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 the window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely

Um cantinho, um violao, Este amor, uma cançao, Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama  
Muita calma pra pensar, E ter tempo pra sonhar  
Da janela, ve-se o Corcovado, O Redentor, que lindo  

Quero a vida sempre assim, Com voce perto de mim, Até o apagar da velha cha-  ma  
E eu que era triste, Descrente desse mundo  
Ao encontrar você eu conheci             
O que é a felicidade, meu amor
