Quiet Nights

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 cantihno, Um violгo (A sweet song, a guitar)
Este amor, Uma canзгo (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 vк-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 vocй perto de mim (With you right next to me) 
atй 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 vocк eu conheci (I found you and then I knew) 
o que й felicidade, meu amor (what happiness is, my love )
