Anonymous ( ) A Brazilian Song

The marriage of the little bourgeois

He plays the part of a bridegroom
She plays the part of making him faint
They’ll live under the same roof
Until their house falls
Until their house falls
He is a discreet employee
She puts the starch on his collars
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they explode the nest
Until they explode the nest

He plays the part of a restless virile man
She makes the children in heaps
They’ll live under the same roof
Until the fountain goes dry
Until the fountain goes dry

He is a full-time employee
She learns how to make candles
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they burn down each other
Until they burn down each other

He has a secret affair
She says she won’t get out of the line
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they marry their off-spring
Until they marry their off-spring

He talks of potassium cyanide
She dreams of poisons
They’ll live under the same roof
Until one of them decides
Until one of the decides

He has an old project
She has a mountain of channels
They’ll live under the same roof
Until the days come to an end
Until the days come to an end

He sometimes shows some affection
She undresses herself in the dark
They’ll live under the same roof
Until a brief time in the future
Until a brief time in the future

She warms-up the grandson’s porridge
He has amassed a fortune
They’ll live under the same roof
Until they are united in death
Until they are united in death
