Caetano Veloso – Manha De Carnaval lyrics

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

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

I don't speak Portuguese, and I have never seen Black Orpheus. But I have always been enchanted by this song, from the first time I heard it sung by A C Jobim, I believe.. The first time I heard it, I created a fictional backstory for it...a young man meets a beautiful girl during Carnaval, and they fall deeply in love in just one evening. But she never tells him her name, or where she lives, and they are separated in the crowds, and he cannot find her in the hundreds of thousands of people in the streets.

...And now, at dawn, he wanders the littered, empty streets, in the Manha de Carnaval, hoping, praying to find her, to catch a glimpse of her. But she is gone forever.

I realize this backstory has NOTHING to do with the actual lyrics, or the script of the movie Black Orpheus. But it is what I think of when I hear the song in Portuguese.

[P.S. - the English words, A Day in the Life of a Fool, are garbage...an embarrassment.]
