Welcome to the Working Week

Elvis Costello

Lyrics Translation

Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
And you can have anyone that you have ever desired
All you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why?

Welcome to the working week
Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you
Welcome to the working week
You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it

All of your family had to kill to survive
And they're still waitin' for their big day to arrive
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive

Welcome to the working week
Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you
Welcome to the working week
You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it

I hear you sayin', "Hey, the city's alright," when you only read about it in books
Spend all your money gettin' so convinced that you never even bother to look
Sometimes I wonder if we're livin' in the same land
Why d'you want to be my friend when I feel like a juggler running out of hands?

Welcome to the working week
Oh, welcome to the working week

Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
Agora que sua foto está no jornal sendo admirada ritmicamente
And you can have anyone that you have ever desired
E você pode ter qualquer um que você já tenha desejado na vida
All you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why?
Tudo o que você precisa me dizer agora é por quê, por quê, por quê, por quê?
Welcome to the working week
Bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you
Oh, eu sei que isso não te alegra, espero que não te mate
Welcome to the working week
Bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it
Você tem que fazer isso até terminar, então é melhor começar
All of your family had to kill to survive
Sua família inteira teve que matar para sobreviver
And they're still waitin' for their big day to arrive
E eles ainda estão esperando pelo grande dia deles chegar
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive
Mas se eles soubessem como eu me sinto, eles me enterrariam vivo
Welcome to the working week
Bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you
Oh, eu sei que isso não te alegra, espero que não te mate
Welcome to the working week
Bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it
Você tem que fazer isso até terminar, então é melhor começar
I hear you sayin', "Hey, the city's alright," when you only read about it in books
Eu ouço você dizendo: "Ei, a cidade está indo bem", quando você só lê sobre isso nos livros
Spend all your money gettin' so convinced that you never even bother to look
Gasta todo o seu dinheiro ficando tão convencido de que você nunca se incomoda em olhar
Sometimes I wonder if we're livin' in the same land
Às vezes eu me pergunto se estamos vivendo na mesma terra
Why d'you want to be my friend when I feel like a juggler running out of hands?
Por que você quer ser meu amigo quando eu me sinto como um malabarista sem mãos?
Welcome to the working week
Bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
Oh, welcome to the working week
Oh, bem-vindo à semana de trabalho
Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
Ahora que tu foto está en el periódico siendo admirada rítmicamente
And you can have anyone that you have ever desired
Y puedes tener a cualquiera que hayas deseado alguna vez
All you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why?
Todo lo que tienes que decirme ahora es por qué, por qué, por qué, por qué?
Welcome to the working week
Bienvenido a la semana laboral
Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you
Oh, sé que no te emociona, espero que no te mate
Welcome to the working week
Bienvenido a la semana laboral
You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it
Tienes que hacerlo hasta que lo termines, así que mejor ponte a ello
All of your family had to kill to survive
Toda tu familia tuvo que matar para sobrevivir
And they're still waitin' for their big day to arrive
Y todavía están esperando que llegue su gran día
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive
Pero si supieran cómo me siento, me enterrarían vivo
Welcome to the working week

Oh, I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you

Te escucho decir, "Oye, la ciudad está bien", cuando solo lees sobre ella en libros
Spend all your money gettin' so convinced that you never even bother to look
Gastas todo tu dinero convenciéndote tanto que nunca te molestas en mirar
Sometimes I wonder if we're livin' in the same land
A veces me pregunto si estamos viviendo en la misma tierra
Why d'you want to be my friend when I feel like a juggler running out of hands?
¿Por qué quieres ser mi amigo cuando me siento como un malabarista que se queda sin manos?

You gotta do it till you're through it, so you better get to it
Tu dois le faire jusqu'à ce que tu l'aies fini, alors tu ferais mieux de t'y mettre
All of your family had to kill to survive
Toute ta famille a dû tuer pour survivre
And they're still waitin' for their big day to arrive
Et ils attendent toujours que leur grand jour arrive
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive
Mais s'ils savaient ce que je ressens, ils m'enterreraient vivant

Je t'entends dire : "Hé, la ville est bien", quand tu ne la connais que par les livres
Spend all your money gettin' so convinced that you never even bother to look
Tu dépenses tout ton argent à te convaincre que tu ne prends même pas la peine de regarder
Sometimes I wonder if we're livin' in the same land
Parfois, je me demande si nous vivons dans le même pays
Why d'you want to be my friend when I feel like a juggler running out of hands?
Pourquoi veux-tu être mon ami quand je me sens comme un jongleur à court de mains ?
