The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Os Demitidos" by Jorge Palma.
Lyrics
Estás demitido, obviamente demitido
Tu nunca roubaste um beijo
E fazes pouco das emoções
És o espantalho dos amantes
Estás demitido, obviamente demitido
Evitas a competência
Não reconheces o mérito
És um pilar da cepa torta
E assim vamos vivendo
Na província dos obséquios
Cedendo e pactuando enquanto der
Filósofos sem arte, afugentamos o desejo
Temos preguiça de viver
Estás demitido, obviamente demitido
Subornas os próprios filhos
Trocaste o tempo por máquinas
Tu és um pai desnaturado
Estás demitido, obviamente demitido
Arrasas a obra alheia
Às vezes usas pseudónimo
Tu és um crítico de merda
E assim vamos vivendo…
Estás demitido, obviamente demitido
Encostas-te às convergências
Nunca investiste num ideal
Tu sempre foste um demitido
Tu foste sempre um demitido
Já nasceste demitido!
Lyrics translation
You're fired, obviously fired.
You never stole a kiss
And you do little of the emotions
You're the scarecrow of lovers
You're fired, obviously fired.
You avoid competition
You don't recognize the merit
You're a pillar of the crooked strain
And so we live
In the province of gifts
Giving and agreeing while giving
Philosophers without art, we chase away desire
We are too lazy to live
You're fired, obviously fired.
Bribes the children themselves
You traded time for machines
You're a denatured father
You're fired, obviously fired.
You destroy someone else's work
Sometimes you use a pseudonym
You're a fucking critic.
And so we live…
You're fired, obviously fired.
Lean towards the convergences
You never invested in an ideal
You've always been a fired man.
You were always fired.
You were born fired!
