Full lyrics

Se a gente lembra só por lembrar

O amor que a gente um dia perdeu

Saudade inté que assim é bom

Por 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, entonce, 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 qui nem jiló

Mas ninguém pode dizer

Que me viu triste a chorar

Saudade, o meu remédio é cantar

Translation

If we remember just for the sake of remembering

The love that we once lost

Longing is even good like that

For a fellow to convince himself

That he's happy without knowing

Because he didn't suffer


But if we live dreaming

Of someone we wish to see again

Longing, then, is bad

I know this from myself,

Who lives crazy with suffering

Oh, how I wish I could return


To the arms of my darling

Longing like this gnaws at you

And is as bitter as a bitter gourd

But no one can say

That they saw me sadly crying

Longing, my remedy is to sing
