Hello everybody,

first off: Sorry for this really Off-Topic request but I'm really despaired.
Everytime I listen to Celia Cruz's Song the melody of the first verse reminds me of another song, but I can't remind which:
YouTube - La Vida Es Un Carnaval - Celia Cruz

I think it must be an older song, much slower, maybe in the direction of Cat Stevens' style. Well known also I think.

Would be really great if somebody could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
