The English Translation Of "Desafindo" By Antonio Carlos Jobim
Intro
When I Try To Sing You Say I'm Off Key.
Why Can't You See How Much This Hurts Me?
With Your Perfect Beauty And Your Perfect Pitch,
You're A Perfect Angel,
When I Come Around Must You Always Put Me Down?
A1 / Verse 1
If You Say My Singing Is Off Key, My Love.
You Will 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.
A2 / Verse 2
You Insist My Music Goes Against The Rules.
Yes, But Rules Were Never Made For Lovesick Fools.
I Wrote This Little Song For You, But You Don't Care.
Its A Crooked Song, Ah, But All My Heart Is There.
B / Bridge
The Thing That You Would See If You Would Do Your Part
Is, Even If I'm Out Of Tune, I Have A Gentle Heart.
I Took Your Picture With My Trusty Rolleiflex,
And Now All I Have Developed Is A Complex.
A3 / Verse 3 and Outro
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, [Outro]
All That Matters Is The Message That I Bring, Which Is My Dear One, I Love You.
