A insensatez                                      The foolishness
Que você fez                                     that you did
coração mais sem cuidado                 sincerely but carelessly
 
Fez chorar de dor                              It did cry of pain
o seu amor         its love
um amor tão delicado                         a love so delicate
 
Ah porque você                                 Ah, because of you
foi fraco assim                                    it was weak like this
assim tão desalmado                          like this so without soul
 
Ah, meu coração                                Ah, my heart
quem nunca amou                               that never loved
não merece ser amado                        it does not deserve to be loved
 
Vai meu coração                                 Go my heart
ouve a razão                                         hear reason
usa só sinceridade                                 use only sincerity
 
Quem semeia vento,                            Those who sow the wind,
diz a razão,                                          logic dictates,
colhe sempre tempestade                     always harvest storms

 
Vai meu coração                                   Go my heart
pede perdão                                          ask for forgiveness
perdão apaixonado                                 passionate forgiveness
 
Vai porque quem não                            Go because those who don't
pede perdão                                          ask for forgiveness
não é nunca perdoado                            are never forgiven

                                                                   How Insensitive
 

                    English lyrics by Gene Lees

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she 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 a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
How, she must have asked
Could I just turn and stare and icy silence
What was I to do
What can you do
When a love affair is over
