Saudade Boa Lyrics in English Tiago Iorc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saudade Boa by Tiago Iorc from Portuguese to English.
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
Verse 1
I want to be your love
The sweetness of your sweetness got me
It even came out in the tarot
It was already written that we matched
It's because I have you inside my chest
And if you stay away like this
It's not good, no, no
It's you who messes with my heart
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
Verse 2
I want to be your love
The sweetness of your sweetness got me
It even came out in the tarot
It was already written that we matched
It's because I have you inside my chest
And if you stay away like this
It's not good, no, no
It's you who messes with my heart
You mess up my head
You get me with dendê*
So I don't forget
Your sweetness, your scent, homemade seasoning
I'm not crazy to refuse, no
No-no-no-no-no
It's you who messes with my heart
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
It gave me a good longing
And a crazy desire to look for you struck
Being alone is good, but
Being together with you is way better
Good longing
Good longing
Good longing
Good longing
Good longing

SONG MEANING

Tiago Iorc turns the famously bittersweet Brazilian feeling of saudade into something deliciously uplifting. In Saudade Boa — literally “good longing” — he sings about that rush of missing someone in the best possible way: it is a craving that reminds him how wonderful life feels when they are “juntin’” (together). The chorus repeats like a friendly wave of emotion: being alone can be nice, but sharing moments with this special person is “bom demais” — way too good to pass up.

As the verses roll, Tiago sprinkles playful imagery: tarot cards that already predicted their match, the irresistible “doce do teu doce” (the sweetest part of your sweetness), and the unmistakable scent of homemade seasoning. Each line paints love as a mix of destiny, flavor, and rhythm that keeps tugging at his chest. The song is an invitation to embrace longing not as sadness, but as proof of a connection so warm it makes you dance to the thought of running back into each other’s arms.
