Tanta gente cansada, calada sem voz
Sem rumo sem riso, sem vez
Sem passado a lembrar
Nem canção pra cantar
Mas é festa e a ordem do rei é cantar
E o canto calado sem voz
Pensamento no tempo a voar
A rua em festa e em mim
Todo mundo rodando a dançar
Eu na roda, na dança e você
Você nem viu
Mas mesmo assim fui feliz
Fui criança na dança sem você
Com certeza o que é bom é pra dar
Não prometi
I can't wait
I've been waiting so long for this night
My songs they were meant for this night
If I find you alone
Then I'll know I was right
Take this time to remember
That once we were one
I can't take this time that you've gone
Please remember that once we loved
The carnival started today
And everyone lives for the sight
The children will dance all the day
And sing all night
Yes, the carnival started today
My arms will be looking for you
And maybe you'll reach for my hand
And if you do......
La, la, la, laia, la, la, la
La, lai, ala…
