A song inspired in Fado de Coimbra, and in the beauty of the region of Serra do Açor and Serra da Estrela, made while living in the iconic national monument "Casa do Penedo", in Nogueira do Cravo, from the IX Century. Being in the region of Coimbra and connecting with my growing and family roots, this moment of my life has lead me to this song. Inspired by listening "Fado ao Centro", there was a moment where this melody came into my voice, lightning and calling the born of an eternal fire.
Saudade is a unique word in portuguese, which means "missing something or someone", and that was my deep feeling, before departuring from this place, and wonderfull life together with Laura and Madragoa, in the embracing community of the region.

"Saudade" is an homenage to the unique moments and persons in our lifes,  because what we have is the present moment, and there are moments and persons which will always remain in our hearts and souls.

Rui Vasques - Saudade
Como as águas que correm pelo rio
Transparência revela a verdade
Como a mágoa cria o vazio
Cai a chuva e molha a cidade

Como o vento aumenta o frio
Sangue aquece com proximidade
Como soa o som do assobio
Canto a voz que expressa a liberdade

Como a terra gera o alimento
O maduro cresce em humildade
Como a estrela brilha no firmamento
Vibra a aura livre de vaidade

Como o fogo é calmo ou violento
Se transforma sonho em realidade
Como surge cada sentimento
Minha alma relembra de Saudade
