LETRA
I’ve tried to write a million other songs but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone
Takes time, alright & I know it’s no one’s fault but
Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way
Tem tanto que trago comigo, foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo
E agora nada faz sentido, perdi o meu melhor amigo
E se não for demais, peço por sinais, resta uma só palavra
Peço por sinais, resta uma só palavra
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way
Nothing more that I can say says it in a better way
(3x)
V3
I’ve tried, alright, but it’s killing me inside
Thought you’d be by my side always

We have a similar word to saudade in Welsh; hiraeth is a yearning for a home you can’t return to, or a home that never was. A deep, irrational bond felt with a time, era, place or person.

[@mjurosa66]

[@MatheusSantos-ms9mt]

it's possible that the tradition of talking about this feeling has evolved from the gaelic cultures. The north of portugal was a gaelic territory , many of the traditions even if changed and merged with the cultures that came after, still present today! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnuqZ6OVbr-dgKs this song is about this old portuguese history!

[@acemendes5686]

I'm brazilian, so hear a song with so deep feeling and melodic and knowing how deep the meaning of the word saudade is hard to describe. Thank you young fellow for sharing this knowledge.

[@Fuarks]

From Cardiff, thank you for sharing this beautiful word !

[@denihiix]

this is the most beautiful thing I read today🥹

[@untubemedia]

La palabra "saudade" en portugués, que también se usa en Brasil, tiene una gran carga emocional y cultural. Saudade es una palabra que no tiene una traducción directa en muchos idiomas, incluyendo el español. Se refiere a un sentimiento profundo de nostalgia o anhelo melancólico por algo o alguien que está ausente. A menudo se describe como el sentimiento de extrañar a alguien o algo con un sentimiento subyacente de amor o cariño. Las implicaciones de saudade son profundas y multifacéticas. Es considerada una palabra importante en la cultura lusófona (de lengua portuguesa) porque encapsula una emoción muy específica y compleja que es vista como parte integral de la identidad y el temperamento portugués y brasileño. Saudade puede referirse a la falta de una persona, lugar, experiencia o momento en la vida que fue alegre y está ahora perdido. Este sentimiento puede ser agridulce, ya que, aunque hay tristeza por la ausencia, también hay una apreciación y alegría por haber tenido esa experiencia o relación. En un nivel más profundo, saudade puede verse como una reflexión sobre la naturaleza efímera de la vida y la inevitabilidad de la pérdida, así como un amor y aprecio por lo que se ha ido. En la música, especialmente en el fado portugués y en la bossa nova brasileña, saudade es un tema recurrente, lo que demuestra su importancia cultural y su profundo arraigo en la expresión artística de estos países.

@@alexandremendes4757 meu caro nós últimos anos muitos professores, lingüistas e outros especialista em comunicação ao analisarem o português do Brasil perceberam que o português de la é diferente do de Português e por causa dessas análises constataram que o Português de Brasil fosse considerado uma "nova língua" derivada do portugués.

“SAUDADE” Nick Cave once said about saudade: “We all experience within us what the Portuguese call “saudade”, an inexplicable longing, an unnamed and enigmatic yearning of the soul, and it is this feeling that lives in the realms of imagination and inspiration, and is the breeding ground for the sad song, for the love song. Saudade is the desire to be transported from darkness into light, to be touched by the hand of that which is not of this world. The love song is the light of God, deep down, blasting up though our wounds”. This music is this… a love song Goes deep , transports me to another place, another level. Obrigada Maro

[@cieradesilva1116]

I agree, what a humanistic project, especially as we all grapple with the changes in the last years of the pandemic. Thanks for including/teaching us the word sevdah, I just looked it up and see that has a long history and seems much like saudade (a hard word to translate).

[@mateaskvorcevic2418]

@@cieradesilva1116 Thank you for looking it up! A lot of people think that saudade is only related to Portuguese culture. "Sevdah" is just like saudade, but with a balkan twist to it. They are rooted in the same place :) Saudade, sevdah is an emotional continuum that has regional varieties (just like different dialects or languages of the same linguistic family) It is all over Mediterranean countries and even goes deeper into the continent. Look up Amira Medunjanin (a modern sevdah singer): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp7RiXiLl6iLkJI "The word itself comes from the Turkish sevda which, in turn, derives from the Arabic word sawda (meaning black bile, from the root s-w-d, “black”), which in earlier times was used by doctors to denote one of the four humors purported to control human feelings and emotions. In Ottoman Turkish sevda doesn’t simply mean black bile; it also refers to a state of being in love, and more specifically to the intense and forlorn longing associated with love-sickness and unrequited love. This is connected with the related Persian word (سودازده) meaning both “melancholic” and “enamored”. It was these associations that came with the word when it was brought to Bosnia by the Ottomans. Today it is a richly evocative Bosnian word, meaning pining or a longing (for a loved one, a place, a time) that is both joyous and painful, being the main theme of Sevdalinka lyrics."

