Saudade Morena

I carry the longing tight in my chest.
I’m gonna cry, there’s no other way, it suffocates my heart.
I only cry when I see it’s worth it.
Missing the girl who went off to another place.

Sippin' mate, and the longing from outside, for someone who left promising not to return.
I sit sipping mate in the evening in the barn, to chase away the loneliness I grab my guitar to sing.

I carry the longing tight in my chest.
I’m gonna cry, there’s no other way, it suffocates my heart.
I only cry when I see it’s worth it.
Missing the girl who went off to another place.

Sippin' mate alone, the longing keeps me company, I want to stay in the countryside, I’m lonely in this spot.
Only the memory of the girl I still carry, with a few verses I take a swig to chase away the loneliness.

I carry the longing tight in my chest.
I’m gonna cry, there’s no other way, it suffocates my heart.
I only cry when I see it’s worth it.
Missing the girl who went off to another place.

I carry the longing tight in my chest.
I’m gonna cry, there’s no other way, it suffocates my heart.
I only cry when I see it’s worth it.
Missing the girl who went off to another place.
