WHAT DO YOU MISS?
"Saudade" is one of those most Brazilian words.
Difficult to translate, saudade has a touch of
nostalgia and the time when life was better.
For some, missing someone important,
of a love, a friend, a family member. For others,
desire to rescue the Brazilianness of the good
songs and good feelings.
Missing a hug. Missing a kiss.
Longing for hometown, left behind,
in search of a better life in the capital.
Missing the birds that sing a joy
different. From the sky colored in multiple colors,
while the sun goes down.
Longing for a place "Where the bird sings"
WHERE THE BIRD SINGS is a poetic anthology with hundreds of Brazilian perspectives on the country they miss. Enjoy!
