Lyrics & translation
Verse
O chão está pegajoso de café.
The floor is sticky with coffee.
Pratos sujos cobrem toda a pia.
Dirty plates cover the whole sink.
Nossa noite foi um pesadelo total.
Our night was a total nightmare.
Dez horas de puro caos absoluto.
Ten hours of pure absolute chaos.
Chorus
Sobrou panqueca fria no balcão.
Cold pancakes remain on the counter.
Ninguém pediu esse nascer do sol.
Nobody ordered this sunrise.
Passa o xarope para o cozinheiro.
Pass the syrup to the cook.
A última mesa agora é nossa.
The last table is ours now.
Verse
O sol nasce atrás do vidro.
Sun rises behind the glass pane.
Tiramos os aventais manchados de óleo.
We take off grease-stained aprons.
Sentamos exaustos na última mesa redonda.
We sit exhausted at the last round table.
Ninguém precisa dizer mais nada agora.
Nobody needs to say anything now.
Chorus
Sobrou panqueca fria no balcão.
Cold pancakes remain on the counter.
Ninguém pediu esse nascer do sol.
Nobody ordered this sunrise.
Passa o xarope para o cozinheiro.
Pass the syrup to the cook.
A última mesa agora é nossa.
The last table is ours now.
Bridge
Dividimos o que restou na chapa.
We share what remained on the griddle.
O cansaço virou uma piada boba.
Fatigue turned into a silly joke.
Sobrevivemos juntos a mais um turno.
We survived another shift together.
Chorus
Sobrou panqueca fria no balcão.
Cold pancakes remain on the counter.
Ninguém pediu esse nascer do sol.
Nobody ordered this sunrise.
