(by Antonio Carlos Jobim. English translation 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
Now she’s gone away And I’m alone with the memory of her last look Vague and drawn and sad I see it still All her heartbreak in that 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...
