Lyrics

Se você disser que eu desafino amor
 Saiba que isto em mim provoca imensa dor
 Só privilegiados têm ouvido igual ao seu
 Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu
 Se você insiste em classificar
 Meu comportamento de antimusical
 Eu, mesmo mentindo devo argumentar
 Que isto é bossa nova
 Que isto é muito natural
 O que você não sabe, nem sequer pressente
 É que os desafinados também têm um coração
 Fotografei você na minha Rolleiflex
 Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidão
 Só não poderá falar assim do meu amor
 Este é o maior que você pode encontrar, viu
 Você com a sua música esqueceu o principal
 Que no peito dos desafinados
 No fundo do peito bate calado
 Que no peito dos desafinados
 Também bate um coração
 (Antonio Jobim)
 (This song is from Tony Jobim a famous brazilian singer)
 I've got two English translations of Desafinado:
 Translation 1:
 Ella Fitzgerald's version of Desafinado:
 Love is like a never-ending melody
 Always have compared it to a symphony
 A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
 But our song of love is slightly out of tune
 Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
 Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich
 Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing
 Like the bossa nova, love should swing
 We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time
 Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme
 Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon
 So what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune
 Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
 Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
 We've got to get in tune again before too long
 There'll be no desafinado
 When your heart belongs to me completely
 Then you won't be slightly out of tune
 You'll sing along with me
 > (Very jazzy, swingy, and upbeat version)
 Translation 2:
 Desafinado
 If you say my singing is off key, my love
 You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love
 I wish I had an ear like yours, a voice that would behave
 All I have is feeling and the voice God gave
 You insist my music goes against the rules
 Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
 I wrote this song for you don't care
 It's a crooked song, ah, but my heart is there
 The thing that you would see if you would play the part
 Is even if I'm out of tume I have a gentle heart
 I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex
 And now all I have developed is complex
 Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love
 And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
 A life of love and music with someone who'll understand
 That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say
 How much I love you all that matters is the message that I bring,
 Which is, my dear, I love you
