Full lyrics

Se a gente lembra só por lembrar

Do amor que a gente um dia perdeu

Saudade até que aí é bom

Pro cabra se convencer

Que era 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 falo isso por mim

Eu vivo doido a sofrer


Ai, quem me dera voltar

Aos braços do meu xodó

Saudade assim faz roer

E amarga que nem jiló


Mas ninguém pode dizer

Que eu vivo triste a chorar


Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, meu remédio é cantar


Se a gente lembra só por lembrar

Do amor que a gente um dia perdeu

Saudade até que aí é bom

Pro cabra se convencer

Que era 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 falo isso por mim

Eu vivo doido a sofrer


Ai, quem me dera voltar

Aos braços do meu xodó

Saudade assim faz doer

E amarga que nem jiló


Mas ninguém pode dizer

Que eu vivo triste a chorar


Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, meu remédio é cantar


Ai, quem me dera voltar

Aos braços do meu xodó

Saudade assim faz doer

E amarga que nem jiló


Mas ninguém pode dizer

Que eu vivo triste a chorar


Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Saudade, meu remédio é cantar

Translation

If we remember just for the sake of remembering

The love that we once lost

Missing it is even good then

For the guy to convince himself

That he was happy without knowing it

Because he didn't suffer


However, if we live dreaming

Of someone we wish to see again

Missing it is bad then

I say this for myself

I live crazy with suffering


Oh, how I wish I could return

To the arms of my sweetheart

Missing it like this makes you gnaw

And it's as bitter as eggplant


But no one can say

That I live sadly crying


Missing it, my remedy is to sing

Missing it, my remedy is to sing


If we remember just for the sake of remembering

The love that we once lost

Missing it is even good then

For the guy to convince himself

That he was happy without knowing it

Because he didn't suffer


However, if we live dreaming

Of someone we wish to see again

Missing it is bad then

I say this for myself

I live crazy with suffering


Oh, how I wish I could return

To the arms of my sweetheart

Missing it like this makes you hurt

And it's as bitter as eggplant


But no one can say

That I live sadly crying


Missing it, my remedy is to sing

Missing it, my remedy is to sing


Oh, how I wish I could return

To the arms of my sweetheart

Missing it like this makes you hurt

And it's as bitter as eggplant


But no one can say

That I live sadly crying


Missing it, my remedy is to sing

Missing it, my remedy is to sing

Missing it, my remedy is to sing

Missing it, my remedy is to sing
