Morning in my alley, sun through the window
The handsome Mr. gives a break to the drill
The rooster rests, the child laughs
Today there are no tantrums, says yes to everything
The couple at war on the second floor
Made peace, they're outside dating
Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a passionate fado
No rush, invincible air, skirt, heels, mascara
I'm going down to the street, let the traffic stop
The guard enjoys, the inspector doesn't fine
I pass by and the tourist tries not to disturb
Mrs. Laura will read the newspaper today
In the kitchen, her husband is wearing an apron
Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a passionate fado
A break from being who we are
And from doing everything because it has to be done
A break to at least once
Life to be as we please
Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
For sadness to take a break and celebrate the fado
Every day is a tough job
A lot of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there are plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a passionate fado
This is the passionate fado
