Corcovado
Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz Featuring Antonio Carlos 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 lyrics of Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz Featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim's song Corcovado describe a peaceful and serene atmosphere that surrounds the singer and his lover.

Through the use of quiet and tranquil imagery, the singer emphasizes the peacefulness and intimacy of his relationship, free from the chaos and disorder of the outside world. By finding love, the singer has found the "meaning of existence" and a purpose in his life that he once believed was "only a bitter tragic joke."
The lyrics of Corcovado reflect the romanticism and simplicity of the Brazilian musical style known as Bossa Nova. Along with the smooth and relaxed rhythm of the guitar, the song's lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time and a longing for a peaceful and harmonious existence.

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
The peaceful night is full of silence and tranquility, accompanied by mellow melodies from my guitar
Floating in the silence that surrounds us
We are enjoying the calmness and stillness that envelops us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Our minds are at peace, filled with serene thoughts and dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams, and a window
We take leisurely walks along peaceful streams and sometimes simply observe the outside world from a window
Looking on the mountains and the sea
We gaze upon the vastness of the scenic mountains and the sea
How lovely! this is where I want to be
This place is so beautiful and enchanting, I wish to spend my life here
Here, with you so close to me,
Being with you, so near to me, completes my happiness
Until the final flicker of life's ember
Our love will last until the very end of our lifetime
I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only
I was once long-lost and alone, thinking that life was pointless
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
But now, I have discovered the sweet, profound meaning of my life by being with you
The meaning of existence oh, my love
My love, you are the one who gives purpose and significance to my life

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
