Morning in my alley, sun through the window
Mr. Handy calls a truce with the drill
The rooster rests, the kid laughs
Today there's no tantrums, says yes to everything
The couple at war on the second floor
Made peace, they're outside making out
Every day is a hard job
A load of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there's plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a fado that fires up
No-rush invincible vibe, skirt, heels, mascara
I'm heading down the street, traffic can stop
The cop enjoys it, the meter maid won't fine
I walk by and the tourist tries not to get in the way
Mrs. Laura today will read the paper
In the kitchen her husband is in an apron
Every day is a hard job
A load of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there's plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a fado that fires up
Day off to be who we are
And to do everything because it has to be
Time off so at least once
Life can be just how we feel like
Every day is a hard job
A load of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there's plenty of reasons
For sadness to take a break and fado to celebrate
Every day is a hard job
A load of work, we need to recharge
Batteries, there's plenty of reasons
To celebrate today with a fado that fires up
This is the fado that fires up
