A Felicidade

Sadness has no end
Happiness does...

Happiness is like a feather
That the wind carries through the air
It flies so lightly
But has a brief life
It needs the wind to blow nonstop.

The happiness of the poor seems
Like the great illusion of carnival
We work the whole year
For a moment of dream
To create the fantasy
Of a king, or a pirate, or a gardener
And everything ends on Wednesday.

Sadness has no end
Happiness does...

Happiness is like the drop
Of dew on a flower petal
It shines calmly
Then lightly sways
And falls like a tear of love.

My happiness is dreaming
In the eyes of my girlfriend
It's like this night
Passing, passing
In search of dawn
Speak softly please...
So that she wakes up happy like the day
Offering kisses of love.

Sadness has no end
Happiness does...
