Manhã De Carnaval
Astrud Gilberto feat. Luiz Bonfa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na vida uma nova canção
Cantando só teus olhos
Teu riso tuas mãos
Coisa de haver um dia
Em que virá
Das cordas do meu violão
Vem uma voz, falar dos beijos perdidos
Aos lábios teus
Lalaia raraia
Lalaia raraia
Lalaia laraia
Lalala uhm uhm
Uhm uhm
The lyrics of Astrud Gilberto feat. Luiz Bonfa's song Manhã De Carnaval depict a beautiful morning where a new song is being sung in life, and the only things being sung about are your eyes, your laughter, and your hands. The lyrics suggest the anticipation of a day when, through the strings of one's guitar, comes forth a voice speaking of lost kisses to your lips. The song is filled with a sense of longing and the anticipation of something beautiful happening soon, perhaps in the form of an arrival.
The lyrics express a deep emotional connection that one has with their loved one, as they describe how their guitar only seeks the love of their significant other, and how the only solace and comfort comes from them. The "lalaia raraia" chorus suggests an almost ethereal meaning, as though the words are beyond a typical human comprehension. There seems to be an otherworldly element of love that is being conveyed, one that is purely felt and experienced, as opposed to simply verbalized or understood cognitively.

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

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!

This whispery, haunting, breathy version is the best. One of the best melodies ever written.
