Sonho de um Carnaval [English translation]

Carnival, undeceive

Left the pain home waiting for me

And I played and yelled and went dressend in a king's costume

Wednesday always uncovers

Carnival, undeceive

This brunette left me dreaming

Hand in hand, foot on the ground

And today doesn't even remembers me

Wednesday always uncovers

It was a song, only one rope

And a wish

To take the hand

Of each of the brothers through the city

At the carnival, hope

That people far away live in memories

That sad people can join the dance

That adults know to be a child
