Cantiga Ó Traballo

Work Song

Cantiga Ó Traballo

I've worked in my lifeEu na vida traballei
And my hands don't have callusese na man non teño callos
Let those who invented work be shot four timesque lle peguen catro tiros o que inventou o traballo.
Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.

ChorusRetrouso
What a face you have and what a nose,Que cara tes e que nariz,
What a mouth you have when you smile,que boca pos cando te ris,
What a face you have and oh, what hands,que cara tes e ai que mans,
And ears like those of dogs.e unhas ourellas como as dos cans.

Some work with threadAlgúns traballan de fío
Others work sidewaysoutros traballan de lado
But I never workedpero eu nunca traballei
Because I was born tiredporque xa nacín cansado.
Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.

ChorusRetrouso
What a face you have and what a nose...Que cara tes e que nariz....

I never touched workO traballo non toquei
Happy and always contentalegre e sempre contento
Calm with little hurrytranquilo con pouca presa
I demand my monumentreclamo meu monumento.
Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.

ChorusRetrouso
What a face you have and what a nose...Que cara tes e que nariz....

Work is for the donkeyO traballo e pra o burro
I don't want to workeu non quero traballar-e
The night is for sleepinga noite e pra dourmir-e
And the day is for restinge o día pra descansar-e.
Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.Traila laraila, trailara lala laraila, traila laraila, trailara lala.

ChorusRetrouso
What a face you have and what a nose...Que cara tes e que nariz....
