Ele estava desempregado há muito tempo; tinha filhos
He had been unemployed for a long time; had children
E do trabalho restavam cadilhos
And the work was left
E da fome sobravam rastilhos
And the hunger was left over
Disseram-lhe
They told him
Só te oferecemos emprego se te cortarmos a mão
We only offer you a job if we cut your hand
Ele estava desempregado há mais tempo do que sabia
He'd been out of work longer than he knew
E mesmo se não queria, tinha filhos, aceitou
And even if he didn't want to, he had kids, he accepted
Logo ali no cepo a deixou
Right there on the stump left her
A mão, a mão, a mão
The hand, the hand, the hand
Outra vez despedido de novo procurou emprego
Again fired again sought employment
Só te oferecemos emprego se te cortarmos a mão
We only offer you a job if we cut your hand
Aquela que te resta. a 2ª mão
The one you have left. the 2nd hand
Ele estava desempregado; tinha filhos, aceitou
He was unemployed; had children, accepted
Porque o tempo lhe fugia
Because time ran away from him
Entre os últimos dedos lhe fugia
Between his last fingers, he was running away
A mão, o tempo, a mão
The hand, the time, the hand
Porque o tempo lhe fugia
Because time ran away from him
Entre os últimos dedos lhe fugia
Between his last fingers, he was running away
A mão, o tempo, a mão
The hand, the time, the hand
E quando um dia lhe disseram
And when one day they told you
Só tens emprego se te cortarmos a cabeça
You only have a job if we cut your head off
Ele estava desempregado há mais tempo do que podia
He'd been out of work longer than he could
Tinha filhos, aceitou
He had children, accepted
E baixando a cabeça assentou
And lowering his head sat
Porque o tempo lhe fugia
Because time ran away from him
Entre os últimos dedos lhe fugia
Between his last fingers, he was running away
A mão, o tempo, a mão
The hand, the time, the hand
