Insensatez
Stan Getz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 que 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stan Getz's song Insensatez describe the pain and heartache caused by thoughtlessness and a lack of care in a relationship. The opening line, "A insensatez que você fez" ("The thoughtlessness that you did") sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer laments how this behavior has left their heart without care and caused them to cry in pain. The love that was once delicate and beautiful has been ruined.


The second verse uses strong language to describe the weakness and soullessness of the person who caused this heartbreak. The singer questions why they were so cruel and wonders why their own heart has never known love. The final verse urges the heart to listen to reason and act with sincerity. It warns that those who sow the wind will always reap the whirlwind. The singer then asks for forgiveness with a passionate plea for forgiveness, declaring that those who do not ask for it will never receive it.
