Corcovado
Antonio Carlos Jobim/JoĆ£o Gilberto/Stan Getz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh, how lovely
Um cantinho, um violĆ£o
Esse amor, uma canĆ§Ć£o
Pra fazer feliz
A quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela vĆŖ-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com vocĆŖ perto de mim
AtƩ o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar vocĆŖ eu conheci
O que Ć© felicidade, meu amor
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com vocĆŖ perto de mim
AtƩ o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar vocĆŖ eu conheci
O que Ć© a felicidade, meu amor

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
The serene atmosphere of the night, filled with stars, is perfectly complemented by the soothing melodies emanating from my guitar
Floating in the silence that surrounds us
We're enveloped in a serene cocoon of silence, which adds to the tranquility of the moment
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, Quiet walks by quiet streams, and a window
My thoughts and dreams are undisturbed by the outside world, as I take peaceful strolls by the babbling brooks and admire the scenery through the window
Looking on the mountains and the sea, How lovely! this is where I want to be
The majestic beauty of the mountains and the sea is awe-inspiring, making this the perfect place to be at the moment
Here, with you so close to me, Until the final flicker of life's ember
This is where I want to be, right next to you, until our very last breath
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
I was disillusioned by life, feeling lost and lonely, and thought it was nothing but a cruel joke. But being with you has given me a purpose and a reason to live, my beloved
