On the other hand, she also plays the customs officer, who, in a threatening tone, does not hesitate to open the suitcases with the intention of keeping some of the goods.
"I'm going to harvest with your little bags. I'm going to take away your bundles, and even if you protest and kick, it will be for nothing," or "a customs officer who doesn't raid won't thrive," sings Berridy, transforming the original lyrics into a satirical commentary rich in social critique.
