(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
