Insensatez
Astrud Gilberto/Antonio Carlos Jobim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 que nunca amou
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
The lyrics to Astrud Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim's song Insensatez depict the pain and heartbreak caused by someone's thoughtless actions in a delicate love. The singer laments the insensitivity of their lover's behavior, describing it as a heart that is careless and made their love cry in pain. The singer questions why their lover was weak and heartless to someone whose love was so fragile. They believe that a heart that has never loved doesn't deserve to be loved in return.
As the song continues, the singer advises their heart to listen to reason and use honesty. The reason reminds them that those who sow the wind will always reap the storm. The singer pleads with their heart to ask for forgiveness with passion, because those who never ask for forgiveness will never be forgiven. The song's melancholic tone echoes the sorrow and pain caused by thoughtless actions and emphasizes the importance of focusing on sincerity and emotional intelligence in relationships.
