umbertino Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Magnificent imo.... Happiness (sung by one of his musicians, the flute player Danilo Caymmi...Good voice) Talks about the feeling Brazilians go through during the Carnival period (where whichever sadness is abolished to leave room to happiness instead ) , which they have been expecting an entire year ...And the fact that all the strong joy emotions have to necessarily focus in a few days span and then everything is over on ( Ash) Wednesday The song begins with the line "Tristeza nao tem fim, felicidade sim...." Sadness has no end...while happiness does..... I find that so true..... A felicidade A felicidade Tristeza não tem fim Felicidade sim A felicidade é como a pluma Que o vento vai levando pelo ar Voa tão leve Mas tem a vida breve Precisa que haja vento sem parar A felicidade do pobre parece A grande ilusão do carnaval A gente trabalha o ano inteiro Por um momento de sonho Pra fazer a fantasia De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira E tudo se acabar na quarta-feira Tristeza não tem fim Felicidade sim Tristeza não tem fim Felicidade sim A felicidade é como a gota De orvalho numa pétala de flor Brilha tranquila Depois de leve oscila E cai como uma lágrima de amor A minha felicidade está sonhando Nos olhos da minha namorada É como esta noite Passando, passando Em busca da madrugada Falem baixo, por favor Pra que ela acorde alegre como o dia Oferecendo beijos de amor Tristeza não tem fim Tristeza não tem fim Tristeza não tem fim Tristeza não tem fim Tristeza não tem fim Tristeza não tem fim https://lyricstranslate.com/en/felicidade-happiness.html-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
