"Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars)" Lyrics

(Antonio Carlos Jobim) adaptation anglaise Eugene Lees

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 looking
On the mountains and the sea, how lovely

This is where I wanna be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker
Of lights' ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found with you
Oh,my dear
The meaning of existance
Oh my love

This is where I wanna be
Hear with you so close to me
Until the final flicker
Of lights' ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found with you
Oh,my dear
The meaning of existance
The meaning of existance
The meaning of existance
Oh my love
