"...Longing is to love a past that isn't gone yet, Is to reject a gift that hurt us, Is not seeing the inviting future ... "
Remarks about the translation
As many of you must already know, "saudade" is a very own word of the Portuguese language, with no exact translation into any other language. "Longing", as well "nostalgia", are approximative terms that express the general idea contained in the Portuguese word.
