La vida es un carnaval [English translation]

Anyone that thinks that life is unfair

They really need to know it's not like that

Life is a beautiful thing, we have to live it

Anyone that thinks they are alone and that it's wrong

They really need to know it's not like that

In this life there's no one alone, there's always someone

Oh, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and singing trough it is lovely

Oh oh oh, ah, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and those sorrows disappear singing

Oh oh oh, ah, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and singing trough it is lovely

Oh oh oh, ah, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and those sorrows disappear singing

Anyone that thinks that life is always cruel

They really need to know it's not like that

There are only some bad moments, then it all passes

Anyone that thinks that this will never change

They really need to know it's not like that

Smile through all of those hardships, and it will end right

Oh, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and singing trough it is lovely

Oh oh oh, ah, no need to cry (no need to cry)

You see, life is a carnival, and those sorrows disappear singing

Oh oh oh, ah, no need to cry (no need to cry)

(No need to cry) To enjoy life

(Carnival) To delight yourself

We need to live on singing

(Carnival) Life is a carnival

(No need to cry), We can all sing

(Carnival) Oh my friends

We need to live on singing

(Carnival) To anyone that thinks out there

(No need to cry) That life is so cruel

(Carnival) They'll never be alone

(We need to live on singing) God is with them

For those that complain a lot (Out)

For those that always criticize (Out)

For those who use weapons (Out)

For those that contaminate us (Out)

For those that make war (Out)

For those that live sinning (Out)

For those that mistreat us (Out)

For those that infect us (Out)
