A Rapariguinha do Shopping - remaster 2015

A rapariguinha do shopping
Bem vestida e petulante
Desce pelas escadas rolante
Com uma revista de bordados
Com o olhar rutilante
E os sovacos perfumados

Quando está ao balcão
É muito distante e reservada
Nos lábios um bom batom
Sempre muito bem penteada
Cheia de rimel e crayon
E nas unhas um bom vernis
Vem abanando a anca distraída
Ao ritmo disco dos Bee Gees

You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'

A rapariguinha do shopping
No banco do autocarro
Faz absorta a sua malha
Torce o nariz delicado
Do suor da população
E manifesta o seu enfado
Por não haver primeira classe

Já não conhece ninguém
Do lugar onde cresceu
Agora só anda com gente bem
E vai ao sábado à noite à boate

Espampanante à mascar chiclete
No vigor de juventude
Com uma estrela de cá dentro
Dos bastidores de Hollywood

Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood

The Shopping Mall Girl - 2015 remaster

The shopping mall girl
Well dressed and arrogant
She descends the escalator
With a needlework magazine
With a dazzling look
And perfumed armpits

When she's at the counter
She's very distant and reserved
On her lips a good lipstick
Always very well combed
Full of mascara and crayon
And on her nails a good varnish
She comes swaying her hips distracted
To the disco rhythm of the Bee Gees

You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'
You should be dancin'

The shopping mall girl
On the bus seat
She's absorbed in knitting
She wrinkles her delicate nose
At the sweat of the population
And shows her boredom
Because there is no first class

She doesn't know anyone anymore
From the place where she grew up
Now she only hangs out with the cool people
And goes to the nightclub on Saturday nights

Dazzling as she chews gum
In the strength of youth
With a star inside of here
From the backstage of Hollywood

Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
