Astrud Gilberto Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)

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 cantihno, Um violao (A sweet song, a guitar)

Este amor, Uma cancao (This love, A song)

P'ra fazer feliz a quem se ama (To make happy whom is loved.)



Muita calma p'ra pensar (Much calm to think)

E ter tempo p'ra sonhar (And have time to dream)

Da janela ve-se o Corcovado (From the window, Corcovado can be seen)

O Redentor, que lindo! (The Redeemer, how beautifull!)



Quero a vida sempre assim (I want life to always be like this.)

Com vocé perto de mim (With you right next to me)

até o apagar da velha chama. ('till the love ends.)



E eu que era triste (And I who was sad)

Descrente deste mundo (Having lost faith in this world)

Ao encontra voce eu conheci (I found you and then I knew)

o que é felicidade, meu amor (what happiness is, my love )
