About How Insensitive

"How Insensitive" is a bossa nova song composed by Brazilian musician Antônio Carlos Jobim. The lyrics were written in Portuguese by Vinícius de Moraes and in English by Norman Gimbel. In Brazil the song goes by the title "Insensatez", though it translates more accurately to "How Foolish". The song resembles Chopin's prelude in E minor. The song has been performed and recorded often by a diverse group of people, such as Olivia Newton-John, Petula Clark, The Monkees, Liberace, William Shatner, Iggy Pop, Judy Garland and The 5th Dimension. More conventional versions can be found in the jazz genre by Joao Gilberto, Laurindo Almeida, Wes Montgomery, Stan Getz, George Shearing, Diana Krall, and Pat Metheny. more »

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over

Now she's gone away
And I'm all alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still

All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just stare in icy silence
What was I to do

What can one do when a love affair is over
