Se você disser que eu desafino, amor Saiba que isso 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 Rolleyflex Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidão Só não poderá falar assim do meu amor Ele 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 No peito dos desafinados Também bate um coração
