Desafinado [Slightly Out of Tune]
Love is like a never ending melody
Poets 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
What good's a heart that's
Slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the
Way it used to be
Join with me in harmony and
Sing a song of love
We're bound 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!
