Tudo Carnaval tem seu fim [English translation]

Every day a nobody wakes up already lying

Every day someone still stands asleep when awake

Every day the day doesn’t want to shine the sun

Every track is played with the faith of those who believe in the saying

That the day insists on shining

But the day insists on shining

To see the new lying

Every rose is a rose because she is called so

All Bossa is new and you don’t care if it’s old

Every carnival has its end

Every carnival has its end

And it’s the end, and it’s the end

Let me pretend that I’m happy,

Let me paint my own nose

Every band has a drum, maybe I can play it

Every samba has a chorus to lift the block

Every choice is made by those who wake up already lying

Every newspaper elects somebody who lives right next to it

And paint the banner blue

And put your stars on the blue

Why change that?

Let me pretend that I’m happy,

Let me paint my own nose
