Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saudade Boa by Tiago Iorc from Portuguese to English.

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

Verse 1

I wanna be your love

The sweet in your sweetness got me

It even showed up in the tarot

It was already written that we'd match

I keep you inside my chest

And if you stay far away like that

It's no good, no, no

You're the one who stirs my heart

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

Verse 2

I wanna be your love

The sweet in your sweetness got me

It even showed up in the tarot

What we agreed was already written

I keep you inside my chest

And if you stay far away like that

It's no good, no, no

You're the one who stirs my heart

You blow my mind

You get me good with dendê

So I won't forget

Your sweetness, your scent, homemade spice

I'm not crazy to turn it down, no

N-n-n-n-no

You're the one who stirs my heart

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

A good longing hit me

And a wild urge to find you came on

It's just that alone is good, but

With you close it's way too good

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.
