Full lyrics

Se a gente lembra só por lembrar

O amor que a gente um dia a gente perdeu

Saudade inté que assim é bom

Pro cabra se convencer

que é feliz sem saber

Pois não sofreu

Porém se a gente vive a sonhar

Com alguém que se deseja rever

Saudade intonce aí é ruim

Eu tiro isso por mim

Que vivo doido a sofrer

Ai quem me dera voltar

Pros braços do meu xodó

Saudade assim faz roer

E amarga que nem jiló

Mas ninguém pode dizer

Que me viu triste a chorar

Saudade, o meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, o meu remédio é cantar

Translation

If we remember just for remembering

The love that we once lost

Longing, even then, is good

For one to convince oneself

that one is happy without knowing

Because one didn't suffer

But if we live dreaming

Of someone we wish to see again

Longing, then, is bad

I speak for myself

Who lives crazy with suffering

Oh, if only I could return

To the arms of my sweetheart

Such longing gnaws at me

And is bitter like jiló

But no one can say

That they saw me sad and crying

Longing, my remedy is to sing

Longing, my remedy is to sing
