Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim, words by Vinicius DeMoraes, translated by Norman Gimbel 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? 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? So 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 the heartbreak in her last look How she must have asked, Could I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to do? What can one do When a love affair is over?
