Corcovado
Seňor Coconut And His Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics to Seňor Coconut and his Orchestra's song, Corcovado, express a romantic love story between two individuals who have found happiness and solace in each other's company. The song starts with the lines, "Um cantinho e um violão, Este amor, uma canção, Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama" which mean "A little place with a guitar, This love, a song, To make happy the one you love." The singer is expressing his desire to make his love happy and to always have her close to him. The couple has found a peaceful and content way of living, giving them the chance to dream and think, "Muita calma pra pensar E ter tempo pra sonhar."

As the song progresses, the singer describes the beauty of Corcovado, a hill located in Rio de Janeiro that is famous for its statue of Christ the Redeemer. He says, "Da janela vê-se o Corcovado, O Redentor que lindo" which translates to "From the window you can see Corcovado, The Redeemer, how beautiful." The singer then expresses his desire to spend his life with his partner and for their love to keep burning until they grow old, "Quero a vida sempre assim com você perto de mim, Até o apagar da velha chama." The song ends on a note of immense happiness and gratitude, where the singer says that he has experienced what true happiness is all about ever since he met his love, "O que é felicidade meu amor, O que é felicidade."
