Text
Submitted by Siberia
Source language: Brazilian Portuguese

''...Saudade é amar um passado que ainda não passou,
É recusar um presente que nos machuca,
É não ver o futuro que nos convida ... ''
Remarks about the translation
Pablo Neruda

Title
"...Longing is to love a past that isn't gone yet,..
Translation
English

Translated by goncin
Target language: English

"...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.
