How Insensitive
"Insensatez" (usually translated to "How Insensitive" in English, although the Portuguese word really means 'absurdity' or 'folly') is a bossa nova jazz standard composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, loosely based on Frédéric Chopin's Prelude No.4 with lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes. The English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel.

Lyrics
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 memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Ah, porque vocy foi fraco assim
Assim tao desalmado
What was I to do? What can one do
When a love affair is over?
