Chega De Saudade




The title can be translated roughly as "enough longing", though the Portuguese word '' Saudade '' carries with it a far more complex meaning. The word implies an intensity of heartfelt connection that is yearned for passionately; not unlike feeling withdrawal symptoms from a drug that makes one feel good. Another good analogy might be an intense homesickness.

It has been recorded by jazz and rock performers, with the English language title "No More Blues". English lyrics have been written by Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh .

In 2000 , the João Gilberto version was made a member of the Grammy Hall Of Fame . A year later, in 2001 , the album which it came from, Gilberto's album ''Chega de Saudade'', was made an inaugural member of the Latin Grammy Awards Hall of Fame.
