Insensatez
Morelenbaum 2 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 quem nunca amou
Ah, porque você foi fraco assim
Assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou
Não merece ser amado
Vai meu coração pede perdão
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 Morelenbaum2 & Ryuichi Sakamoto's song, "Insensatez" express a sense of heartbreak and betrayal. The first verse speaks of someone's thoughtless actions ("insensatez que você fez") and the resulting pain that their delicate, pure love has experienced. The second verse questions why this person was so weak and heartless, and argues that someone who has never loved does not deserve to be loved in return.
The chorus urges the heart to seek forgiveness and use honesty to repair the damage done. It warns that those who sow the wind, or act recklessly, will reap the whirlwind, or suffer the consequences of their actions. The final line reinforces the importance of seeking forgiveness in order to be forgiven oneself.
The song's lyrics were written by Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes and originally titled "Insensatez". It was first recorded by Brazilian singer Elizete Cardoso in 1961, and has since been covered by many artists, including Antonio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra. The music, which is a bossa nova standard, was composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
