"Quiet Nights" lyrics - ASTRUD GILBERTO
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 violao
Esse 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 chama
E eu que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar voce eu conheci
O que e 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
