about
Tesão (Desire), the chosen track for the kick-off of the album, carries Aquafaba’s sonic insignia: a mixture of Tropicalismo and Jazz, with vocals entirely in Portuguese that sing about life’s desires, both “symbolic and carnal.” The song has an avant-garde air as in the musical “Hair,” with “characteristic melodies of the violin’s strings and the saxophone’s reed
that hold an intimate vibrational dialogue with the vocal cords,” adds Cristóbal Rey, songwriter and lyricist of the song. "The conceptual video, filmed with an analogue Super 8 camera in Berlin, portrays the transformation of a woman lost in routine through Aquafaba’s audiovisual cosmos and the parallel universe the city offers."
lyrics
Tesão
Song by Cristóbal Rey
Nasce o sol, sai o homem a trabalhar
Sai de casa pra trabalhar.
Nasce o sol, e na Terra tudo a rodar
Acorda João, não vai chegar… vai.
Vai. Vai, vai!
Abre a flor, traz beleza para se espalhar
Eu sou flor, trago vida para celebrar
Sou grato mãe, por tanto andar
E eu vou. E eu vou.
Um sentir no corpo, uma luz que sobe e quer dançar.
Tesão. Tesão. Tesão. Tesão.
Tesão por você. Ah, tesão por você.
Spanish Translation
DESEO o LUJURIA
Sale el sol, el hombre se va a trabajar
Salgo de casa para trabajar.
El sol sale y todo en la Tierra gira
Despierta João, no vendrá ... vendrá.
Ir. ¡Vaya, vaya!
Abre la flor, trae la belleza para difundir
Soy una flor, traigo vida para celebrar
Estoy agradecida madre por tanto caminar
Y yo voy. Y yo voy.
Un sentimiento en el cuerpo, una luz que sube y quiere bailar.
Lujuria. Lujuria. Lujuria. Lujuria.
Cachonda para ti. Ah, cachondo para ti.
English Translation
DESIRE or LUST
The sun rises, the man goes to work
I leave home to work.
The sun rises, and everything on Earth rotates
Wake up João, he won’t make it ... go.
Go. Go, Go!
The flower opens, brings beauty to spread
I'm a flower, I bring life to celebrate
I am grateful mother, for so much walking
And I will go. And I will go.
A feeling in the body, a light that rises and wants to dance.
Desire. Desire. Desire. Desire.
Horny for you. Ah, horny for you.

Song by Cristóbal Rey
AQUAFABA re-imagines Brazil's Tropicalismo expanding through Latin-America, from the Andes to the Caribbean, teleporting to
modern-day Berlin where it can more freely express its psychedelic 'saudade' with transgressive lyrics in Portuguese, Spanish and English full of folk, jazz 'n' soul....more
