A Felicidade

Sadness never ends
Happiness does

Happiness is like a drop
Of dew on a flower petal
It shines so calm
Then gently sways
And falls like a tear of love

The happiness of the poor seems
Like the grand illusion of carnival
We work all year long
For a moment of dreams
To create the fantasy
Of a king or a pirate or a gardener
Only for it to end on Wednesday

Sadness never ends
Happiness does

Happiness is like a feather
That the wind carries through the air
It flies so light
But has a short life
It needs the wind to keep blowing

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 she wakes up happy like the day
Offering kisses of love

Sadness never ends
Happiness does
