Quiet Nights
Astrid Gilberto/Stan Getz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating in 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 so close to me, untill the final flicker of lifes ember.
I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
The song "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars," also known as "Corcovado," was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1960. It was later translated into English by Gene Lees and became a hit for Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto and American saxophonist Stan Getz. The lyrics describe a peaceful evening spent with a loved one, with quiet thoughts, dreams, walks by streams, and a picturesque view of the mountains and sea. The singer expresses their gratefulness for finding love and the meaning of existence through this special person, after feeling lost and lonely in life.
The song is known for its tranquil melody and relaxing ambiance, which has made it a popular choice for romantic settings or background music. It has been covered by many other artists throughout the years, including Frank Sinatra and Diana Krall. "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" has become a classic jazz standard and a representation of the bossa nova style, which fused samba rhythms with jazz harmonies.

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar

The peaceful state of our surroundings is enveloping us, making us experience a sense of weightlessness
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.
This moment and place are perfect, and I could not imagine anywhere else I would rather be right now.
Here, with you so close to me, untill the final flicker of lifes ember.
I want to be here with you, sharing this moment until the end of our time on this earth
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.
Before I met you, I was living in a world of loneliness, thinking that life was nothing more than a bleak existence. But now that I have you, my love, I have found the true purpose and joy of living.

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
