Marisa Monte "Ensaboa" lyrics

Translation to:en

Ensaboa

Sabão pedacinho assimOlha água um pinguinho assimO tanque um tanquinho assimA roupa um tantão assim

Ensaboa mulata ensaboaEnsaboa tô ensaboandoTô lavando a minha roupaLá em casa estão me chamando,Ensaboa mulata ensaboaEnsaboa tô ensaboando

Trabalho um tantão assimCansaço é bastante simRoupa um tantão assimDinheiro um tiquinho assim

Ensaboa mulata ensaboaEnsaboa tô ensaboando

Everybody run, run, runEverybody run, run, runEverybody scatter, scatterSome people lost some bloodSomeone nearly die colonial mentality

Eu não sou daquiEu não tenho nadaTristeza não tem fim a felicidade simMeu coração é a liberdadeThey leave sorrow tears and blood

Soap it Up

Soap, just a bitWater it just a bitThe tank, just a small tankThe clothes, so many

Soap it up, mulata, soap it upSoap it up, I'm soaping itI'm soaping my clothesBack home they are calling meSoap it up, mulata, soap it upSoap it up, I'm soaping it

I work so muchAnd I get so tiredThe clothes to wash are so manyAnd I get so little money

Soap it up, mulata, soap it upSoap it up, I'm soaping it

Everybody run, run, runEverybody run, run, runEverybody scatter, scatterSome people lost some bloodSomeone nearly die colonial mentality

I'm not from hereI have nothingSadness is endless, however hapiness isn'tMy heart is freedomThey leave sorrow tears and blood
