Lyrics translated into English:
This year there was no carnival.
Happiness hid itself away
And didn’t say when it would return.
It’s the first time that February arrives,
That for which I waited the entire year,
And I’m not going to get dressed up.
As long as there are no vaccines in arms,
There will be no Colombinas or clowns.
There will be no revelers singing.
But next year I will invite you
To come with me up to Santa Teresa,
Stage of delicacies and magic of carnivals of old.
I promise you it will be like it was before.
Hugging everyone with no hurry.
Then we will descend walking together with the street-sweepers.
We will arrive in the Paris Square
To meet new and old friends,
And we won’t forget that our strengthIs knowing that this sadness
At some point will pass.
This year there was no carnival.
Happiness hid itself away
And didn’t say when it would return.
It’s the first time that February arrives,
That for which I waited the entire year,
And I’m not going to get dressed up.
As long as there are no vaccines in arms,
There will be no Colombinas or clowns.
There will be no revelers singing.
But next year I will invite you
To come with me up to Santa Teresa,
Stage of delicacies and magic of carnivals of old.
I promise you it will be like it was before.
Hugging everyone with no hurry.
Then we will descend walking together with the street-sweepers.
We will arrive in the Paris Square
To meet new and old friends,
And we won’t forget that our strengthIs knowing that this sadness
At some point will pass.
