The video was shot at Waldameer Amusement Park in Erie, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2006, and stars my lovely children.
Manhã de Carnaval
Morning of the Carnaval
Luis Bonfa& Antonio Maria
English lyrics by Paul Sonnenberg
The dawn of this beautiful day
Has brought me a new song to play
A song about your eyes
Your hands, your laugh, your smile
Sung in the hope that I
Might draw you near
The chords from my lonely guitar
Have called you to me from afar
This voice soft and low
Wants only to know
Your kiss
The touch of your lips
Hear the song of my heart
Full of joy at the start
Of this first happy day of our love! Less
