Quero Morrer No Carnaval
Elza Soares
Lyrics
Translation
Quero morrer no carnaval, na Avenida Central, sambando
I want to die in Carnival, on Central Avenue, dancing
O povo na rua cantando
The people on the street singing
O derradeiro samba
The ultimate samba
Que eu fizer chorando
That I make crying
Quero morrer no carnaval, na Avenida Central, sambando
I want to die in Carnival, on Central Avenue, dancing
O povo na rua cantando
The people on the street singing
O derradeiro samba
The ultimate samba
Que eu fizer chorando
That I make crying
Quero morrer fantasiado de palhaço
I want to die dressed as a clown
Que sempre fui sem ter vestido a fantasia
Which I always was without wearing the costume
Eu, que vivia ouvindo risos de fracasso
I, who always heard laughs of failure
Quero morrer ouvindo risos de alegria
I want to die hearing laughs of joy
Quero morrer no carnaval, na Avenida Central, sambando
I want to die in Carnival, on Central Avenue, dancing
O povo na rua cantando
The people on the street singing
O derradeiro samba
The ultimate samba
Que eu fizer chorando
That I make crying
Quero morrer no carnaval, na Avenida Central, sambando
I want to die in Carnival, on Central Avenue, dancing
O povo na rua cantando
The people on the street singing
O derradeiro samba
The ultimate samba
Que eu fizer chorando
That I make crying
Quero morrer fantasiado de palhaço
I want to die dressed as a clown
Que sempre fui sem ter vestido a fantasia
Which I always was without wearing the costume
Eu, que vivia ouvindo risos de fracasso
I, who always heard laughs of failure
Quero morrer ouvindo guizos de alegria
I want to die hearing jingles of joy
