The working-class folks
pull the heavy cart,

singing songs aloud as they work!
Catching fish day after day,
the poor fishermen out at sea,

sing out "Elalo" together!

they are all of one kind,
doing their daily work by singing songs!

that weigh down the heart!

put on a musical concert, my friends!

and only good things must happen!
Everything has shot up
Chorus: Hey!

The end of the month arrives,
yet our pay is not enough, good people!

who generously gives a bonus!
