All versions of foreign texts were written by lyricists other than AntГґnio Maria, using BonfГЎ's original music. In France, the song is also known as 'La Chanson d'OrphГ©e'. In the U.S., the song is also known as 'A Day in the Life of a Fool', 'Carnival', 'Theme from Black Orpheus', or simply 'Black Orpheus'. 'ManhГЈ de Carnaval' has become a jazz standard in the U.S., while it is still performed regularly by a wide variety of musicians around the world in its vocalized version or just as an instrumental one. Particularly in the United States, 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. 'ManhГЈ de Carnaval'' became one of the first Bossa Nova compositions to gain popularity outside Brazil. Orfeu Negro was an international success (winning, for example, an Academy Award in 1960), and brought the song to a large audience. The song was initially rejected for inclusion in the film by Camus, but BonfГЎ was able to convince the director that the music for ManhГЈ de Carnaval was superior to the song BonfГЎ composed as a replacement. In the portion of the film in which the song is sung by the character Orfeu, portrayed by Breno Mello, the song was dubbed by Agostinho dos Santos. 'ManhГЈ de Carnaval' appears in the film, including versions sung or hummed by both the principal characters (Orfeu and Euridice), as well as an instrumental version, so that the song has been described as the main musical theme of the film. The film's soundtrack also included songs by AntГґnio Carlos Jobim and VinГcius de Moraes, as well as the composition by BonfГЎ 'Samba de Orfeu'. 'ManhГЈ de Carnaval' appeared as a principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese-language film Orfeu Negro by French director Marcel Camus. ' ManhГЈ de Carnaval' ('Carnival Morning') is a song by Brazilian composer Luiz BonfГЎ and lyricist AntГґnio Maria.
