Melodia Da Saudade Lyrics in English Fernando Daniel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Melodia Da Saudade by Fernando Daniel from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I, no matter how hard I try to understand
How much you're missed here
I'll never get it
And in the promises
I make to remember you
Verse 1
That's when I can dream
Of all you were to me
And it's on my bad days
When I no longer know who I am
I try to scream to the sky
So you can hear me
And it's on my good days
That I'd like to talk to you
So you can see where I am
Where I managed to get
It's true
I miss you like crazy
Having you here
It's true
I miss you like crazy
But I know you're there
Watching over me
Verse 2
You go everywhere with me
And it's in my chest
That I've carried you
I, I followed your advice
I fought for what I wanted
And I owe you a lot
And it's on my bad days
When I no longer know who I am
I try to scream to the sky
So you can hear me
And it's on my good days
That I'd like to talk to you
So you can see where I am
Where I managed to get
It's true
I miss you like crazy
Having you here
It's true
I miss you like crazy
But I know you're there
Oh, if I could
Bring you back
Even if it was just one more time
Oh, if I could
Bring you now
Even if it was just for an hour
Even if it was
It's true
I miss you like crazy
Having you here
It's true
I miss you like crazy
But I know you're there
Watching over me
Watching over us

SONG MEANING

Melodia Da Saudade is Fernando Daniel’s heartfelt ode to that bittersweet Portuguese feeling of saudade - the ache of missing someone you love while still sensing their presence. Throughout the song he speaks directly to a departed figure who shaped his life, confessing that no matter how hard he tries, he can never fill the empty space they left. On bad days he looks to the sky and shouts, hoping they can hear him; on good days he wishes he could share his victories, showing how far he has come thanks to their guidance.

The lyrics swing between gratitude and longing. Fernando remembers the advice he followed, the dreams he chased, and the invisible support he still feels “a olhar por mim”. He even fantasizes about bringing this person back, if only for a single hour, to hug them once more. The song blends sorrow with hope, turning absence into melody and proving that love can echo well beyond goodbye.
