Corcovado Lyrics
Elis Regina
Um cantinho, um violao
Esse amor, uma cancao
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela v-se o Corcovado,
O Redentor, que lindo!
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com voc perto de mim
At o apagar da velha chama
E eu que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar voc eu conheci
O que felicidade, meu amor
