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 the window that looks out on Corcovado, oh how lovely
Um cantinho, um violao,
Este amor, uma cancao,
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar,
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela, ve-se o Corcovado,
O Redentor, que lindo
Quero a vida sempre assim,
Com voce perto de mim,
Ate o apagar da
velha cha- ma
E eu que era triste,
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar voce eu conheci
O que e a felicidade, meu amor
This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.
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
