This is a great song no matter who does it, but A C does it best ... Astrud does a nice job, and so did Bebe, but Jobim is Da MAN! for this one ...
Richard,
It seems as he, the composer, has the best feel for a song.
I had the great joy of living near there when I was ten.
Corcovado is the name of the dramatic mountain in the middle of the city of Rio de Janeiro on which the cristo redentor (Christ the redeemer) statue stands.
Corcovado means “the hunchback” in Portuguese, because that how the mountain looks like in the middle of the city.
Um cantinho, um violão
Esse amor, uma canção
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo!
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 the mountains and the sea,
oh how lovely!
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.

as they say:
Bossa nova realmente é a perfeição entre a poesia e a música brasileira
sblake,
I had the privilege of seeing that mountain and that statue on one of my trips. Dramatic it is standing as it does over the city.
This song is breathtakingly beautiful.
How wonderful to rediscover a favorite song of times past... and for times ahead, we wish you the happiest of birthdays!
ZOOLATRY,
I find favorite songs give me a feeling of comfort.
Thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes. My friends left the most beautiful mum on my steps this morning. When I opened the door, there it was in all its wonderful glory.
