Saudade :: Cinqtroisdecala Rhyme

It's a Portuguese word for yearning for family member; uncertain whether they would return as winner or loser. It's a deep emotional state of melancholic longing for loved, who may or may not return to home that one talking. History says, this word used first in 15th Century when Portuguese ships sailed to overseas for trade routes with their men or to establish overseas empire, sadness prevailed then for those leaving sailors in their journey for the unknown centre. Some never returned; those stayed back ashore suffered from feeling of sadness, longing for the presence of those loved (sailors) men. ~x~
