Corcovado
Getz Gilberto Jobim 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,
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
The opening of Getz Gilberto Jobim's song Corcovado evokes a sense of tranquillity and peace, with the repetition of the word 'quiet' creating a calm atmosphere. The singer describes the scene of 'quiet nights' and 'quiet stars', accompanied only by the 'quiet chords' of a guitar. The quietness extends to the thoughts and dreams of the singer, as well as the walks they take by 'quiet streams'. Looking out of a window onto the mountains and sea, the singer expresses contentment with their present situation, stating that this is where they want to be with the person they are with. The final lines of the verse are particularly poignant, with the singer asserting that they have found the 'meaning of existence' with their partner, after having previously felt 'lost and lonely' and believing that life was a 'bitter tragic joke'.

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
The peacefulness of the night and the gentle sound of my guitar chords are magnified by the stillness that surrounds us
Floating in the silence that surrounds us
We are surrounded by a calming silence that allows us to float freely in our thoughts
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams,
Our thoughts are serene and our dreams are tranquil
Quiet walks by quiet streams, and a window
Our walks by streams are peaceful and we occasionally rest at a window to admire the view
Looking on the mountains and the sea
We gaze at the majesty of the mountains and the vastness of the sea
How lovely! this is where I want to be
We both agree that this is the ideal place for us to be in
Here, with you so close to me,
Being near you is a privilege I do not take for granted because of the bond we share
Untill the final flicker of lifes ember
We will remain together until the end of our lives
I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only
Before meeting you, I felt aimless and unequipped the harsh realities of life
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
But since I met you, I now understand that life's hardships can be overcome with love
The meaning of existence oh, my love
You have given my life purpose and imbued every moment with meaning, my dear love

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
