E Por Falar Em Saudade

The song 'E Por Falar Em Saudade' by Poeta Adailton is a poignant reflection on the feeling of longing and the pain of missing someone deeply. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. The artist uses the concept of 'saudade,' a word in Portuguese that describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one cares for and which is absent. It's a feeling that combines elements of loneliness, incompleteness, and, often, a sense of fatedness.

In the song, the singer personifies saudade as a visitor that comes to remind him of his inability to live without the person he misses. This anthropomorphism of saudade as an almost tangible presence that can take actions such as visiting, reminding, and even using a cellphone to call the loved one, intensifies the emotional weight of the lyrics. The singer is tormented by memories and the stark contrast between the past ('antes') and the present ('depois'), highlighting the struggle to accept the current state of separation.

The recurring phrase 'E por falar em saudade' (And speaking of longing) serves as a refrain that emphasizes the central theme of the song. Each verse builds upon this theme, illustrating the various ways in which saudade affects the singer's life, from disrupting sleep to causing a sense of abandonment. The final line, expressing a longing for the time when the two were together, encapsulates the bittersweet essence of the song: a yearning for a past that is cherished yet painfully out of reach.
