Insensatez
Luiz Bonfá & Stan Getz Lyrics

The lyrics of Luiz Bonfá and Stan Getz's song Insensatez (also known as How Insensitive) convey a sense of heartbreak and disappointment in love. The singer addresses an unfeeling lover who has caused pain by being careless with their delicate love. The terms used to describe the lover's actions, such as "insensatez" (insensitivity) and "fraco" (weak), evoke a sense of emotional numbness and lack of empathy.

The singer's own heart, which has never loved before, feels unworthy of being loved in return. The lyrics suggest that the pain caused by the lover's actions has made the singer feel undeserving of love, and that perhaps they did not truly understand what love meant until it was lost. The chorus urges the heart to listen to reason and to seek forgiveness, with the metaphorical warning that those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the fragility of love and the power it holds to both bring joy and cause great pain.
