Translation

Out of tune

If you tell me that I'm out of tune, darling

You should know that it causes me great pain

Only privileged people have hearing like yours

And I have only the one God gave me

If you insist on labeling

My performance as unmusical

Even if I lied I should argue that:

This is Bossa Nova, This is very natural

What you don't know, nor can you foresee

Is that those who sing out of tune do also have a heart

I photographed you with my Rolleiflex

It exposed your great ingratitude

You just can’t talk this way about my love

It is the greatest that you can find

You, with you music, forgot the essential:

In the chest of those who sing out of tune

Deep inside, it softly beats

In the chest of those who sing out of tune

A heart is beating as well.

Thanks! ❤
