Arraial Triste
Ana Moura
Sad Festival
Living on the coast, I let out a scream
Left many tears in the sand
Carrying some cities on my belt
Carrying some tragedies in my throat
Left a message in a basil plant
I ask God that this time he reads it
And while the parade goes on, I don't stay
Trying not to get lost in the crowded street
I'm at the sad festival (hey!)
Tonight I'll only dance with the full moon
I'm at the sad festival
Swinging with the palm tree leaves
I'm at the sad festival (hey!)
Tonight I'll only dance with the full moon
I'm at the sad festival
Swinging with the palm tree leaves
By the seaside, right by the edge
By the seaside, by the line
By the seaside, right by the edge
By the seaside, by the line
And may these hours not pass without me
May this carriage not be my end
And may these doors not close without me
Until your strings tie to mine
I'm at the sad festival (hey!)
Tonight I'll only dance with the full moon
I'm at the sad festival
Swinging with the palm tree leaves
I'm at the sad festival (hey!)
Tonight I'll only dance with the full moon
I'm at the sad festival
Swinging with the palm tree leaves
