Sitti, whose name means princess in the Muslim dialect, is truly worthy of her bossa babe title. Lithe, smart and pretty, Sitti was weaned onto song in the usual Pinoy manner: Goaded by relatives, she'd sing a couple of Whitney Houston torchers at family gatherings. The former corps commander would also join singing contests and was very active in the school choir. After graduating from high school in 2001, her neighbor, pianist and accompanist Romy San Mateo, scouted the young business economics major out, and asked if she wanted to sing at the Stonehouse jazz bar. She has also landed gigs at other lounge spots, such as Kalesa Bar and the Richmond and Makati Shangri-la Hotels, besides hosting events and touring island destinations in the Philippines in Studio23's The Travel Show. Sitti was made to sing bossa nova. Her relaxed singing style and soothing voice lingers above the complex harmonies of the jazz and samba influenced Brazilian genre, effortlessly gelling lyric and music together. Sitti's eyes light up when she talks about music, especially bossa. In 2004, Sitti got another big break, this time as a recording artist for Warner Music Philippines. After hearing a few demos from Sitti, the major label decided to cut her a solo record. In 2005, Sitti found herself recording her debut album, Cafe Bossa. "I want people in my age bracket to be aware about jazz and bossa nova, and that there's more to music besides the standard pop and R&B," shares Sitti. New converts and long time bossa fans alike will not be disappointed by Sitti's debut offering. Cafe Bossa is indeed a cup of chill in 18 choice tracks. It's a must-hear album of laid-back tunes done in the warm sounds of OPM's bossa babe.

Chega de Saudade
Sitti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vai minha tristeza e diz a ela que sem ela
Não pode ser, diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse, porque eu não posso
Mais sofrer. Chega de saudade a realidade
É que sem ela não há paz, não há beleza
É só tristeza e a melancolia
Que não sai de mim, não sai de mim, não sai

Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar,
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos que eu darei
Na sua boca, dentro dos meus braços
Os abraços hão de ser, milhões de abraços
Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de você viver sem mim.
Não quero mais esse negócio de você longe de mim Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos que eu darei na sua boca
Dentro dos meus braços os abraços
Hão de ser milhões de abraços apertado assim
Colado assim, calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De viver longe de mim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você viver assim

Vamos deixar desse negócio
De você viver sem mim

Vai minha tristeza e diz a ela que sem ela / Não pode ser, diz-lhe numa prece / Que ela regresse, porque eu não posso / Mais sofrer.
My sadness, go and tell her that without her it cannot be. Pray to her to come back, because I cannot suffer anymore.

Enough of missing her, the reality is that without her there is no peace, no beauty. There is only sadness and melancholy that does not leave me, does not leave me, does not leave.

Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar, / Que coisa linda, que coisa louca / Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar / Do que os beijinhos que eu darei / Na sua boca, dentro dos meus braços
But if she comes back, if she comes back, how beautiful, how crazy. There are less little fishes swimming in the sea than the kisses I will give on her mouth, inside my arms.

Os abraços hão de ser, milhões de abraços / Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim / Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim / Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de você viver sem mim.
