Saudade Lyrics in English Karetus , Romeu Bairos

Saudade is the Portuguese word for a deep, sweet-sad yearning, and this track by Karetus featuring Romeu Bairos turns that feeling into sound. Picture a cold, rainy night, empty streets, and not a single fado singer in sight. The chorus spins like a carousel, repeating Vira e volta a saudade (“Saudade turns and comes back”), reminding us that longing never stays still for long. The electronic pulse mixed with traditional vocals creates a fresh yet familiar atmosphere, pulling you into Portugal’s most famous emotion.

Beneath the hypnotic beat lies a simple story: two lovers torn apart by distance. The rain outside mirrors the tears inside, while a metaphorical mask suffocates what they once shared. Still, hope flickers—tear off the mask, close the gap, bring life back. By the final chorus you will feel the ache, but you will also want to dance, proving that saudade can be both heartache and heartbeat at the same time.
