Am transcribing lyrics for Sinatra's "How Insensitive" for my pal Todd
to post to this web site. Ran into a problem. The music was written by
Antonio Carlos Jobim and, even though Norman Gimbel supplied all the
English lyrics, there are still a few words in Portuguese that I do not
understand. I'd like to send a wav file of those lines to a Portuguese
speaker for some help. Volunteers? Thanks.

How insensitive
Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes / Norman Gimbel

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why? She must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say
What can you say
When a love affair is over
Now she's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
How, she must have asked
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can you do
When a love affair is over

Insensatez


Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes

A insensatez que você fez
Coração mais sem cuidado
Fez chorar de dor
O seu amor
Um amor tão delicado
Ah, porque você foi fraco assim
Assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou
Não merece ser amado

Vai meu coração ouve a razão
Usa só sinceridade
Quem semeia vento, diz a razão
Colhe sempre tempestade
Vai, meu coração pede perdão
Perdão apaixonado
Vai porque quem não
Pede perdão
Não é nunca perdoado
