About Corcovado

"Corcovado" (known in English as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars") is a bossa nova song written by Antônio Carlos Jobim in 1960. An English lyric was later written by Gene Lees. The Portuguese title refers to the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro. Andy Williams recorded the song with English lyrics, reaching #92 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #18 in the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in 1965. Also receiving air-play, contemporaneously with Andy Williams' recording of "Quiet Nights," was Kitty Kallen's version. Her album, titled "Quiet Nights," was released by 20th Century-Fox Records in 1964. more »

Quiet nights 'n quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar 
Floating on the silence that surrounds us 
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams 
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together 

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie 
Away from all the earthly cares around us 
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it 
And all at once the happiness I knew, 
Became these quiet nights of loving you! 

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie 
Away from all the earthly cares around us 
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it 
And all at once the happiness I knew, 
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