Beautiful tribute to her grandfather. ♥️ Portugal always means quality, elegance and sensitivity. 🇵🇹🇪🇸

[@the_light_writer]

Thank you for letting us know this is about her grandfather. Is there an interview where she talks about this? If so, can you link me to it please? Thanks. :)

​​@@the_light_writer Hello! I knew the story of the song thanks to the commentators of RTVE (Spanish public television) because they said it before her performance at the Eurovision Song Contest. They said that Maro composed this song as a tribute to her grandfather, who had recently passed away and they were really close to each other. That's why all the verses revolve around loss, melancholy and longing (that "saudade" so characteristic of Portugal). Here are the most representative ones: "Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo". *He was always my safe place* (...) "Perdi o meu melhor amigo" * I lost my best friend * (...) "Thought you'd be by my side, always". Ps: the Portuguese song of Eurovision 2018, which was held in Lisbon, also talks about the loss of the grandmother of one of the singers and the song is called "O jardim" ("The garden"). Warm greetings from Spain.

Maro, if You get this group of extraordinary people back together and perform this version of "Saudade.." at the ESC, You will almost certainly win. Especially with Rita and her baby on stage.

[@jeandacruz8647]

Saudade gets me, having just lost both parents and a younger brother, this iconic Portuguese wraps all emotions in one simple word. Good luck

[@josealvesmerello]

So sorry for your loss. Blessings be upon you.

Acho que nunca tinha feito nenhum comentário no KZbin, mas é impossível deixar de comentar esta obra prima. Que pureza, que leveza, que música linda. Muitos parabéns! Simplesmente incrível, tão bonito.

João Maciel, é uma música de energia quântica que bate no subconsciente de qualquer um.

[@l.garcia8595]

Com esta versão tinham muito mais hipóteses de ganhar mas a escolha vai na mesma direção tomada no FdC. Se o Júri e o Público forem pela Música esta não tem rival se forem pelas e desculpem o termo pelas mamas aos saltos e o rabo a abanar então não tem hipótese. Espero que a Mariana seja o Salvador 2.0.

This is the definition of soothing. 1st heard it on Eurovision and was my favorite throughout. Now found this and man this performance... it takes you to places...

[@maureen6714]

This song touches a very sensitive spot in me. I cried every time I listened to it and it was both nostalgic and ecstatic - saudade , right? It refills my whole being and is gracefully relieving at the same time. I feel my shoulders getting warm, like a hug from a loved one - maybe from someone who’s not in this physical world anymore? Thank you for every single one of these feelings. It truly feels like a portal to a dear loving beautiful place.

[@kateyoung1678]

I am literally listening to this for like the 15th time now already.... Maro this is truly some kind of magic medicine you have made. The first night i discovered it, something unlocked and i was crying but in a way that reminded me of many beautiful things in my life. This is the power of music!!! Keep spreading your magic!!

[@lmfcp63]

When you say "i was crying but in a way that reminded me of many beautiful things in my life" you're actually defining the portuguese word "saudade"! Means that the song works!

[@harihondai]

oh wow I didn't know that! Thanks, and yes it certainly does then! 🙏

[@mariaeditecorreia3144]

A magia da palavra saudade « um contentamento descontente ». Esta canção resume de uma forma sublime a saudade. Gratidão Maro!💝

I love this song. from Japan ❤️‍🔥

[@diegodelmar1004]

There is something that I can't explain when listening to this song, a feeling of loss but also of conquest, an expression of memories that mix with the dreams that are missing to live, a cry of hope wrapped in the love of a hug, a certainty of fullness interior, an emotional introspection... A journey of feelings and utopias. In this song, the longing that resides in each one seems to burn in a slow fire, as if waiting for a cry of silence. Never has a song in Eurovision made me feel so much emotion. No matter where it ends up in the contest, this song will stay with me forever. The most beautiful message of this song is realizing that at some point in our life there is something inside us that cannot be explained, it is felt. It is the true sound of beauty.🇵🇹❤️🙏
