Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars - Corcovado lyrics

Quiet nights of quiet stars,

Quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence

That surrounds us.

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,

Quiet walks by quiet streams,

And a window looking on the mountains

And the sea! How lovely!

This is where I want to be,

Here with you close to me

Until the final flicker

Of life's ember.

I, who was lost and lonely,

Believing life was only

A bitter, tragic joke;

Have found with you

The meaning of existence,

Oh, my love!

Um cantinho, um violão

Este amor, uma canção

Pra fazer feliz

A quem se ama

Muita calma pra pensar

E ter tempo pra sonhar

Da janela vê-se o Corcovado

O Redentor, que lindo!

Quero a vida sempre assim

Com você perto de mim

Até o apagar

A velha chama

E eu que era triste,

Descrente deste mundo,

Ao encontrar você eu conheci

O que é felicidade, meu amor!

Quiet nights of quiet stars,

Quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence

That surrounds us.

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,

Quiet walks by quiet streams,

And a window looking on the mountains

And the sea! How lovely!

This is where I want to be,

Here with you close to me

Until the final flicker

Of life's ember.

I, who was lost and lonely,

Believing life was only

A bitter, tragic joke;

Have found with you

The meaning of existence,

Oh, my love!
