Quando o Carnaval Chegou

When Carnival Arrived

Quando o Carnaval Chegou

Carnival, carnival, carnivalCarnaval, carnaval, carnaval
I get so sad when carnival arrivesFico tão triste quando chega o carnaval
I remember two nights of joyEu me lembro duas noites de alegria
And I recall that I lost my MariaE recordo que perdi minha Maria

Maria, she was my joyMaria, era minha alegria
When carnival arrivedQuando chegava o carnaval
We played day and nightNós brincávamos noites e dias

She was my MariaEla era minha Maria
She was my joyEla era minha alegria
Who died on the third day of revelryQue morreu no terceiro dia de folia
