Stan Getz & João Gilberto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 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
In "Corcovado," Stan Getz and João Gilberto describe a quiet and peaceful night that is almost meditative, with only the sound of the guitar strings breaking the silence. The lyrics paint a picture of a serene and idyllic love affair that brings happiness and contentment to the singer’s life. The chorus repeats the desire to live life in this way, with the person the singer loves close by, until the end of their days.
The singer describes a love that brings them happiness and helps them see the beauty in the world around them. Before they found their love, they were sad and disheartened by the world. But once they met their love, they discovered what happiness truly meant. The song mirrors the calming feeling of gazing upon the Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's most legendary landmarks. It serves as a backdrop for the singer's romantic idealism and the pure bliss they experience in moments of intimacy.
The lyrics of "Corcovado" speak to the listener's urge to find peace and contentment in their daily lives. The song is a timeless classic and stands as an emblem of Brazilian popular music's enduring legacy. The Bossa Nova sound and style that Getz and Gilberto popularized in the 1960s continue to influence contemporary musicians worldwide.

Quiet nights of quiet stars
The peaceful and serene nights under starry skies
Quiet chords from my guitar
Soft, soothing music from my guitar
Floating on the silence
Drifting away on the calm and stillness around us
That surrounds us
Creates an embrace of tranquility
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Gentle musings and peaceful aspirations
Quiet walks by quiet streams
Calm strolls alongside quiet streams
And a window that looks out
Looking out from the window
On Corcovado
Onto the beautiful view of Corcovado Mountain in Brazil
Oh, how lovely
Exclaims the gorgeousness of the scenery
Um cantinho, um violão
A corner and a guitar
Esse amor, uma canção

O Redentor, que lindo
The Redeemer, how beautiful
Quero a vida sempre assim
I want life always like this
Com você perto de mim
With you near me
Até o apagar da velha chama
Until the flame finally goes out
E eu, que era triste
And I, who was sad
Descrente desse mundo
Unbelieving in this world
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
Upon finding you, I learned
O que é felicidade, meu amor
What happiness truly is, my love
