Notas melancólicas - Parte 3


A saudade talvez seja o mais melancólico dos sentimentos. O que é a saudade senão um desejo melancólico que nos faz sofrer com o que não se pode esquecer? O termo saudade vem, provavelmente, do latim solitatem, solidão. Do latim, o vocábulo modificou-se sucessivas vezes com o passar dos séculos. De soedade para soidade, daí para suidade, até a forma como o conhecemos hoje, saudade. Suave fumo do fogo do amor, mimosa paixão da alma, mal de que se gosta e um bem que se padece, diversas são as definições para a palavra saudade; não poucos poetas e compositores tentaram explicar, ao longo da história, o sentimento que, até onde se sabe, é universal, vez que pode ser identificado em todas as culturas e em todas as épocas históricas que tiveram o Homem como protagonista. Há referências ao termo na Bíblia, na cultura das tribos africanas e nas tradições dos indígenas brasileiros pré-Portugal.

Uma das mais simples (e paradoxalmente complexas) definições para o sentimento é atribuída ao poeta português Teixeira de Pascoaes (1877-1952). Para ele, saudade nada mais é do que o “desejo da coisa ou criatura amada, tornado dolorido pela ausência”. Sem dúvidas, parece que sentimos saudade daquilo de que gostamos e gostamos de ter saudades, sentimos prazer nisso. A saudade trás em si vários elementos da melancolia, como a inação e a contemplação e, não raro, a depressão.

Todavia, a mais bela definição para o termo, a referência cristalizada quando se pensa na palavra saudade, vêm mesmo de Camões (1524-1580). Para o poeta,

Não é logo a saudade,

Das terras onde nasceu

A carne, mas é do Céu

Daquela santa cidade

De onde esta alma descendeu

Quase tão bonita quanto a visão de Camões a acerca da saudade, é a do cantor e compositor norte-americano Bob Dylan (1941). Em 1974 o casamento de quase dez anos com sua então esposa, Sara Dylan, andava em crise e Sara resolve se divorciar do compositor. O processo de separação seria extremamente desgastante e, no decorrer do divórcio, Dylan foi tragado por uma tristeza patológica. Ainda em 1974, em apenas uma noite de insônia, munido de pena e violão, compôs para a esposa uma canção de amor autobiográfica relatando os anos de matrimônio, os cinco filhos pequenos do casal e, ainda, as férias passadas junto a Sara em Portugal. Na letra do poema, Dylan também pedia perdão por suas transgressões e, no último verso, ele, literalmente, chora para a mulher não ir embora. De nada adiantaria. Um ano depois, o processo de separação seria definitivamente concluído e Dylan cairia no alcoolismo. Sem mais delongas, senhores, deixar-vos-ei com a letra da canção, um dos mais belos hinos de saudade de toda a história da música popular.

Sara

I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
You were always so close and still within reach.

Sara, Sara,
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara, Sara,
So easy to look at, so hard to define.

I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand,
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill.

Sara, Sara,
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
Sara, Sara,
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.

Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar,
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.

Sara, Sara,
It's all so clear, I could never forget,
Sara, Sara,
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells,
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through,
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel,
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.

Sara, Sara,
Wherever we travel we're never apart.
Sara, oh Sara,
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.

How did I meet you? I don't know.
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.

Sara, oh Sara,
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress,
Sara, Sara,
You must forgive me my unworthiness.

Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
You always responded when I needed your help,
You gimme a map and a key to your door.

Sara, oh Sara,
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow,
Sara, oh Sara,
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.

VINICIUS.MOTA disse...

A palavra "saudade", com esta significação que conhecemos, só existe em português. Interessante não? Talvez por isso, ou inclusive por isso, Oswald de Andrade escreveu:
"O Brasil é uma república federativa cheia de árvores e gente dizendo adeus".

Citação melancólica para combinar.

Anônimo disse...

É verdade Vinícius. Dizem que este nome saudade é particularmente próprio à Língua Portuguesa, de forma que no latim nem em outra linguagem qualquer não se consta sentido semelhante para tal sentimento.

Quanto à citação melancólica, escolheste umas das mais belas de todas. Valeu rapaz, um abraço.

Débora Medeiros disse...

Em espanhol, tem uma expressão bonita pra saudade também: "me echas de menos". O verbo "echar" significa lançar, agregar adicionar algo. Quando você sente saudade de alguém, é como se retirassem uma parte de você.

Indeed, it is just not all that difficult to see it at work in your life or the lives of people you know, possibly. Still as with quite a few things, there is far more to it and some things should be thoroughly thought about.

Everybody has a reasonable idea about what is doable with it. But when you can uncover all you can and learn, then you will find oneself in a greater position. So in that spirit, here are numerous important points concerning this subject you may appreciate knowing.

The relative complexities of men's and women's style

Both women and men could feel the pressures of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion frequently feels a lot less complicated. Of course, for both sexes, clothes and style choices may be equally as intricate, and there are many'stylish'items which could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they frequently see people running around in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style includes a few choice goods that can exist forever - which man is likely to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select classic cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why traditional men's fashion is timeless

The classic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous varieties for various events, nevertheless they are all popular in their quest for a smart, sharp search for the individual. The good thing about traditional fashion for men is that it is simply fashionable simply cool. A well-groomed gentleman will typically appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such clothing. A suit will undoubtedly be worn to work in several jobs because of the professional search it affords to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and confidence. Similarly a suit will be used to many social occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible flexibility that allows suits to be utilized in virtually all occasions is what gives it its eternal border and a permanent invest men's fashion.

Contemporary movements in traditional men's style

Whilst classic men's styles can never be changed, it is interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain classic clothes back to fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing, specially, has brought back a wide-variety of basic models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress yourself in a classic yet extravagant way, acting in a sophisticated manner and placing importance on appearance. This development for almost'over-the-top'classic style for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages clothe themselves in significantly Victorian-style clothing and take to the roads on vintage bicycles - with most of the men wearing remarkable mustaches! This really is just one of many types of research displaying the revival of such types. There are also numerous blogs on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though specific areas of basic men's fashion can be cut back as new developments, the basic outfits that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
