Lyrics Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) - Astrud Gilberto

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 that looks out on Corcovado
Oh, how lovely

Quero a vida sempre assim (I want life to always be like this.)
Com vocé perto de mim (With you right next to me)
Até o apagar da velha chama. (′till the love ends.)

E eu que era triste (And I who was sad)
Descrente deste mundo (Having lost faith in this world)
Ao encontra você eu conheci (I found you and then I knew)
O que é felicidade, meu amor (what happiness is, my love)

This is where I want to be
Here with you so 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.
