Desafinado Lyrics in English Gal Costa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desafinado by Gal Costa from Portuguese to English.
Se você disser que eu desafino amor
If you say I'm off-key, my love
Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dor
Know that it causes me immense pain
Só privilegiados têm ouvido igual ao seu
Only the privileged have an ear like yours
Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu
I only have what God gave me
Se você insiste em classificar
If you insist on classifying
Meu comportamento de anti-musical
My behavior as anti-musical
Eu mesmo mentindo devo argumentar
Even if I'm lying, I must argue
Que isso é bossa-nova, isso é muito natural
That this is bossa nova, this is very natural
O que você não sabe nem sequer pressente
What you don't know, or even suspect
É que os desafinados também têm um coração
Is that off-key people also have a heart
Fotografei você na minha Rolleiflex
I took your picture with my Rolleiflex
Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidão
It revealed your huge ingratitude
Só não poderá falar assim do meu amor
You just can't talk like that about my love
Ele é o maior que você pode encontrar, viu
It's the greatest you can find, you know
Você com sua música esqueceu o principal
You, with your music, forgot the main thing
Que no peito dos desafinados
That in the chest of the off-key
No fundo do peito bate calado
Deep in the chest, it beats silently
Que no peito dos desafinados
That in the chest of the off-key
Também bate um coração
A heart beats too
