Memórias do Ofício Lisete de Oliveira Ferreira Marques

ao meio e aí acabava.
Uma linha com quatro fios
para coser a parte mais forte do calçado,
que é fixar as viras,
para depois ser fixada a sola.
A minha obra de peso...
Eramos para aí cem
no Baptista
e dizia o Baptista que não tinha nenhum
que me ganhasse.
Até quando fizesse sapatos
também eram pesados como o caralh*.
Engana mais o freguês
in the middle and that would be it.
00:29:40,784 --> 00:29:45,685
We use a thread made up of four threads
to sew the strongest part of the shoe
00:29:45,686 --> 00:29:49,886
that is attaching the welts,
so that later we can attach the sole.
00:30:01,061 --> 00:30:02,883
My work was really heavy…
00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:05,774
There were about a hundred
of us at Baptista's workshop,
00:30:05,803 --> 00:30:09,427
and he used to say that none
of the others were better than me.
00:30:10,251 --> 00:30:13,906
Even when making shoes,
they were also heavy as hell.
00:30:15,705 --> 00:30:17,851
It would simply trick the client...

00:30:17,852 --> 00:30:22,852
e, ao fim, because, in the end,
só levava goma de centeio por dentro com
força.
it would just have more rye gum inside.

Borrava um bocado as calças à gente.
00:30:38,263 --> 00:30:39,802
Our trousers would get dirty.
