Testo Desafinado (English)

If you say my singing is off key, my loveYou would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love ?I wish I had an ear like yours,A voice that would behaveAll I have is feelingAnd the voice God gaveYou insist my music goes against the rulesYes, but rules were never made for lovesick foolsI wrote this song for youBut you don't careIt's a crooked song, ah,But my heart is thereThe thing that you would see if you would play the partIs even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heartI took your picture with my trusty RolliflexAnd now all I have developed is complexPossibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my loveAnd forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream ofA life of love and music with someone who'll understandThat even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to sayHow much I love youAnd all that matters is the message that I bring,Which is: my dear one, I love you(return to top)
