(A.C. Jobim, N. Gimbel V. De Moraes)

[Recorded Febrary 1, 1967, Hollywood]



How insensitive I must have seemed when she told me that she 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 alone with a mem'ry of her last look

Vague and drawn and sad I see it still, all her heartbreak in that last look



[in Portuguese:]

Ah, porque vocy foi fraco assim

Assim tao desalmado



What was I to do? What can one do when a love affair is over?
