Say that everything looks different

Oh, say it again

Say that you no longer think you're the same

Oh, say it again

And say it again

That I didn't hear you

And say it again

Maybe if you saw what I carry inside

Maybe if you stopped criticizing

Maybe if you saw that nothing is eternal

You wouldn't cry to change

I don't think that you understand everything that I feel

I live longing for something that's already gone

When I dream I'm always awake

Ultra sodade, too much

I feel that the farther I get away

The more I cling too

Prisoner of all my memories

There's no present to see

And it hurts to long for what's already gone

Too much sodade, too much sodade

Maybe if you saw what I carry inside

Maybe if you stopped criticizing

Maybe if you saw that nothing is eternal

You wouldn't cry to change

I don't think that you understand everything that I feel

I live longing for something that's already gone

When I dream I'm always awake

Ultra sodade, too much

Sodade, sodade

Sodade from my land São Nicolau

Sodade, sodade

Sodade from my land São Nicolau

I don't know where to find

What I long for too much

I've stayed on the other side

And I don't know if I'll go back

Sodade, sodade

Sodade from my land São Nicolau

SONG MEANING

Ultra Sodade dives head-first into that bittersweet feeling the Portuguese call saudade — a longing so intense it aches, yet feels oddly comforting. Kevin Kaarl and NSQK turn it up to the max, describing how every step away from the past only tightens its grip on their hearts. They plead for understanding, insisting that if we could glimpse the storm of memories they carry, we would see why change feels impossible. The refrain in Portuguese, “Sodade dessa minha terra São Nicolau,” nods to Cape Verdean folk songs and widens the nostalgia to include missing a homeland, a time, and even a version of oneself that no longer exists.

Instead of offering easy closure, the track paints longing as a restless companion. Dreams happen awake, the present feels out of reach, and the future stays uncertain. Yet the song’s hypnotic beat and lush harmonies make this heavy emotion strangely uplifting, inviting listeners to embrace their own ultra-sized nostalgia and dance with it for a while.
