Todo aquel que piense que la vida es desigual, 
tiene que saber que no es asi, 
que la vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla. 
Todo aquel que piense que esta solo y que esta mal, 
tiene que saber que no es asi, 
que en la vida no hay nadie solo, siempre hay alguien. 
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval, 
es mas bello vivir cantando. 
Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar, 
que la vida es un carnaval 
y las penas se van cantando.     (x2)

Todo aquel que piense que esto nunca va a cambiar, 
tiene que saber que no es asi, 
que al mal tiempo buena cara, y todo pasa. 
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval, 
es mas bello vivir cantando. 
Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar,
