Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely
Um cantinho, um violao, Este amor, uma cançao, Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar, E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela, ve-se o Corcovado, O Redentor, que lindo
Quero a vida sempre assim, Com voce perto de mim, Até o apagar da velha cha- ma
E eu que era triste, Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é a felicidade, meu amor
The lyrics of Corcovado speak of the beauty and tranquility of quiet nights, where the stars and the chords of a guitar create an atmosphere of peace and serenity. The singer talks about quiet thoughts and dreams, and wandering by quiet streams, all while observing the breathtaking views from a window that overlooks the mountains and the sea. The lyrics capture a moment of pure bliss, with the singer expressing their desire for this kind of peaceful life, always with their loved one close by, until the end of their days.
The second verse of the song describes the singer's newfound happiness since finding their love. They were once sad and disillusioned with the world, but their partner has brought them happiness and a new understanding of what it means to truly be content in life. The mention of the Corcovado and the Redentor (Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro) adds a sense of beauty and spirituality to the song, capturing the essence of Brazil and its natural wonders.
Overall, Corcovado is a song about finding joy in simplicity and being content with the love in your life. It is a celebration of the natural beauty of Brazil and the peace that comes from finding happiness with someone special.

Letra:
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
Um cantinho, um violão
Esse 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
Da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é a felicidade, meu amor
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar
Da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é a felicidade, meu amor
