"Madrugada" ("Dawn") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, performed in Portuguese by Duarte Mendes. The song is a moderately up-tempo number, describing the joy felt in Portugal at the success of the Carnation Revolution of the year before, in which Mendes participated - which had been initiated by the playing of Portugal's previous Contest entry on the radio. Mendes describes the overthrow of the Estado Novo regime as being like a "rebirth" and a "dawn" for his country, and sings that "there can't be enough songs like this".
