Desafinado

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 kiss has raised me to a fever pitch

And now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich

It seems to me you changed the tune we sing

Like a bossa nova love should swing

We used to harmonise, two souls in perfect time

But now the song is different

And the words don't even rhyme

'cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always groove

And what good is a heart that is slightly out of tune?

Tune your heat to mine, the way it used to be

Join with me in harmony

And sing a song of loving

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

Like a bossa nova love should swing

We used to harmonise, two souls in perfect time

But now the song is different

And the words don't even rhyme

'cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always groove

And what good is a heart that is slightly out of tune?

Tune your heat to mine, the way it used to be

Join with me in harmony

And sing a song of loving

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
