Saudade Saudade - MARO Reaction with Mike & Ginger 

"Saudade" is when we remember those special days that leave a smile on our face. "Saudade" it's when we remember our father's hug after we won the first race of our lives. "Saudade" it's when we miss our mother's hug and her kiss, and we smile thinking about her. Saudade it's when a scent of pine and candys reminds us of a Christmas dinner on the mountain, where everyone was still present and we laughed and sing together. "Saudade" is when we look at the sea and remember the afternoon we met in the beach, but fate didn't allow us to stay together forever. "Saudade" is when we want to go back to that place where we were happy. "Saudade" it's a discontented contentment. ❤ from Portugal

From Wikipedia Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again. It is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, and well-being, which now trigger the senses and make one experience the pain of separation from those joyous sensations. Saudade describes a feeling both happy and sad, and could be approximated by the English expression ‘bitter sweet’.

Very nice. Great voices. Very enjoyable, you could definitely say play that again, without any fear of contradiction. ❤️🎸🤘🇦🇺

Portugal 12 points

Português é a língua mais linda do mundo 💪❤️🇵🇹

Really beautiful. Could easily listen to her again 🎵🎶👌🏻🤘🏻

Saudade is big as a country! If you ask a portuguese to find a word to define the portuguese people, well that is the word that they will choose. Now... the meaning and translation of the word is long debated, and is used in Portugal a lot when they "miss something or someone", which is the case of Maro on this song. The song is about the loss of her best friend and grandmother, but Saudade takes "missing something" to another level (of soul digging) when you are overseas (which is also the case of Maro)... that's where I believe the "Saudade" feeling is really a very portuguese thing. Probably comes from Luis the Camões and the portuguese conquistadores and the portuguese curse of having always someone overseas Now, being a portuguese that really knows how Saudade feels like, I would say that Maro captured the Saudade feeling completely in its essence, and seeing several youtubers reacting to her song crying with goosebumps makes me think that they have just experimented Saudade. It's like someone captured Saudade Goosebumps in a bottle.

Saudade is like a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is characteristic of the Portuguese. Also, this song is for Maro's grandfather who sadly passed away and she is singing for him, asking him for signs and saying she feels saudades for him.

Saudade is not only sadness, it is also joy at the same time. Just as you feel sadness for the absence, you feel nostalgia, but at the same time you feel joy, for the good moments spent and for the feelings experienced. It is a mixture of feelings that is difficult to explain, that is why in Portuguese there is the word "Saudade". Because she sums up in one word, that mixture of feelings. This song is about the loss of someone (her grandfather), but it's not only sad... it's like a celebration of what was lived too... Not always you feel Saudade with tears in your eyes. You may feel Saudade with a smile in your face...👌🏻🇵🇹

She's going to represent Portugal in Eurovision 2022 ❤

This song was dedicated to her grandfather that died last year. Saudade doesn't have any direct translation to english, that's why she can't say what's she's feeling 'in a better way'. The 'lotto' numbers was the number people called to vote for her to go to Eurovision 2022 to represent Portugal. Spoiler: she won!

For me this one of the best away to say what Saudade is, this person Knows what is talking about credits to him : BugaBean my 5 cents on trying to explain what "saudade" is: 1) saudade is always a positive feeling toward moments/someone/something: there is no saudade of something you didn't liked; this is an important point 2) saudade is the recollection of enjoyable moments you experienced with someone/something/somewhere in the past that are now absent from you and in some manner you miss 3) it is usually accompanied with longing: you yearn those moments again, but longing is not saudade (see point 2) 4) it can be accompanied with the feeling of missing someone/something, but missing someone is not saudade (see point 2) 5) it can be accompanied with nostalgia; but nostalgia is not saudade (see point 2) 6) it can be accompanied with sadness dependent on the reason of the absence. sadness is not saudade (see point 2) and it is less probable than points 3) 4) and 5) 7) in can be accompanied with gratitude to have lived those moments, but gratitude is not saudade (see point 2) 8) it has a medium intensity by default. to express intense saudades you can say for instance (direct translation) "i have so many saudades of ..." 9) saudade has not a broad range of meanings: it is a very specific feeling. when someone says (direct translation) "i have saudades of something" he does not need to say anything more for you to know exactly what he is talking about 10) portuguese speakers use a lot the word saudade in the everyday discourse: that shows the prevalence of this feeling in humans

Saudade is a Portuguese word with no literal translation in other languages. We can “saudade” a person who was far away, “saudade” vacations, “saudade” being with friends, “saudade” food we like, “saudade” a person who died, “saudade” a beautiful city where we were, etc etc.

