Mudam-Se Os Tempos, Mudam-Se As Vontades

Times change, desires change,
Being changes, trust changes;
The whole world is composed of change,
Always taking on new qualities.

And if the whole world is composed of change,
Let's turn the tables as the day is still young.

Continually we see novelties,
Different in everything from hope;
From evil, the sorrows remain in memory,
And from good, if there was any, the longing.

But if the whole world is composed of change,
Let's turn the tables as the day is still young.

Time covers the ground with a green mantle,
Which was once covered with cold snow,
And turns the sweet song into weeping within me.

But if the whole world is composed of change,
Let's turn the tables as the day is still young.

And besides this changing every day,
Another change causes more astonishment:
That it no longer changes as it used to.

But if the whole world is composed of change,
Let's turn the tables as the day is still young.
