Ao Novo Ano (To the New Year)
Mais um ano acabou
E outra que comeca
Actores todos fomos
Entramos na nossa peca.
Another year finished
And another that starts
We were all actors
We all acted in the same play.
Quando os bons acontecimentos
Corresponderam aos nossos ideais
Demos Gracas a Deus
Bem poucos foram iguais.
When the good happenings
Corresponded to our ideals
(We gave Grace to) We Praised God
Few were equal.
A familia ainda reunida
Da-nos um raio de Esperanca
No meio das incertezas
A inocencia dum sorriso de crianca
The family still united
Gives us a ray of Hope
In the middle of all the uncertainties
The innocence of the smile of a child
Que o Novo Ano nos Traga
Paz, amor, felicidade
A mesma vida continua
Nas ases duma saudade.
Hope the New Year will bring us
Peace, love, happiness
The same life goes on
On the wings of a saudade.
