"Corcovado" (known in English as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars") is a bossa nova song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The English lyrics were written by Gene Lees. The US chart version was by Andy Wiliams.

Una bossa nova de Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim.

Lyrics/letra:

Um cantinho, um violão,
este 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 deste mundo
ao encontrar você eu conheci
o que é felicidade, meu amor.

The title refers to the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro.
