Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Marchinha Fúnebre by Rodrigo Alarcon from Portuguese to English.
O meu samba ninguém ouviu
Nobody heard my samba
Enfeitei abre alas pra te ver passar
I decked the opening float to watch you pass
Fantasias mandei costurar
I had costumes sewn
Uma faixa pra me declarar
A banner to declare my love
Como pôde me abandonar
How could you leave me
Fez do meu carnaval
Turned my carnival
Virar um funeral
Into a funeral
E agora o que é que eu faço
And now what do I do
Faço marchinha fúnebre
I play a funeral march
E crio o bloco do desamor
And I start the heartbreak bloco
Com fantasias pretas
With black costumes
Pela avenida celebro a minha dor
Down the avenue I celebrate my pain
E na quarta por entre as cinzas
And on Wednesday amid the ashes
Ameaço assim renascer
I threaten to rise again
É mais um carnaval que se acaba
It's one more carnival ending
É o fim entre eu e você
It's over between you and me
