Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Corcovado by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Um cantinho e um violão
A corner and a guitar
Esse amor, uma canção
This love, a song
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
To make happy to those who love
Muita calma pra pensar
Very calm to think
E ter tempo pra sonhar
And have time to dream
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado
From the window you see the Corcovado
O Redentor que lindo
The Redeemer how beautiful
Quero a vida sempre assim com você perto de mim
I always want life like this with you near me
Até o apagar da velha chama
Until the old flame erases
E eu que era triste
And I was sad
Descrente desse mundo
Disbelief of this world
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
Upon finding you I met
O que é felicidade, meu amor
What is happiness, my love
E eu que era triste
And I was sad
Descrente deste mundo
Disbelief of this world
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
Upon finding you I met
O que é felicidade, meu amor
What is happiness, my love
