Story Behind the Song
Recorded in Havana, Cuba
English translation of lyrics:
Everybody who thinks that life is rough
Has to know that it's not that way
That life is beautiful
You just have to live it
Everybody who thinks he's alone and not doing well
Has to know that it's not that way
Because in this life nobody is alone
There is always somebody around
You don't have to cry
Because life is a carnival
And it's much better
To sing through life
Oh, oh, oh
You don't have to cry
Because life is a carnival
And griefs go away by singing (Chorus)
Everybody who thinks that life is always cruel
Has to know that it's not that way
There are bad moments in life
But they go away
Everybody who thinks that nothing ever changes
Has to know that it's not that way
Put on a smiling face in bad times
Everything changes.
Ah! You don't have to cry
Because life is a carnival
And it's better
To sing through life
Oh, oh, oh
You don't have to cry
Because life is a carnival
And griefs go away by singing (Chorus)
Carnival is for laughing-
You don't have to cry, you should enjoy it
Carnival, - you should enjoy it
You have to sing through life (I)
Carnival, -everybody who thinks –
You don't have to cry- that life is cruel-
Carnival- you'll never be alone-
You have to sing through life - God is with you (II)
(Chorus, improvisation and chorus)
Carnival,
You don't have to cry
Carnival,
You have to sing through life (twice)
Lyrics
Todo aquel que piensa que la vida es desigual
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que la vida es una hermosura
Hay que vivirla.
Todo aquel que piensa que está solo y está mal
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que en la vida no hay nadie solo
Siempre hay alguien.
Ay, no hay que llorar
Que la vida es un carnaval
Y es más bello vivir cantando
Oh, oh, oh
Ay, no hay que llorar,
Que la vida es un carnaval
Y las penas se van cantando (Coro)
Todo aquel que piensa que la vida siempre es cruel
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que en la vida hay momentos malos
Todo pasa.
Todo aquel que piensa que esto nunca va a cambiar
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que a mal tiempo buena cara
Todo cambia.
Ay, no hay que llorar
Que la vida es un carnaval
Y es más bello vivir cantando
Oh, oh, oh
Ay, no hay que llorar
Que la vida es un carnaval
Y las penas se van cantando (Coro)
Carnaval, es para reír
No hay que llorar, para gozar
Carnaval, para disfrutar
Hay que vivir cantando ( I )
Carnaval, todo aquel que piensa
No hay que llorar, que la vida es cruel
Carnaval, nunca estará solo
Hay que vivir cantando, Dios está con él ( II )
NOTA: I (se repite 3 veces) alternando con II (se repite 2 veces)
Y toda la gente buena
Pa'cá
Y toda la gente mala
Pa'llá
Pa' la gente que nos contagia
Pa'llá
Pa' la gente que nos maltrata
Pa'llá
Para aquellos que viven pecando
Pa'llá
Para aquellos que nos hacen la guerra
No hay que llorar
Carnaval,
Hay que vivir cantando (NOTA: se repite 2 veces)
Pa'llá
Para aquellos que nos contagian
Pa'llá, pa'llá, pa'llá
NOTA: I ( repite una vez)
Y pa'quí y pa'llá
Hay que vivir cantando (se repite 2 veces)
I, II, I
Carnaval,
No hay que llorar
Carnaval
Hay que vivir cantando(se repite 2 veces)
