A Felicidade (Happiness)

Happiness must end
But sadness lingers on and on
Happiness is like dew drops on a flower
That sparkles for a moment in the dawn
Then fall like tear drops from the eyes of a young girl
Who cries to realize her love was gone
Poor folks work all year to make one dream come true
To share a night of joy at carnival
They dress up as clowns and pirates and kings
And dance the night away
They're still dancing at day break
As long as they dance they can pretend
That happiness and Carnival never ends

That happiness and Carnival won't end
