I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm extremely lucky,

'cause I found the original soundtrack vinyl album for only 1 euro 75 cents!!

I went home played it and LOVED it!!

Now I really want a copy of this movie!

Thank you very much for sharing!

Love & respect from a Dutch musiclover!

@WorldCitizen667. The film was released in the UK a couple of years or so ago on DVD and I was given it for my birthday. It was £10 in HMV shop. In fact I saw it at the cinema about 55 years ago in London and always wanted to get the music, now I have it. The film was very enjoyable but sad.

@mortdk Thinking I owe you many thanks for your comments! I'm very grateful, and really pleased that you enjoyed this. The Portuguese lyrics are so simple, yet so meaningful. Sorry for any delay in my responses, but I was unable to use my computer for some time. I was away from my home town, and am trying to catch up on some older messages. Everything you've sent me has been so gracious! Again, thank you so much!

I've just watched the movie - and I'm speechless. What a fantastic movie it is! Way better than most modern movies. It's hard to believe that it's more than 50 years old ... :-)

A felicidade do probre parece

A grande ilusão do carnaval

[vachtamer]

A felicidade do pobre parece A grande ilusão do carnaval A gente trabalha o ano inteiro Por um momento de sonho Pra fazer a fantasia De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira Pra tudo se acabar na quarta feira Tristeza não tem fim Felicidade sim A felicidade é como a pluma Que o vento vai levando pelo ar Voa tão leve Mas tem a vida breve Precisa que haja vento sem parar

[vachtamer]

Tristeza não tem fim

Felicidade sim

A felicidade é como a gota

De orvalho numa pétala de flor

Brilha tranquila

Depois de leve oscila

E cai como uma lágrima de amor

@varadero1839
