Ele Falava Nisso Todo Dia [English translation]
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
He used to talk about it everyday
He used to talk about it everyday
The estate, the safety, the assurance
To the wife, the little daughter, the family
He used to talk about it everyday
He used to talk about it everyday
He used to talk about it everyday
The family insurance, the family future
The insurance, the future
He used to talk about it everyday
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
He used to talk about it everyday
The uncertainty, the poverty, the bad luck
Who knows what could happen soon?
The wife, the little daughter, the family all forsaken
Depicts the frustrated career of a good man
He used to talk about it everyday
The life insurance, the nest-egg
All guarantee was needed
If the wife cries for her husband's body
The life insurance, the nest-egg
Will make sure all duty is accomplished.
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
He used to talk about it everyday
He used to talk about it everyday
If he still strong died, a good insurance would be a good fate
For the family
The lottery
He used to talk about it everyday
He was a 25 years old guy
He was a 25 years old guy
Today he got hit and died in front of the
insurance company
Oh! What a fate!
Oh! 25 years old guy
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
Alaiá, alaiá, alaiai-halleluiah
