the old.

And here ends the performance

The manager and our hero

salute you, salute you.
