Corcovado
Astrud Gilberto Joao 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 lyrics to Corcovado by Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto, and Stan Getz are about finding love and happiness in simplicity. The first two lines set the tone for the song: āA corner and a guitar, this love, a song, to make happy the one you love.ā The singer describes a peaceful scene, where they have time to think and dream. From the window, they can see the Corcovado (a mountain in Rio de Janeiro), which they describe as beautiful. They express a desire for life to always be this way, with the person they love by their side. They end by acknowledging that they used to be sad and disillusioned with the world, but finding this love has brought them true happiness.
The lyrics evoke a sense of calm and contentedness, with simple pleasures bringing joy. The image of the Corcovado serves as a beautiful backdrop to the singerās feelings of love and happiness. The song is sung in Portuguese ā the language of Brazil, where the Corcovado is located ā which adds to the sense of place and atmosphere. The lyrics convey a romantic and intimate connection between the singer and their love interest.

A cozy spot with a guitar
Este amor, uma canĆ§Ć£o
Our love is a beautiful melody

O Redentor que lindo
The Redeemer, how beautiful
Quero a vida sempre assim com vocĆŖ perto de mim
I want my life to always be with you near me
AtƩ o apagar da velha chama
Until the old flame fades away
E eu que era triste
And I who was sad
Descrente deste mundo
Disbelieving in this world
Ao encontrar vocĆŖ eu conheci
Upon finding you, I discovered
O que Ć© felicidade meu amor
What happiness truly means, my love.
O que Ć© felicidade, o que Ć© felicidade
What happiness truly means, what happiness truly means

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 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© a 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
