1) a rock music project from Italy.
2) a Brazilian country music singer from Goiás state.
2) a Brazilian gaucha music singer from Rio Grande do Sul state.
3) Serbian neoclassic metal band.
4) Leonardo Ringo, an Indonesian musician, Zeke and The Popo Band, from Jakarta

Inspired by Lou Reed, Richard Hawley, Jeff Buckley, and Tom Waits, Leonardo (drummer from Zeke and the Popo, Indonesia) decided to record his own album which to be named "The Sun" from November 2008 to January 2009. It consists of 13 tracks, each brings a warm atmosphere and a chaotic experience at the same time. Blended with acoustic ambiant, combined with brass section, string section and even gospel choir. A little bit of chamber pop, jazz, swing and a drip of rockabilly, hopefully brings Leonardo to a refreshment for Indonesian pop-culture male-vocal scene. Produced by Hendra Perdana a.k.a. Anda (ex-guitarist of a well-known Indonesian rock band, Bunga) and Dharmo Soedirman (a jazz activist from Komunitas Jazz Kemayoran), this album is a melting pot from an icy thick wall from the two genres. Supported by Rayendra Yuditia (ZATPP), Susan Agiwitanto (Tika and In Memoriam), Emil Hussein (NAIF) on bass, Christo Putra on drums, Anda on electric guitars, Dharmo Soedirman on piano, Mian Meuthia and Mian Tiara as backing vocals, Melanie Wilson from "Amazing in Bed" as guest vocals, Ricky Surya (White Shoes & the Couples Company) on cello, Filipus Davefriz on percussions, will make this album a heat; like the sun, in 2009.

Leonardo is a project born from Trent Gardner (Magellan) with the aim to put on a record the life of the great italian genius Leonardo Da Vinci.

Meto O Pé Na Cara Dele
Leonardo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fiquei sabendo que a mulher que era minha
Tá apanhando igual pandeiro no forró
Que ele sai, só volta na madrugada
Numa cachaça danada, tá batendo sem ter dó

O combinado é que se eu deixasse ele
Ele jamais encostava o dedo nela
Mas que malandro, que moleque, que safado

Finge de apaixonado só pra poder bater nela

Ah, se eu pego aquele cara
Eu meto o pé na cara dele
Eu dou pesada e botinada
Eu dou rasteira, eu dou porrada
Eu meto a mão na cara dele

Ah, se eu pego aquele cara
Eu meto o pé na cara dele
Eu dou rasteira, eu dou pesada

Pontapé e botinada
Eu meto o pé na cara dele

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Leonardo's song Meto O Pé Na Cara Dele tell the story of a man who has just found out that his former partner (referred to as "a mulher que era minha" or "the woman who was mine") is in an abusive relationship with another man. The man is described as being a heavy drinker, leaving and returning in the early hours of the morning and violently beating the woman without mercy. The singer laments his previous agreement with the woman's abuser, that if he left her, he would never harm her. He then goes on to describe the abuser as a "malandro, moleque, safado" or "dishonest, mischievous, scoundrel" who feigns love just to be able to harm her.

The chorus of the song is a declaration of the singer's intent to take matters into his own hands and physically confront the abuser, promising "eu dou pesada e botinada" or "I'll give him heavy punches and kicks." The lyrics are a passionate condemnation of domestic violence and a call to action for those who know about it to do something about it.
