Astrud Gilberto - Manhã de Carnaval

Astrud Gilberto

"Manhã de Carnaval" ("Carnival Morning"), often referred to as "Black Orpheus", is a song by Brazilian composer Luiz Bonfá and lyricist Antonio Maria. 

"Manhã de Carnaval" appeared as a principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese-language film Orfeu Negro by French director Marcel Camus. The film's soundtrack also included songs by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, as well as the composition by Bonfá "Samba de Orfeu". "Manhã de Carnaval" appears in the film, including versions sung or hummed by both the principal characters (Orfeu and Euridice).

"Manhã de Carnaval" became one of the first Bossa Nova compositions to gain popularity outside Brazil.

Astrud Gilberto (born Astrud Evangelina Weinert; March 29, 1940 – June 5, 2023) was a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer and songwriter. She gained international attention in the mid-1960s following her recording of the song "The Girl from Ipanema".

Manhã de Carnaval

humming ... 

Manhã tão bonita manhã,

De um dia feliz que chegou,

O sol no céu surgiu,

E em cada cor brilhou.

Voltou o sonho então,

Ao coração.

Depois deste dia feliz,

Não sei se outro dia haverá,

É nossa manhã tão bela afinal.

Manhã de carnaval.
