about

"Manhã de Carnaval" ("Carnival Morning") is a song by Brazilian composer Luiz Bonfá and lyricist Antônio Maria.

"Manhã de Carnaval" appeared as a principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese-language film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) by French director Marcel Camus. The film's soundtrack also included songs by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes. "Manhã de Carnaval" appear in the film, including versions sung or hummed by both the principal characters (Orfeu and Euridice), as well as an instrumental version, so that the song has been described as the main musical theme of the film.

The film Orfeu Negro was an international success (winning, for example, an Academy Award, an Oscar in the category Best Foreign Language Film in 1960), and brought the song to a large audience. "Manhã de Carnaval"' became one of the first Bossa Nova compositions to gain popularity outside Brazil. Particularly in the United States, the song is considered to be one of the most important Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establish the Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s.
"Manhã de Carnaval" has become a jazz standard in the U.S.

Rogerio Bicudo perform this song in the complete version with all the verses from the lyricist, in its very essence, with guitar and vocal.

lyrics

Manhã de Carnaval
(Luiz Bonfá / Antonio Maria)

Manhã, tão bonita manhã
Na vida, uma nova canção
Cantando só teus olhos
Teu riso, tuas mãos
Pois há de haver um dia
Em que virás
Das cordas do meu violão
Que só teu amor procurou
Vem uma voz
Falar dos beijos perdidos
Nos lábios teus

Manhã tão bonita manhã
De um dia feliz que chegou
O sol no céu surgiu
E em cada luz brilhou
Voltou o sonho então
Ao coração
Depois deste dia feliz
Não sei se outro dia haverá
E nossa manhã
Tão bela final
Manhã de carnaval

Canta o meu coração
Alegria voltou
Tão feliz a manhã
Deste amor
