Manhã de Carnaval Lyrics

music by Luiz Bonfa (1922-2001)
lyrics by Antonio Maria Araujo de Morais (1921-1964)

Ladi, lalala, lalala, ladi lalala, lalala.
Ladalalala, ladadadidada, ladadidada, ladadadi.
Ladi ladala lalala, ladi ladada dadada
Lada lalala, laladadada, lalala ladilala.

Manha tao bonita manha
De um dia feliz que chegou
O sol no ceu surgiu
E em cada cor brilhou
Voltou o sonho entao
Ao coracao

Depois desse dia feliz
Nao sei se outro dia vira
E nossa manha
Tao bela afinal manha
De carnaval

Canta o meu coracao
alegria voltou, tao feliz
a manha deste amor

Ladi, lalala, lalala, ladi lalala, lalala.
Ladalalala, ladadadidada, ladadidada, ladadadi.
Ladi ladala lalala, ladi ladada dadada
Lada lalala, laladadada, lalala ladilala.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I still can not believe that this lyrical piece is anticipation of a carnival and Brazilian one, too. It is dreamy and for me it is the signature tune for the musical program at radio Liberty, the Russian service.

Canta o meu coracao alegria voltou, tao feliz a manha deste amor

My heart sings joy again, so happy the trick of love

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!
