These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tristeza não tem fim
Sadness has no end
Felicidade sim
Happiness yes
A felicidade é como a gota
Happiness is like a drop
De orvalho numa pétala de flor
Of dew on a flower petal
Brilha tranquila
Shine quietly
Depois de leve oscila
After slight oscillation
E cai como uma lágrima de amor
And falls like a tear of love
A felicidade do pobre parece
The happiness of the poor seems
A grande ilusão do carnaval
The great illusion of carnival
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
We work all year round
Por um momento de sonho
For a dream moment
Pra fazer a fantasia
To make the fantasy
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
King or pirate or gardener
Pra tudo se acabar na quarta feira
For everything to end on Wednesday
Tristeza não tem fim
Sadness has no end
Felicidade sim
Happiness yes
A felicidade é como a pluma
Happiness is like a feather
Que o vento vai levando pelo are
That the wind carries through the air
Voa tão leve
Fly so lightly
Mas tem a vida breve
But it has a short life
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
There needs to be non-stop wind
A minha felicidade está sonhando
My happiness is dreaming
Nos olhos da minha namorada
In my girlfriend's eyes
É como esta noite
It's like tonight
Passando, passando
Passing, passing
Em busca da madrugada
In search of the dawn
Falem baixo, por favor
Keep your voice down, please
Pra que ela acorde alegre como o dia
So that she wakes up happy as the day
Oferecendo beijos de amor
Offering kisses of love
Tristeza não tem fim
Sadness has no end
Felicidade sim
Happiness yes
