Boas Festas [English translation]

The night fell

The bells tolled

And we got

Happy, praying

Hey, Santa

See if you have

Happiness

To give me

I thought that everyone

Was a child to Santa Claus

Just like that, and I thought

That happiness

Was some paper game

It's been a while since I asked

But Santa Claus didn't come for me

For sure he's died already

Or maybe, happiness

Is not a toy

The night fell

The bells tolled

And we got

Happy, praying

Hey, Santa

See if you have

Happiness

To give me

I thought that everyone

Was a child to Santa Claus

Just like that, and I thought

That happiness

Was some paper game

It's been a while since I asked

But Santa Claus didn't come for me

For sure he's died already

Or maybe, happiness

Is not a toy

The night fell

The bells tolled

And we got

Happy, praying...
