Lyrics Sérgio Mendes

Sérgio Mendes

Festa

Tanta gente cansada, calada sem voz

Sem rumo sem riso, sem vez

Sem passado a lembrar

Nem cancao pra cantar

Mas e festa e a ordem do rei e cantar

E o canto calado sem voz

Pensamento no tempo a voar

A rua em festa e em mim

Todo mundo rodando a dancar

Eu na roda, na danca e voce

Voce nem viu

Mas mesmo assim fui feliz

Fui crianca na danca sem voce

Com certeza o que e bom e pra dar

Nao prometi

I can't wait

I've been waiting so long for this night

My songs they were meant for this night

If I find you alone

Then I'll know I was right

Take this time to remember

That once we were one

I can't take this time that you've gone

Please remember that once we loved

The carnival started today

And everyone lives for the sight

The children will dance all the day

And sing all night

Yes, the carnival started today

My arms will be looking for you

And maybe you'll reach for my hand

And if you do...

La, la, la, laia, la, la, la

La, lai, ala...
