"Luiz Bonfá's song, "Manhã de Carnaval"(1959) interpreted by the beautiful guitar strings of Earl Klugh, George Benson & Chet Atkins in an instrumental version"
"This is just so damn beautiful. I could listen all day!"
"Morning, so beautiful morning
In life, a new song
Singing your eyes only
Your laughter, your hands
For there to be a day
As you grow
The strings of my guitar
Only your love sought
Comes a voice
Speaking of kisses lost
Your lips
Sing my heart
Joy returned
So happy morning
This love"
"Manhã de Carnaval" (trad. En: "Morning of Carnival"), is the title to the most popular song by Brazilian composers, Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Maria, popularized by Vinícius de Moraes. Especially in the USA, the song is considered to be one of the most important Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establish the Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s. The song is also known in the USA by the English text version titled: "A Day in the Life of a Fool," or simply as "Carnival". In France the song is also known as "La Chanson D'Orphée" ("Orpheus' song"). extract in Wikipedia.Org.

Ye gods, this is awful. To think, I used to quite like the Cranberries. Sorry Bill, but you've just ruined them for me - please refund the last 5 minutes of my life.

Nessun Dorma-Literally Nobody is Sleeping during that song. Ave Maria- Everybody is praying and then going to sleep.

An abomination.
This very unusual coupling appears on the 2002 reissue of The Cranberries much maligned 'To the Faithful Departed' which includes 'the complete sessions 1996-1997.' Check it out. O'Riordan even covers Fleetwood Mac. 
Who is this kid Pavarotti? Is he on tour with The Cranberries these days?
Any other version will do...
oh jesus... I could have lived without this for a long time.
(Thank you Luciano for finally making her shut up.)
"it's called "manhã de carnaval" only in Brazil, all around the world it's called black orpheus, probably because of the movie, my guitar teacher gave me this as a jazz standard and it was written "black orpheus (manhã de carnaval)", its the same song =)"
