Astrud Gilberto - Quiet Nights

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 voc perto de mim (With you right next to me)
at 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 voc eu conheci (I found you and then I knew)
o que 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.
