Working Around the Clock
One day my mother told me
"You've grown-up already, you've got to work"
In that moment, I took the chance
And realized I was free to get by
I packed up and bought my ticket
Time flew by and here I am
I've been through all types of difficulties
I got lost around the city but found myself
On Sunday I put on my pajamas
Then I lie on bed not to feel tired
On Monday I'm already
Up to my neck with deadlines to meet
On Tuesday there's no goofing around
On Wednesday there's a job to be done
On Thursday I need to do overtime
And on Friday the work day ends at the bar
But I've got Saturday all for myself
Out of my job, to improve myself
I'm easy, I don't have any crisis,
I've got some free time to work on myself
One day my mother told me
"You've grown-up already, you've got to work"
In that moment, I took the chance
And realized I was free to get by
I packed up and bought my ticket
Time flew by and here I am
I've been through all types of difficulties
I got lost around the city but found myself
On Sunday I put on my pajamas
Then I lie on bed not to feel tired
On Monday I'm already
Up to my neck with deadlines to meet
On Tuesday there's no goofing around
On Wednesday there's a job to be done
On Thursday I need to do overtime
And on Friday the work day ends at the bar
But I've got Saturday all for myself
Out of my job, to improve myself
I'm easy, I don't have any crisis,
I've got some free time to work on myself
But I've got Saturday all for myself
Out of my job, to improve myself
I'm easy, I don't have any crisis,
I've got some free time to work on myself
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Monday
To make my ends meet
But I've got Saturday all for myself
Out of my job, to improve myself
Out of my job, to improve myself
Out of my job, to comemorate
Out of my job, to enjoy
Out of my job, to work
To work on myself

Commenti dell’autore:
'Trabalivre' is a neologism, as such, there's no direct translation for it. The translation title was thought of considering the message of the lyrics and the original song title.
