DESAFINADO

(Slightly Out Of Tune)

English Words by Jon Hendricks & Jessie Cavanaugh

Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

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 kisses raised me to a fever pitch

Now the orchestration doesn’t seem to rich

Seem to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing

Like the bossanova love should swing               

We used to  harmonize two souls in perfect time

Now the song is differ’nt and the words don’t even rhyme

‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon

And what good’s a heart that’s Slightly Out Of Tune

Tune your heart 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 no Desafinado, when you heart belongs to me completely

Then you won’t be Slightly Out Of Tune

You’ll sing along with me.
