Corcovado [Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars] Song Facts
Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) is a Bossa Nova classic written in 1960 by Antônio Carlos Jobim. The most-popular version of Corcovado [Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars] is the 1963 collaboration with singer/guitarist Joao Gilberto and American jazz musician Stan Getz on the album Getz/Gilberto. Jobim played the piano on Corcovado [Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars] while Gilberto's then-wife Astrud Gilberto performed the vocals in English while he sang in Portuguese.

The Portuguese title {'Corcovado'} refers to the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro. The first popular English cover of "Quiet Nights" (with new lyrics by Buddy Kaye ) was recorded by Tony Bennet in 1963. Numerous English cover recordings then followed sometimes credited to Lees and/or Kaye and Lees, including the Andy Williams recording of the song with English lyrics.

Both Frank Sinatra and Astrud GIlberto would later perform 'Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars' (an all English Lyrics version of 'Corcovado')

Astrud Gilberto sang on two tracks on the influential 1963 album Getz/Gilberto featuring João Gilberto, Stan Getz, and Antônio Carlos Jobim, despite having never sung professionally before this recording. The 1964 single version of "The Girl from Ipanema", taken from the 1963 album, omitted the Portuguese lyrics sung by João Gilberto, and established Astrud Gilberto as a Bossa Nova singer.

'Corcovado' {'Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars'} Lyrics
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 Corcovado
Oh, how lovely
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
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é felicidade, meu amor
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é a felicidade, meu amor

Paluzzi Guitar
The objective of the Paluzzi Guitar video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established.

The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more videos, information on private lessons, and books, go to:
