Since the day I watched you go
I wait anxiously by the day you'll come back
You said, maybe tomorrow
And I've been waiting forever
Maybe you'll never come back
Maybe you'll be back tomorrow
I don't know.
But I'm not mad.
Because I remember
I remember every single word you said to me
I remember every single day we spent together
And I spend most of my days living it again
In my head, in my heart.
I know you'll come back
Because vacation always end
It may last so long, but it ends.
And I'll be here.
Maybe I'll have found somebody new
Maybe I'll be married, divorced or whatever
But I'll be always waiting for you.
You can call it heartache,
Or illusion,
But I call it saudade.
I miss you, like the blink-182 song.
And just as he said,
I'm waiting for you
So we can live like Jack and Sally
And have halloween on christmas.
"If I switched you, it was not for evil.
Love, you see, I've got someone
Called Saudade."
Saudade - a brazilian word for a kind of nostalgia. When you miss someone or something so much, you feel saudade. So we can describe it as a grateful remembrance of a missing person or something that you were deprived. And it can also be the weight and the pain this deprivation causes.
PS: the last 'verse' is from a song by Los Hermanos called Veja bem, meu bem.
