Eu não quero mais chorar
I don't want to cry anymore
Por causa de um amor qualquer
Because of any love
Minha dor tem que acabar
My pain has to end
No carnaval, se deus quiser
At carnival, if God wills it
Faz um ano deste amor
It's been a year since this love
Esperei até cansar
I waited until I was tired
Carnaval me trouxe a dor
Carnival brought me the pain
Carnaval tem que levar
Carnival has to take it away
