Uns Vão Bem e Outros Mal

Fausto Fausto

Some Go Well and Others Bad

Ladies and gentlemen, please make a circle
Ladies and gentlemen, please make a circle, each with their partner
There are no hard feelings here, if everyone is a worker the dance will begin
Ladies and gentlemen, stomp your feet in time, like this drum beats
We don't want oppressors here, if we're close together, the boss will leave
The boss will leave

(chorus)
Do as you please, do as you please, do as you please
Dry leaf falls to the ground, dry leaf falls to the ground
I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want
Because I'm of a different condition, because I'm of a different condition

From old empty houses, abandoned palaces, the poor made homes
But now every day, well-armed police officers evict the floors
What are these houses for, if not for the landlord to profit from speculation
Those in power start anew, but lament with boredom the housing crisis

And so it goes in Portugal, some go well and others bad

(chorus)
Do as you please, do as you please, do as you please
Dry leaf falls to the ground, dry leaf falls to the ground
I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want
Because I'm of a different condition, because I'm of a different condition

So many people without work, no bread or sardines and nowhere to live
They make do with the cold, as they are so thin from the hunger they endure
The government provides a solution, sends the poor to emigrate, and the returning emigrants
But with so much unemployment, the rich can return because they never worked

And so it goes in Portugal, some go well and others bad

(chorus)
Do as you please, do as you please, do as you please
Dry leaf falls to the ground, dry leaf falls to the ground
I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want
Because I'm of a different condition, because I'm of a different condition

And how can someone else, with such different interests, govern workers
If the one who lives well, living off their servants, has different values
Don't come to us with songs, we don't sing to forget, we sing to remember
That this life will only change, when those who work have the power
Hold onto your partner, as the dance will end

(chorus)
Do as you please, do as you please, do as you please
Dry leaf falls to the ground, dry leaf falls to the ground
I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want, I don't want what you want
Because I'm of a different condition, because I'm of a different condition
