Feeling blue. In Portugal there's a word that everybody thinks has no translation to other languages. The word is saudade and it basically means to miss something or someone … of course it doesn't mean only that, but the general idea is there.

For me there is a word that's much more difficult to translate to Portuguese. Blue. I'm often with the blues… or at least it's the nearest expression that I know to explain what I feel. I really have a hard time expressing what I feel to others and that's due (along with other things) to the lack of words / expressions that symbolise what I feel.

I wish it existed at least a general translation… but it looks that a felling that is so easy to understand… is extremely difficult to translate, so I'll continue to feel with the blues… even in Portuguese.
