Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dura Na Queda by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.

Canta seu enredo
Sing your plot
Fora do carnaval
Outside the carnival
Perdeu a saia
Lost the skirt
Perdeu o emprego
Lost his job
Desfila natural
Natural parade
Mil buzinas
A thousand horns
Imagina orquestras
Imagine orchestras
Samba no chafariz
Samba at the fountain
Viva a folia
Long live the festivities
A dor não presta
Pain sucks
Felicidade, sim
Happiness, yes
O sol ensolará a estrada dela
The sun will shine her road
A lua alumiará o mar
The moon will light the sea
A vida é bela
Life is beautiful
O sol, estrada amarela
The sun, yellow road
E as ondas, as ondas, as ondas, as ondas
And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
É dura na queda
It's hard to fall
Custa a cair em si
It's hard to come to your senses
Largou a família
He left his family
E vai morrer de rir
And you will die laughing
Já apanhou à beça
You've already had enough
Mas para quem sabe olhar
But for those who know how to look
A flor também é
The flower is also
E não se vê chorar
And you don't see yourself crying
O sol ensolará a estrada dela
The sun will shine her road
A lua alumiará o mar
The moon will light the sea
A vida é bela
Life is beautiful
O sol, estrada amarela
The sun, yellow road
E as ondas, as ondas, as ondas, as ondas
And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