Very beautiful song!! 💜💜💜

Cute reaction to an almost transcendent song.

Right to the Heart!

There's a better version of the song , listen to Maro , live in Avinyó

Nothing more than I can say says it in a better way!

Saudade can be a sad word (when expresses missing someone or something we will never see again) but also can be a joyful word when related to someone or something I know I will see or express again and I just can't wait for it. Something like that. It is really difficult to put in English.

Esta música ..entra no coração ❤️

❤ Maro takes us in a beautiful and unbelievable way to the comfort that happy memories are. Saudade transcends the history of each one of us and elevates us to collective memory. Saudadeof peace. Saudade of joy.

too good for Eurovision. Maro (Mariana Secca) is the artistic name of the singer who invited a few friends for the backup vocals. Studied in Boston and started her musical career in L.A. About 'saudade' it looks like there is no translation in any other language.Some say it's origin is from the arab 'saudah', others defend it's from the latin 'sólitas', which means loneliness. The true is that it's meaning is far beyond the concept of 'missing someone or something and, in my view, it is directly related to the Portuguese Discoveries when the sailors were leaving the world as it was know at the time, travelling to the unknown.

Hy Mike and Ginger, thanks so much for your reaction. It's a very hipnotic, magical and emotional song! Saudade does not have a translation to any language, its an unique word kinda feeling of missing something or someone, a feeling of nolstalgia. So the song, and the word saudade is to remember her grandfather, who recently died. And Maro is the singer and songwriter of this MASTERPIECE and she's the one in the middle. The others are her friends and are the backing vocals. Big hug from beautiful Lisboa... 🤗

This is sublime, this song deserves to win!

(Saudade) It was taught to us Portuguese people since young age that a lot of people died several centuries ago, specially young people and kids, across Europe of course, not only in Portugal, because wars, hunger, illnesses, people had to deal with constant loss and pain... But when you bury the body you keep the memory alive like the graves where the bodies rest... But when the constant traveling across the sea of portuguese sailors, fathers and sons for months and years, that takes the certainty of where our loved ones are or if they are alive or dead... Not knowing the day those sailors and soldiers would come back to their families, if there was a come back, it took away that certainty from a lot of mothers and wives, grand parents, friends, children, including the memory, the finality and at the end their meaning of life... And that anguish and dispair that could crumble an entire people in pain until extinction, in the case of Portuguese people it changed into a bearable feeling... The sweet and addicted feeling of hope dressed in an eternal sadness: Saudade... And that turned out as a portuguese people identity and cultural expression, specially in the case of Fado music. Of course nowadays the term Saudade lost that primal meaning because times changed... But portuguese people did refuse to let the word die, even though it changed into something more trivial, it kept the deepness, because like I said it turned out as a people cultural identity.

(…and since we mentioned Saudade…) Saudade is not a sad word. Saudade is the embrace of the past to the pain of the present. Saudade is reunion. Saudade is the prove that happiness exists. Saudade is gratitude. Saudade is the escape that saves us from ourselves. Saudade is cuddleness. Saudade is the kiss that wakes us up and gives us back to ourselves. Saudade is tenderness. Saudade is a tear that tastes like sugar. Saudade is flavor. Saudade is a flame that burns without ignating. Saudade is the light. Saudade is a space that fits our soul. Saudade is home. Saudade is a companion who follows us closely. Saudade is the way. Saudade is doubt without the shadow of fear. Saudade is the truth. Saudade is rain melting sunshine. Saudade is a rainbow. Saudade is a cold breeze that shakes your absences. Saudade is memory. Saudade is the everyday’s bread we knead. Saudade is food. Saudade is a land to which we never return. Saudade is heart. Saudade is the sea that always goes and returns. Saudade is hope. Saudade is faith that we do not depart. Saudade is a prayer. Saudade is the excuse that the soul gives to time. Saudade is eternity. Saudade is the matter from which redemption is made. Saudade is Love. (Teresa Teixeira)

Simplicity without tricks !! Serenity and peace in this world !!

