Quando o Carnaval Chegou
Carnaval, carnaval, carnaval
Fico tão triste quando chega o carnaval
Eu me lembro duas noites de alegria
E recordo que perdi minha Maria
Maria, era minha alegria
Quando chegava o carnaval
Nós brincávamos noites e dias
Ela era minha Maria
Ela era minha alegria
Que morreu no terceiro dia de folia
Carnaval
When Carnival Arrived
Carnival, carnival, carnival
I get so sad when carnival arrives
I remember two nights of joy
And I recall that I lost my Maria
Maria, she was my joy
When carnival arrived
We played day and night
She was my Maria
She was my joy
Who died on the third day of revelry
Carnival
