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 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) 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.