Amazing and magic song from PORTUGAL. Winner alert

Straight to our hearts... smoothly 🌈❤ !! If I may suggest you, search for other songs by Maro like "O que será de ti" from 2019... pure delight ❤❤!! Love from 🇵🇹!! 😘😘

“ITSA ME, MARO!” Maro youtube

.In a time of war when Europe and the world suffer negative consequences, especially in Europe, due to the residential/cultural destruction and the massacre that is happening in Ukraine, this Portuguese song ("SAUDADE, SAUDADE" so well performed by Maro and her colleagues) appears as an embrace of love, warmth, solidarity, union, inner joy and peace... through this beautiful music, warm, meditative, deep, healing and full of harmony and subjective hope within a mystical freedom of shared concrete peace!!... Thank you for the beautiful reaction!! Amazing song Portugal 💜☮️ beautiful, quality!! Ah... "SAUDADE" in addition to meaning a melancholy feeling due to death (here remembering the good times spent together) or inner joy; or the simple removal of a person, a thing or a place, or the absence of pleasurable experiences already lived is, at the same time, a sincere and deep desire for all this!... For a warm hug, to be loved, to a joyful, unique, harmonious and peaceful space. That's why you can also send a lot of SAUDADES ("MISS") to a girlfriend/boyfriend, family or friends!....🥰😘🤩😍🥳💖❤️

SAUDADE is a really strong way of feeling. Is missing hard someone or something. SAUDADE IS A UNIQUE WAY OF MISSING.

Love from Portugal 🇵🇹💖👋👍

A pureza desta música, misturada com a simplicidade da interprete, coloca-nos em estado de meditação...Agradecido Maro..

As you know, this is Portugal's representative in this year's Eurovision Contest, and it was chosen via a national song contest called Festival da Canção. The numbers that Ginger mentioned are not lottery numbers... That's the song's number (number 9) and the phone number to call to cast a vote for this song. 😉

WOW - Powerful song... beautiful. Especially for those who knows the meaning of Saudade (word with out direct translation in any other language)

'Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and/or loves.

Love from Portugal 💚 Obrigado 🇵🇹

The song is too much good to the Eurovision Song Contest! It's a SONG! It's not a " circus show" - no dance, no stupid and ridiculous outfits, no fire or flames! So...it won´t be noticed! I think it won't go to the Final. But...it's a very good and nice song " made in Portugal"!

What about Joni Mitchell in her lower keys? Another brilliant Canadian... The song almost souns as a Pat Matheny intro and Mitchell starting very low.

Lyrics: I’ve tried to write A million other songs but Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone Takes time, alright And I know it’s no one’s fault but Somehow I can’t move on, oh you’re gone Saudade = 'Longing' Saudade Nothing more that I can say Says it in a better way Saudade Saudade Nothing more that I can say Says it in a better way Tem tanto que trago comigo = There's so much (of him/her) left in me Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo = (he/she) was always my safe place E agora nada faz sentido = And now nothing makes sense Perdi o meu melhor amigo = I lost my bestfriend E se não for demais = And if its not too much Peço por sinais = I ask for a sign Resta uma só palavra = There's only one word left Saudade Saudade Nothing more that I can say Says it in a better way Saudade Saudade Nothing more that I can say Says it in a better way Nothing more that I can say Says it in a better way I’ve tried, alright But it’s killing me inside Thought you’d be by my side always

Saudade is missing something we never had like we had our entire lives or something we had but will never have again although it feels like it's still with us

One word: saudade, only Portuguese understands! That's why there is no translation into other languages! Maro misses her Grandpa, I miss my dear mother.............❤️❤️................etc "It could be a place, it can be an animal, memory of something good, never bad!

