Saudade

基本解释

The music is usually linked to the Portuguese guitar and the Portuguese word saudade.
這種音樂通常和葡萄牙吉他和葡萄牙語言saudade聯系在一起的。
For example, the Portuguese word "saudade," which means something like a bittersweet nostalgia for a person or thing that has passed, is a word that doesn’t exist in English.
例如：葡萄牙語的“saudade”一詞，是一個英語中沒有的詞，其含義是：對某個人或某件已經過去的事情的苦樂蓡半的懷舊之情。
Although without an accurate equivalent in English, saudade is describable as a common human feeling; it occurs when one is in love with someone or something yet apart from him, her, or it.
雖然英語中沒有完全等同的形式，saudade被認爲是人類共有的情感，它發生於一個人墜入愛河時或一些東西離他或她而去時。

Although this record is anything but traditional, Maria Rita has gained the respect of major samba figures with her fresh approach to the music, as in an understated rendition of the song "Pra declarar minha saudade, " written by one of the artists she's up against, Arlindo Cruz.
