Happy Anniversary, T-smith!
The first post on this blog came out one year ago today on tax day in the US. Also in honor of that same day, below is my translation of the samba “Música e Trabalho: Pecado Capital” by Paulinho da Viola.
“Music and Work: Capital Sin”
Money in your hand is a windstorm
It’s a windstorm
In the life of a dreamer
Of a dreamer
How many people fool themselves
And roll out of bed
With all the illusions they dreamed of
And the greatness falls apart
When solitude is more
Someone has said
But you need to live
And living is no joke
When the way is to get by
Everyone handles themselves
Siblings don’t recognize each other
And then money in your hand is a windstorm
Money in your hand is a solution
And solitude
Money in your hand is a windstorm
Money in your hand is a solution
And solitude
