ASH WEDNESDAY MARCH
Our carnival's at the end
Nobody hears to sing the songs
Nobody's playing with happiness
And inside all hearts
What remains is home sicknesses and leached ashes
At the streets what's seen
People who does not see themselves
Does not smile
Does not kiss and hugh each other
And leave walking
Without dance and without sing love songs.
However is necessary to sing
More than never is necessary to sing
Is necessary to sing and cheer the city
The people sadness
Any day goes to finish
Everybody goes to smile
The hope came back
Is the people who dances
Happy for the life, happy to sing
Because there are many blue things
And we have so great light promises
As much love to love of that people nor know
How I wish to live for see
And to play other carnivals
With the beauty of the old carnivals
So pretty carnival marches
And people singing his song of peace
His song of peace
Vinicius de Moraes
