A Felicidade

João Gilberto João Gilberto

Happiness

Sadness has no end
Happiness, yes

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 incessantly

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, yes
Sadness has no end
Happiness, yes

Happiness is like a 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, yes
Sadness has no end
Happiness, yes
Sadness has no end
Happiness, yes
Sadness has no end
Happiness, yes
