Manha de Carnival
“Black Orpheus was written by Brazilian composer Luiz Bonfa as a theme for the 1959 Portuguese film “Orfeu Negro”(Black Orpheus).”
Morning, so beautiful morning
In life, a new song
Singing only your eyes
Your laughter, your hands
For there will be one day
What will you come from
From the strings of my guitar
That only your love sought
There comes a voice
Talk about lost kisses
On your lips
Sing my heart
Joy returned
So happy the morning
Of this love
