Identidade [English translation]

05342635 is my number, my name

My identity

Minimum wage is my wage

12 hours of work

Such happiness, such happiness

I wake up without sleeping

I make the sign of the cross and pray

I listen to the small portable radio

To know the time

I prepare almost nothing

I take it in my lunch bag

I go as a straphanger and the traffic lights are turning red

I arrive late, the day is shortened

There are so many deductions

That I don't even know about

They tell me of benefits that I have never received

It is INPS1, FGTS2

IRSS, insurance and the PIS

With thirty (years) of work

I am retired

And with more than 70

I think I'll be happy
