Chega de Saudade (No More Blues) (arr. J. Calandrelli for choir)

Chega de saudade, a realidade é que sem ela não pode ser

Home is where the heart is

The funny part is

My heart's been right there all along

No more tears

And no more sighs

And no more fears

I'll say no more goodbyes

If trouble beckons me

I swear I'm gonna refuse

I'm gonna settle down and there'll be no more blues

Every day, while I am far away

My thoughts turn homeward

Forever homeward

I traveled 'round the world in search of happiness

But all the happiness I found

Was in my hometown

No more blues

I'm going back home

No more dues

I'm through with all my wanderin'

Now I'll settle down and live my life

And build a home and find a wife

When we settle down there'll be no more blues

Nothing but happiness

When we settle down there'll be no more blues

Every day, while I am far away

My thoughts turn homeward

Forever homeward

I traveled 'round the world in search of happiness

But all the happiness I found

Was in my hometown

No more blues

I'm going back home

No more dues

I'm through with all my wanderin'

Now I'll settle down and live my life

And build a home and find a wife

When we settle down there'll be no more blues

Nothing but happiness

When we settle down there'll be no more blues

Nothing but happiness

When we settle down there'll be no more blues
