É Só Saudade

I saw the stream flowing
When winter came around
I also saw everything dying
When the stream dried down
That's when I said goodbye!
To a little piece of land
That stayed far away
In the backcountry on a hillside

And now it's just longing
That fills my heart
My love, my friendship
Stayed back in that backcountry (Repeat)

I wish that the longing
Would just leave me alone
Or that it would let me go
Little by little, day by day
I swear on Our Lady
I never forgot the backcountry
But the drought's consuming me
I’ll just stay here

And now it's just longing
That fills my heart
My love, my friendship
Stayed back in that backcountry (Repeat)
