歌词
[Verse 1]
Most of the songs that we've been doin' for you this evening
Ladies and gentlemen
Uh, are from basically from the, from United States
But this is, uh, a concert of all the Americas
And I'd like to do a song, uh, such a song from Latin America
From Brazil to be, to be, uh, more blunt
It was written by my dear friend Antônio Carlos Jobim
And arranged by Tony himself
[Verse 2]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from the guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
[Verse 3]
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walls by quiet streams
And a window looking on the mountains and the sea
How lovely
[Verse 4]
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found in you
The meaning of existence
Oh, my love
[Verse 7]
Quiet nights and quiet stars
Chords, quiet nights
[Verse 8]
Mr. Tony Mottola
And Sonny Russo on the trombone
Stand up, fellas
[Verse 9]
I think Antônio Carlos Jobim
Is one of the most talented musicians I've ever known in my life
He is really a talented and fortunate man, and a nice man too
I wish he'd come out of retirement and then write some more music
I, I can't find him, he's hiding in the mountains someplace
Well, I guess this the only thing around
So, I, oh, it's water, oh, oh, it's terrible
That's for your garden
