Domestic Worker

Doméstica

She went to work recommended for two rich folksFoi trabalhar recomendada pra dois gringos
Right after she arrived from the countrysideLogo assim que chegou do interior
It was a couple trying to act all high-classEra um casal tipo metido a grã-fino
But the pay was just a nightmareMas o salário era tipo um horror

That ladyA tal da madame
Had this weird habit of hittingTinha a mania esquisitona de bater
And she threw punchesE baixava a porrada
When things went wrongQuando a coisa tava errada
Didn’t want to hear a thingNão queria nem saber

Domestic workerDoméstica
She was a domestic workerEla era doméstica
No official papersSem carteira assinada
Just falling into trapsSó caía em cilada
She was a domestic workerEra empregada doméstica

Never noticed the number of razorsNunca notou a quantidade de giletes
Didn’t see the mirrored table in the hallNão reparou a mesa espelhada do salão
Didn’t ask what a little packet wasNão perguntou o que que era um papelote
The cops showed up and she got thrown in the vanBaixou os home e ela entrou no camburão

At the stationNa delegacia
Her American boss threatenedSua patroa americana ameaçou
Remember I’m a millionaireLembra que eu sou uma milionária
I was sniffling from a coldEu fungava de gripada
Don’t be a fool, pleaseNão seja otária, por favor

Domestic workerDoméstica
A dealer disguised as a domestic workerTraficante disfarçada de doméstica
It was headline newsEra manchete nos jornais
The couple turned their backs on herO casal lhe deu pra trás
Making a mess for the domestic workerSujando brabo pra doméstica

In prison, she learned from the other womenNo presídio aprendeu com as companheiras
How to get by, how to hustle like no one elseA ser dar bem, a descolar como ninguém
She became famous in the prison sceneFicou famosa no ambiente carcerário
As the girl who was meant to be someoneComo a mulata que nasceu pra ser alguém

Well, wouldn’t you know it, the domestic workerPois não é que a doméstica
Got herself a domestic prisonConseguiu uma prisão doméstica
She got out for good behaviorSaiu por bom comportamento
But swore at that momentMas jurou neste momento
To avenge the race of domestic workersVingar a raça das domésticas

Then someone advised her right awayEntão alguém lhe aconselhou logo de cara
Take a stroll and see if you can find a big shotDá um passeio e vê se arranja um barão
Because better than the countryside or a cellPorque melhor que o interior ou que uma cela
Is having tourists and cashing in on the boardwalkÉ ter turista e faturar no calçadão

Until one dayAté que um dia
A silver Mercedes honkedUm Mercedinho prateado buzinou
It was a blonde GermanEra um louro alemão
Who opened the car door for herQue lhe abriu a porta do carro
And gave her a kissE lhe tacou um bofetão

Domestic workerDoméstica
She became a domestic baronessVirou uma baronesa doméstica
Even with the baron’s quirksMesmo com as taras do barão
She held it togetherSegurou a situação
Living a domestic lifeLevando uma vida doméstica

Settled in her mansion in StuttgartRealizada em sua mansão em Stuttgart
Listening to Mozart and Beethoven galoreOuvindo Mozart e Beethoven de montão
With a little mulatto kid around the houseCom um pivete mulatinho pela casa
Who was the heir, with blue eyes like the baronQue era herdeiro, de olho azul como o barão

She needed a nannyPrecisou de uma babá
Put a bilingual ad in a newspaperBotou um anúncio bilíngue num jornal
Her butler opened the doorSeu mordomo abriu a porta
For a tacky blondePruma loura meio brega
A backyard yankeeUma yankee de quintal

Domestic workerDoméstica
She was the American domestic workerEra a americana de doméstica
The girl laughed out loudA nega deu uma gargalhada
Said: Now I’m avengedDisse: Agora tô vingada
You’re going to be my domestic worker!Tu vai ser minha doméstica!
