Saudade

Saudade, jewel, is a pain, it hurts
Yeah? Yeah!
Isn't it?

Marks of what throws me from up high
From the tallest building in Paraíba
Traces of a deadly word
That haunts the speakers of the Portuguese Language
From Camões to Cartola
Saudade is a certainty
In every bar in Lapa
In the bitterness of the beer

The word saudade comes from Portuguese Fado
Inflation that find us weak at the end of every month
Maritime, relentless, tireless, it comes around
Saudade yeah
Saudade oh

The word saudade translated into Romanian is pain
Tell me your scent, and I'll know your color
So when I find you, I can run a few kilometers
Saudade yeah
Saudade oh

It invades D-Day in Normandy
Mouths colonizing their days
With the taste and color of Latin America
The emptiness doesn’t negotiate with ten Uruguayan pesos
Carolina Maria, saudade is a parrot
Without wind to fly
Chains make a slave

The word saudade comes from Portuguese Fado
Inflation that find us weak at the end of every month
Maritime, relentless, tireless, it comes around
Saudade yeah
Saudade oh

The word saudade translated into Romanian is pain
Tell me your scent, and I'll know your color
So when I find you, I can run a few kilometers
Saudade yeah
Saudade oh
