Amor Ingrato
Released Single
Amor Ingrato
A song about two long-time lovers whose relationship doesn't survive the erosion of time and the hardships life brings.
Lyrics
Debaixo dos meus pés fugiu-me o chão
É grande o sopro do coração
Jóias não pagam lealdade
Nem fazem esquecer a crueldade
Under my feet the floor escaped
It is big the heart murmur
Jewels don't pay for loyalty
Nor do they make forget cruelty
O nosso amor era um rochedo
Que o mar erodiu sem medo
Se eu soubesse de tal ironia
No teu encanto eu nunca cairía
Our love was a boulder
the ocean eroded fearlessly
If I had known of such irony
In your enchantment, I wouldn't have fallen
Se os céus alguma vez falaram,
Para nós sempre calaram
If the Heavens ever spoke
For us, they were always silent.
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Homens pintam-na como louca
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Somo os anjos com sangue na boca
Oh like in a Baroque painting
Men paint her insane
Oh like in a Baroque painting
We are angels with blood in our mouths
De joelhos em vidro partido
Não me encontras pois não estou perdido
Viraste a minha pele do avesso
Tenho o meu coração em gesso
Kneeling on broken glass
You won't find me for I'm not lost
You turn my skin upside down
My heart is covered in plaster
O nosso amor ficou azedo
De viver com calos nos dedos
Se a razão te trouxer alguma paz
Seja que esta vida não me satisfaz
Our love turned bitter
from living with calluses in our fingers
If reason brings you some peace
be it that this life doesn't satisfy me
Se os céus alguma vez falaram,
Para nós sempre calaram
If the Heavens ever spoke
For us, they were always silent.
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Homens pintam-na como louca
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Somo os anjos com sangue na boca
Oh like in a Baroque painting
Men paint her insane
Oh like in a Baroque painting
We are angels with blood in our mouths
Se não arde na pele é milagre
É amor com tempero a vinagre
Vai-te ó Deus omnipresente
Só admiro quem já não é crente
If it doesn’t burn in the skin it’s a miracle
It’s love seasoned with vinegar
Go, oh omnipresent God
I only admire the unbelieving
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Homens pintam-na como louca
Ó como numa pintura Barroca
Somo os anjos com sangue na boca
Oh like in a Baroque painting
Men paint her insane
Oh like in a Baroque painting
We are angels with blood in our mouths
Recording the music
I recorded my first single with the help of Rohini Maiti and her chord progression and guitar skills. We recorded at the RCAD Motion Design audio suit, ran by Kelly Warner, who is a genius in music production and sound design himself. Without them, this project wouldn’t have happened.
Music Video Coming Soon!
As part of my senior thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design, I directed, produced, edited, animated, and
composited the music video for the song "Amor Ingrato."
The music video will be published very soon!
