Full lyrics

Ai saudade eu vou embora, eu vou

Ai saudade eu vou embora, eu vou


Quando vim da minha terra

Minha mãe me abençoou

Dizendo pode seguir na santa paz do senhor

Nunca mais pude voltar mais acho que agora eu vou

Saudade esta me matando

Eu vou embora, eu vou


Quando eu vim trouxe saudade

Saudade é o que me restou

Saudade do meu amigo

Saudade do meu amor

Saudade esta me matando

Eu vou embora, eu vou

Translation

Oh, longing, I'm going away, I'm going

Oh, longing, I'm going away, I'm going


When I came from my land

My mother blessed me

Saying you can follow in the holy peace of the Lord

I could never return but I think I'm going now

Longing is killing me

I'm going away, I'm going


When I came I brought longing

Longing is what remains to me

Longing for my friend

Longing for my love

Longing is killing me

I'm going away, I'm going
