Antonio Carlos Jobim/Luis Bonfa
"BLACK ORPHEUS" (Soundtrack) (Fontana, 1959)
and Europe. The soundtrack to
the winner of the 1959 Cannes Festival, this record also put Jobim in the
global spotlight. Although the album is largely made up of samba de enredo
percussive tracks, Jobim's non-Joao Gilberto bossa and Luis Bonfa's acoustic
guitar work made quite a splash. Internationally, Bonfa's "Manha de Carnaval"
was an big hit, and although the bossa nova sound is still a little unformed
here, it makes for lovely listening.

Manhã tão bonita manhã
Morning, such a beautiful morning
Na vida uma nova canção
In life there is a new song
Cantando só teus olhos,
It sings only of your eyes,
teu riso, e tuas mãos
your smile, and your hands
Pois há de haver um dia
Then there will be a day
em que virás
when you will see
Das cordas do meu violão
From the chords of my guitar
que só teu amor procurou
that seeked only your love
Vem uma voz
There comes a voice
falar dos beijos
to speak of the kisses
perdidos nos lábios teus
lost in your lips
Canta o meu coração
My heart sings
alegria voltou, tão feliz
joy came back, so happy
a manhã deste amor
the morning of this love
