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
La la la la…
MANHA DE CARNAVAL (English Translation)
Morning, such a nice morning
Of a happy day that has begun!
The sun has risen into the sky
And shone in every heart.
Then dreams have returned
To the heart.
After this happy day,
I don't know if another day will come,
And our tomorrow,
After all such a beautiful tomorrow
Of carnival.
My heart sings.
Joy has returned. So happy
The morning of this love!
Morning, such a nice morning!
In life there's a new song,
Singing only of your eyes,
Your smile and your hands,
For there has to be a day
When you come.
From the strings of my violin,
Which seek only your love,
Comes a voice to speak
Of the kisses lost
In your lips.
My heart sings.
Joy has returned. So happy
The morning of this love!
