‖ saudade|sauˈdadə|
[Pg.]
Longing, melancholy, nostalgia, as a supposed characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament.
1912A. F. G. Bell In Portugal i. 7 The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness. 1936R. Gallop Portugal xi. 262 In a word saudade is yearning: yearning for something so indefinite as to be indefinable: an unrestrained indulgence in yearning. 1957R. Campbell Portugal p. ix, It [sc. Portugal] is an intensely poetic country, and it is the country of saudade, that mysterious melancholy which sighs at the back of every joy. 1976Gramophone Aug. 320/1 The vigour and the saudade, the two Brazilian qualities with which the Preludes are imbued, are here replaced by a gaucho nostalgia. |
