The king has arrived,
already he had the bells chiming throughout the city
To sing the hymns, to raise the flags
And me, a very obedient kid, was indifferent
Later I move myself to become content
Because it is New Year's
For long my people have been living this violence
It's the same toil, it's the same drumming
I'm made to disbelieve, it's always the same ploy
And those who have already stood and seen that same old egg
Today are glad because it is New Year's
My love asked me for a new colorful dress to celebrate
I said: Pretend you are not barefoot,
dance a waltz, I will be your partner
And to my friend who no longer finds humor
Every year that passes makes him cry
I say: Man, you have your pride
Don't make a fuss, the king won't be pleased
And whoever was blind might suddenly see all the blue in life
Whoever might be sick, will overcome that challenge
Whoever might have a gift, will bring the flashiest
Whoever might have some sense, will be very glad
Whoever might have reason to smile, stay there in front
Because seeing his people so valiant and loyal,
The king will be glad, because it is New Year's
