My translation of this song from Black Orpheus. I've posted the first half of this before... Since on my CD these songs were together, I thought I'd make a new version with new footage for the 'Retrato' instrumental. Video by Paul from source material by Yasuo Ohba. Instrumental track of 'O Nosso Amor' adapted from the Black Orpheus soundtrack..
I hopes you like it.
