(Nana Cayammi / Gilberto Gil / Norma Tanega)

The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake
It is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful

So, alone I will stay
The daylight takes you away
So I wait 'til good night
Begins to end the daylight
The daytime, the daybreak
The dawning

Come away, until day
Come away with me my love
Come away, until day
Come away and sing the night

The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake it is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
