Cesária Évora - Ingrata (HQ) + english lyrics

Details

Description

A native of the island nation of Cape Verde, Cesária Évora was known as the country's foremost practitioner of the morna, which is strongly associated with the islands and combines West African percussion with Portuguese fados, Brazilian modhinas, and British sea shanties. Évora began singing morna at age 16 after meeting an attractive young guitarist. Her talent soon had her performing all over the islands, and in the late '60s two of her radio tapes were released as albums in the Netherlands and Portugal, respectively.
However, Évora never left her country, and gave up singing in the mid-'70s owing to lack of profit. In 1985, at the age of 45, she decided to return to music and traveled to Portugal to record two songs for an anthology of female Cape Verdean singers.

Evora - Ingrata (Album: Ingrata 1987)
(English Translation)

He's someone you can joke without getting angry.
He is someone who remembers you when he prays.
He's someone who loves you for who you are
and not for what you have or what you know.
Is someone who stares,
it takes you to look together in the same direction.
He is someone who cares about your stuff ...
however small.
He is someone who remembers you when you're not
and does not leave you when you fail.

Portuguese Translata
(Not a 100 %:)

Ele é alguém que você pode brincar sem ficar com raiva.
Ele é alguém que se lembra de você quando ora.
Ele é alguém que você ama por quem você é
e não para o que você tem ou o que você sabe.
É alguém que olha,
que você leva para olhar juntos na mesma direção.
Ele é alguém que se preocupa com as suas coisas ...
ainda que pequena.
Ele é alguém que se lembra de você quando você não está
e não deixá-lo quando você falhar.
