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
The song "Corcovado" by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, and JoĆ£o Gilberto is a blend of romantic lyrics and soft guitar chords. The opening lines of "Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar" set the serene and tranquil tone of the song, which is complemented by the gentle instrumental arrangement. The lyrics talk about the beauty of quiet thoughts, dreams, and walks by the streams that lead to the titular Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The mountain, also known as the Hunchback, is famous for the Cristo Redentor statue that overlooks the city. The view of Corcovado from an apartment window is depicted as a symbol of life's simplicity and the value of true love.
The second verse introduces the image of a small nook with a guitar, love, and a song that brings happiness to those who love. The emphasis is on the calmness required to ponder and dream, and the time that love and music can give someone to heal and feel whole. The singer expresses his wish to have a life always near his love, even if the flame of passion fades away in time. The song takes a romantic turn with the lines "And I, who was sad and hopeless about the world, upon finding you, I came to know what happiness is, my love." The singer expresses his gratitude for finding true love.
Overall, Corcovado is a celebration of love, nature, and harmony that fills the heart with peace and joy.
