Carnaval aí vamos nós!!!

Dessa vez chegou mais cedo - melhor para o Brasil que fica parado menos tempo!
Mas já que chegou o negócio é curtir!!!

E vamos nós!!!!

Drink, and dance and laugh and lie,

Love the reeling midnight through,

For tomorrow we shall die!

(But, alas, we never do.)

- Dorothy Parker
