A Felicidade
Tom Jobim
Happiness
Sadness has no end (sadness has no end)
Happiness does
Happiness is like a feather
That the wind carries through the air
It flies so lightly, but has a brief life
It needs the wind to blow incessantly
The happiness of the poor seems
The great illusion of carnival
We work the whole year
For a moment of dream, to create the fantasy
Of a king, or a pirate, or a gardener
And everything ends on Wednesday
Sadness has no end
Happiness does
Sadness has no end
Happiness does
Happiness is like a dewdrop on a flower petal
It shines calmly
Then, gently sways
And falls like a tear of love
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
Sadness has no end
Sadness has no end
Sadness has no end
Sadness has no end
Sadness has no end
