Saudade is the famously untranslatable Portuguese word for that sweet-sad ache of missing someone you love, and Murta turns it into a heartfelt confession. With total honesty he opens both mente (mind) and coração (heart), describing a bond so strong it keeps him smiling even while distance tries to pull the two lovers apart. Every lyric glows with the promise of reunion: he begs to be taken “para ao pé de ti” — right next to you — so he can feel the warmth of a shared smile, pour out his love, and make sure the other never falls.
Yet silence creeps in, feeding confusion and testing his faith. Even then the promise stands firm. By repeating the word Saudade like a mantra, Murta transforms longing into hope, proving that real love can stretch across miles and still burn brightly until the moment the two hearts meet again.
