Insensatez
Astrud Gilberto & Antônio 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.

Hey, here are the lyrics!
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that he 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 the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one do when a love affair is over

"How Insensitive"
(originally by Antônio Carlos Jobim)
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely
Why he 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 he's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of hist last look
Vague, and drawn, and sad
I see it still
All his heartbreak in his last look
"Why?", he must have asked
Could I just turn
And stare in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can one do
When a love affair is over?
Over

How insensitive

When he told me that you loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely
Why he must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence

What can you say
When a love affair is over?
Now he's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of his last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All the heartbreak in his last look
How he 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?

That's because it's inspired by Chopin's Prelude in e minor :-)
