Rita Lee
Balacobaco (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
I wake up at 5 in the morning
Complaining about the routine
I do the cleaning
Hard life of being a heroine
My skull face
Goes open the fridge
I forgot to do the groceries
I'll go through the garbage can
A fishbone for the kitten
For the dog a little meat bone
Reheat the coffee
And leave in a hurry
I'm late every day
I'm already used to it
The transport is always packed
Hard life of being a maid
[Chorus]
Stop the world
I want to get off
There are many vagabonds
After my bribe
Life is a pool game
But I trust my cue
My appeal
Is exceptional
Is exceptional
[Verse 2]
My boss is strange
She spents the day in bed
Her husband is full of money
The oldest daughter is a bitch
The middle daughter is preppy
The youngest son is a little girl
My place is in the kitchen
Hard life of being a weasel
The driver is hitting on me
The gardener is flirting with me
The gatekeeper is getting all worked up
Yeah, I'm already warning
My love is for those who can
Who can't, get by
You can get angry
Nobody fucks up with me
[Chorus]
Stop the world
I want to get off
There are many vagabonds
After my bribe
Life is a pool game
But I trust my cue
My appeal
Is exceptional
Is exceptional
[Verse 3]
I serve the dinner and leave
It's past my shift
Abusing it takes time
The rain comes and it gets worse
Walking on the sidewalk
Afraid of being robbed
Afraid of being kidnapped
Afraid of being raped
I'm an independent slave
I earn less than an indigent
I can't get sick
Tomorrow I'm working
I'll pray for Jesus
Relieve my burden
My hole has no light
Hard life of being an ostrich
[Chorus]
Stop the world
I want to get off
There are many vagabonds
After my bribe
Life is a pool game
But I trust my cue
My appeal
Is exceptional
Is exceptional
