Corcovado (Corcovado Mountain) Music and Lyrics by Antonio Carlos Jobim (translated by H.A. Rumann)

 
                          Corcovado-Rio
 
 
 

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 violão              A sweet song, a guitar Este amor, Uma canção                       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 vê-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 você eu conheci                    I found you and then I knew o que é felicidade, meu amor                          what happiness is, my love     -
