Escravo De Alegria

Vinicius de Moraes Vinicius de Moraes

Slave of Joy

And I who walked in this darkness
Suddenly it happened to me
It stole my sleep and loneliness
Showed me what I feared to see
Without asking for permission or forgiveness
Came crazy to drive me crazy

I'll sleep wanting to wake up
To then live together again
With this light that came to inhabit me
With this fire that makes me burn
It scares me and comes to encourage me
Will inevitably make me suffer

I walk as a slave of joy
And nowadays, my people, that's not normal
If love is fantasy
Lately I find myself in the middle of a carnival
