Anjinho Dos Teclados
A Humorous Take on Infidelity and Consequences
Anjinho Dos Teclados' song "Corno, Assassino, Presidiario e Viado" is a humorous and satirical take on the themes of infidelity, anger, and the unintended consequences of one's actions. The song revolves around the concept of being a 'corno,' a Brazilian slang term for someone who has been cheated on. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize three wishes to God: not to be a 'corno,' not to know if one is a 'corno,' and if one does find out, not to get angry about it. This sets the tone for the song's playful yet cautionary message.
The narrative follows a man who becomes enraged upon discovering his partner's infidelity. His anger leads him to commit murder, resulting in his imprisonment. In prison, he faces further humiliation and abuse, ultimately becoming a 'corno,' an assassin, a prisoner, and a 'viado' (a derogatory term for a homosexual). The song uses this exaggerated scenario to highlight the futility of anger and the severe consequences that can arise from it. The repeated advice is clear: it's better to accept the situation than to let anger ruin one's life.
Anjinho Dos Teclados employs a mix of humor and irony to convey his message. The song's light-hearted tone and catchy melody contrast sharply with the serious subject matter, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. The use of colloquial language and cultural references adds an extra layer of relatability for Brazilian listeners, who are likely familiar with the societal stigma associated with being a 'corno.' The song ultimately serves as a humorous reminder to keep one's emotions in check and to avoid letting pride and anger dictate one's actions.
