Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sexta-feira nem que chova by Rui Veloso from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
São oito menos cinco
There are eight minus five
Já piquei o cartão
I've already phigh the card
Para começar o dia
To start the day
Entro na oficina
I enter the workshop
São oito menos cinco
There are eight minus five
De mais uma bela matina
From another beautiful morning
Ao toque da sirene
To the siren touch
Ponho as mãos no aço
I put my hands on the steel
Saltam as limalhas
Jump the chips
Ficam no cachaço
They're in the scupine
Ao toque da sirene
To the siren touch
Marco o meu compasso
Mark my compass
A manhã vai lenta
The morning goes slow
Do meio dia nem sinais
Noon or signs
Tenho a boca amarga
My mouth is bitter
Com o sabor dos metais
With the taste of metals
A manhã vai lenta
The morning goes slow
E as horas duram mais
And the hours last longer
Vou fumar um cigarro
I'm going to smoke a cigarette
Até ao wc
Up to the toilet
Sabe-me pela vida
You know me for life
E sempre dá alento
And it's always a little bit of a breath
Vou fumar um cigarro
I'm going to smoke a cigarette
Aproveito e queimo o tempo
I take advantage and burn the time
O que vale é sexta-feira
What's worth is Friday
Depois é dia de alcova
Then it's alcove day
Cuidado com a soneira
Watch out for the sleeper
Cuidado com o escova
Watch out for the brush
O que vale é sexta-feira
What's worth is Friday
Sexta-feira nem que chova
Friday if it rains
Vou indo devagar
I'm going to slow down
Não ligo a louvores
I don't care about praise
Não me vou esfolar
I'm not going to skin myself
Também não sou um sorna
I'm not a sorna either
Mas para a obra acabar
But for the work to end
Há tempo até à reforma
There's time for retirement
