A Saudade

Description

Saudade is a Portuguese and Galician word that has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or deeply melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing will never return. A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing.

Não, nbernardo. Saudade não é um vocábulo exclusivamente português ou brasileiro. Nos Estados Unidos da América, por exemplo, diz-se "longing". Na Itália, por sua vez, fala-se "nostalgia".
