Saudade
Ivan Parente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me parece fantasia
vêm do mar, viajam no ar...
ficam pouco e deixam marcas
dias que parecem sem fim
com palavras não se explica...
o que é ter vocês aqui!
o que toda essa magia!
(REFRÃO)
Tire os pés do chão um instante
isso é só alegria
não precisa muito
pra ser feliz
simples como as horas passam
o amor é tão sutil
mas tão grande que nem vejo
como pode ser tão assim?
tão distante e tão intenso
fácil de sentir
difícil de explicar...
o carinho tá no vento
qualquer um pode sentir...
(REFRÃO)
Como pode ser tudo assim?
me parece mais que um sonho
vocês vêm trazendo sorrisos
tão fugaz como aconteceu
vão e deixam só um adeus
mas o que é bom não se esquece...
porque vocês tem que ir?
fico só e então, saudade!
The lyrics to Ivan Parente's song Saudade are an emotional reflection on the fleeting and intangible nature of love and relationships. The singer muses on how everything can seem like a fantasy, how memories come and go like waves and how days can feel never-ending. He acknowledges the difficulty in expressing the power of having loved ones around, and how that magic is something that is hard to define but brings joy nevertheless.
The refrain speaks directly to the listener and encourages them to take a moment to feel the happiness that love brings. The singer emphasizes that it doesn't take much to be happy, and that happiness is often found in the simple moments. The lyrics also touch on the paradox of love: how it can be both distant and intense, easy to feel but difficult to explain. The lyrics suggest that love is something that exists beyond words and can be felt by anyone who is open to it.
The song ultimately speaks to the bittersweet nature of relationships and love; how they can bring joy and happiness but also leave a sense of longing and sadness behind once they are gone. The final lines express the pain of watching loved ones leave, but also the comfort in knowing that their memory and the happiness they brought will stay with us forever.
