"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
