Dura na Queda [English translation]

She's lost

On the parade

She sings her samba

Out of the Carnival

She lost her skirt

She lost her job

She marches naturally

Street Corners

Thousands of horns

She imagines orchestras

She sambas in the fountain

Hail revelry

Pains is worthless

Happiness is worthwhile

The sun will shine on her road

The moon will light the sea

Life is beautiful

The sun, the yellow road

And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves

She sways,

She staggers

She's a tough girl

She never realizes

She left her family

She drank poison

And she'll die of laughter

She wanders,

She daydreams

She's been slapped a lot

But for those who can see

The flower is an open wound as well

And it never cries

The sun will shine on her road

The moon will alight the sea

Life is beautiful

The sun, the yellow road

And the waves, the waves, the waves, the waves
