Saudade reportedly has no direct English translation; its a Portuguese word describing the nostalgic longing for something that may never return, or may not exist. This feeling can be strangely comforting; author Manuel de Mello calls it A pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy. It permeates the music of Brazil, another nation steeped in slavery and sadness and the hope for a better life.
