Full lyrics
Se a gente lembra só por lembrar
Do amor que a gente um dia 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 doer
Amarga que nem jiló
Mas ninguém pode dizer
Que vivo triste a chorar
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
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
With someone we wish to see again
Then longing is really bad
I know this from myself
Who lives crazy with suffering
Oh, how I wish I could return
To the arms of my sweetheart
Longing like this hurts
Bitter like a bitter melon
But nobody can say
That I live sadly crying
Longing, my remedy is to sing
Longing, my remedy is to sing
