Gabriel o Pensador - Dança do desempregado Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

Dance of the Unemployed

• 1. Lit. 'getting a foot on the ass', another way to say someone was fired, or broken up with.
• 2. Lit. 'the eye of the street', and it also means getting laid off, because after that, you end up in the middle of the street after leaving.
• 3. 'Muamba' means contraband, which is something many people resort to when they can't find jobs, as even though there is a risk of being arrested, they have no other means of making money.
• 4. A person who carries around and offers (goods) for sale, typically advertising them by shouting.
• 5. City hall car that drives inspectors and police officers along public roads to seize goods from unlicensed street vendors.
• 6. Lit. 'Dirty', to dirty something, but in this context, it is used to indicate something went wrong, ie., in this case, that the police arrived, and anyone with illegal goods can be caught and arrested.
• 7. Another way to say someone is doing sex work on the streets.
• 8. The original lyrics never actually says the gender of the person doing the sex work, however in the music video, Gabriel calls out for the women to sing this part of the song, which is why I chose to translate it like this.
• 9. Lit. 'Put the iron(gun) on your waist' and 'go on the little shoe', but those make no sense translated like that, so I decided to adapt them a bit.
• 10. Lit. 'Van', but that'd sound a bit strange.
• 11. This one was a hard one to translate, all of the words sound very immature and I could not find more serious words, sorry.
• 12. Through the cell window.
