Marcha De Quarta-Feira De Cinzas/Ash Wednesday’s March
Our Carnival is over
No one hears songs being sung
No one passes by playing happily anymore
And in every heart
Longing and ashes is what’s left
In the streets all that’s seen
Is people who doesn’t even look at each other
Who doesn’t even smile at each other
Kisses and hugs each other
Or walks around
Dancing and singing songs of love.
However, it’s necessary to sing
More than ever it’s necessary to sing
It’s necessary to sing and bring joy to the city
All the sadness that we have
Will be over some day
Everyone will smile
Hope has returned
It’s the people that dances
With joy, happy to sing
Because there are so many things that are blue
And so many great promisses of light
So much love to love that we don’t even know about.
I wish I’d be alive to see
And to play other Carnivals
With the beauty of the old Carnivals
Such beautiful marches!
And people singing it’s song of peace
it’s song of peace