Maro is one singer

Thank you so much . That is the point, the world needs peace and this nostalgic song is definitely a peace appealing song, very simple, very honest, very humble. It talks about feelings, about the sadness and emptiness that Maro is feeling about losing her best friend, her grandfather. No fireworks, no frantic dances, just herself, the audience, her grandfather and emotions. Very portuguese but universal at the same time. Thank you so much. Greetings from Portugal.

Check for MARO singing Tears in Heaven, in a duet with Eric Clapton, on RU-vid 🙌

saudade is the feeling you get, when you come to visit portugal...and then go back home. You get Saudades

Saudade Saudade, canção para ganhar com amor e carinho! ❤️❤️

You don't want to hear any other song from eurovision 2022 when you want to remember someone who is gone, you want to hear SAUDADE, by MARO. Obrigado MARO

Hi, greetings from Portugal. Translate the portuguese part lyrics so you can understand what she says. Then listen the song again. It will seem even more emotional. Fantastic song. Anyway, good job people 😀

The anthem of peace 2022.❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🌍🌍🌍🌍.12 Points for Portugal.

That's the song Portugal is taking to Eurovision this year

❤

Someone asked me to define "saudade" ... I "smile crying" ...”

Amazing

Olá!! This is not fado. It's a kind of contemporary simple song with some afro beats. Portuguese music is filled with mixes from all over. African, Arabic, Indian... React to Ana Moura feat Conan Osiris live and allamedah with the song "Algema". Byyyye!

Saudade does not directly translate to english as there is no word in English for the feeling of missing someone, longing for something or just "i miss you", it's just... saudade

Her grandfather had recently passed away. Saudade is a word that only exists in portuguese. It means missing somebody or something in a nostalgic way.

Saudade means longing

Beautiful song, by the way the answer is B

Saudade portuguese word dont have translation in a another language. Saudade its a feeling

Saudade means missing someone or something....

Unique, brilliant and fantastic song. 💓👏🙌🙏

Saudade, means like reaurds y think.

Imagine if you would understand all the words! It has amazing lyrics. You should go find what it means and understand the greater side of this song.

Saudade hasn't any kind of translation to other languages. It is a specific word/meaning from Portugal and the Portuguese/Portuguese speakers. It relates to the time of Discoveries when the sailors sailed from Portugal, leaving their families behind, and the feeling the mothers, sons, and wives had was more than a miss you. It was "Saudade," a strong emotion, coming from our most profound feelings when we lose someone when we don't see someone for a long, long time, more substantial than an "I miss so much"! "SAUDADE" - Everyone has, but only the Portuguese has a specific word for it. It is one of the Portuguese words that there isn't any kind of translation to other languages. SAUDADE is... SAUDADE!

B - it's the more near pronunciation...

Spice Girls Portuguese

Pure art and magic ❤️

Directly to my Playlist! I can't stop. It's like sex...y know..y allways need more. Sorry for that🤗. Love ❤ and Peace. Stop war!

I legit LOLed at the lottery number comment! She was song 09. The numbers (760...) were the phone number to call to vote 😂

Maro is her artistic name.. Her name is Mariana. The girls are a back vocal band of girls. I think that they are from Galiza, sawing the video that Maro released. The clapping has flamenco vibes too. The song isn't Fado, but a mixture of different sounds from world music with modern production. Maro has videos with different artists including Eric Clapton. They sing together "Tears in Heaven ", in a very touching way. By the way, the backvocals girls band are seven, but only 4 have been chosen. I'll place all the names that Maro mentioned on the video rehearsals: Eva Fernández Judith Neddermann Magali Datzira Magali Sare Rita Payés Selma Bruna Silvia Pérez Cruz

Nothing compares to Maro and her friends. Great entry from Portugal with Saudade, Saudade

Here's the video link of the rehearsals. On the video box are mentioned all the names of the backvocals, guitar players , etc. Just remind that the backvocals band girls are 7, but only 4 have been chosen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_T7irLRaQI.html
