A Felicidade

Sadness has no end
Happiness does

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

The happiness of the poor seems
The great illusion of carnival
We work the whole year
For a moment of dream
To make the fantasy
Of a king or a pirate or a gardener
For everything to end on Wednesday

Sadness has no end
Happiness does

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

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
