Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Acoustic guitar + ocean waves] They have a word here… “Saudade.” It means… Missing something and loving it at the same time. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 Boa noite by the ocean side, Silver moon on the rising tide. She said “tudo bem?” I said “I’m fine,” But I was lost in time. Music playing soft and slow, Couples dancing real close. She said “vem comigo,” took my hand… I didn’t need to understand. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 Cape Verde moon, shining bright, Dancing in that silver light. She said “meu amor,” real low… Like a song I used to know. Cape Verde moon, ocean air, Saudade floating everywhere. If I leave tomorrow too soon… I’ll still hear this moon. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 She said “fica comigo” don’t go yet, Night ain’t finished with us yet. I said “eu te amo” by the sea, She leaned her head on me. Waves moving like a song so slow, Somewhere a sad guitar playing low. And in that moment I understood… Somebyes are still good. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 Cape Verde moon, shining bright, Dancing in that silver light. She said “meu amor,” real low… Like a song I used to know. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken] Some places make you happy. Some places make you think. Cape Verde… Makes you remember. ⸻ [Final Verse] 🎶 So if you ever see me by the sea, Looking like I’m somewhere in a dream… I’m just listening for that tune… Under the Cape Verde moon. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Ocean + guitar fading] Yeah… Saudade. That’s the word. And now I understand it.
