Song Meaning of “Saudadona” by Mococa & Paraíso
‘Saudadona’ by Mococa & Paraíso is a melancholic song that speaks of overwhelming sadness and longing for a lost loved one. The writers reminisce about the past, and the memories they shared, while at the same time, acknowledge the future without them and the irreversibility of life.
The lyrics contain a powerful sadness that evokes the feeling of “Saudade”, a Portuguese word that has no direct English translation but is often referred to as the feeling of missing someone. This longing is especially present in the bridge of the song, where the writers want to be able to “taste” the absent one’s absence in an attempt to make it less terrible and unbearable.
The song conveys a sense of longing for a person who is now gone from our lives, yet a gentle reminding that although the future may be filled with immense sadness, there will still be moments of joy in the present. It is a beautiful reminder to embrace both happy and sad moments, the good and the bad, as life is fleeting and memories can never be replaced.
