Jeito Alegre de Chorar
Paulo Flores
Joyful Way to Cry
I wanted to be a singer
I wanted to be the lead in my own life
I wanted to know what’s right
Now that the end is closer
So I won’t cry at the goodbye
I wanted to understand love
Hide the pain behind your smile
Do whatever it takes
To find a way out
I know, life is tough
We get hurt, but we keep fighting
May the spirits protect us
Despite the sadness, I just live to sing
Oh, my place (my place)
We have such a joyful way to cry
Even the rich, with their jealous titles
Are envious of these happy folks in their tears
Oh, my place (my place)
We have such a joyful way to cry
Even the rich, with their jealous titles
Are envious of these happy folks in their tears
So happy in their tears
So happy in their tears
But my people are happy in their tears
(So happy in their tears)
But my people are happy in their tears
(So happy in their tears)

Are envious of these happy folks in their tears (uh, uh)
So happy in their tears (uh, uh)
Happy in their tears
My people are so happy in their tears (so happy)
My people are so happy in their tears (happy in their tears)
They’re so happy in their tears, oh, mama (so happy)
But they’re happy in their tears, oh, mama (happy in their tears)
(So happy, happy in their tears)
So happy in their tears, oh, mama (so happy)
(Happy in their tears, so happy)
