day the life fool frank sinatra Portuguese Black Orpheus perry como Manhã Carnaval Luiz Bonfá jazz
Description: "Manhã De Carnaval" is the Portuguese name of a popular song which appeared in the 1959 film Black Orpheus. The melody is better known in English as "A Day in the Life of a Fool" or simply "Black Orpheus". It has become a jazz standard and is performed regularly by a wide variety of musicians. The music and lyrics to "Manhã De Carnaval" were composed and written by Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Maria respectively. More than one set of English lyrics have been written to Bonfá's music. George David Weiss, Hugo Peretti, and Luigi Creatore wrote a set of lyrics under the title "Carnival." This version was recorded by Perry Como in 1963, and again, using the name "Manhã De Carnaval," and with slightly changed lyrics, three years later. Carl Sigman later wrote "A Day in the Life of a Fool" to the Bonfá melody. Sigman's version is not a translation but rather a new song on a different topic altogether. |

Reminds me of tropical beaches and drinks with umberellas........on the flip side, it reminds me of standing in the rain under a lamplight singing to oneself while watching the house of someone you love!! Terrific!! __________________________________________________ | |
