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
