Happy and Sad - - (At the same time? Huh?)

My online friend in Brazil told me recently about a form of popular music called "Axé. From Wikipedia:
"Axé music is a popular music genre originating in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil approximately in 1986, fusing different Afro-Caribbean genres, such as Marcha, Reggae, and Calypso. . . . . The word "axé" comes from a Yoruba religious greeting used in the Candomblé and Umbanda religions that means "soul", "light", "spirit" or "good vibration"."

In this particular song, "E Saudade", the words are very depressing ("You went away and never called, how indifferent you are" "Come back and give me a kiss")

Anyway the mood of this music is very infectious, upbeat and energizing!
Can music be sad and happy at the same time?




Qual a melhor forma de sentir calor
What's the best way to feel the heat

Sem seu corpo quente
Without your hot body

Qual o melhor jeito de falar de amor
What's the best way to talk about love

Sem falar da gente
Without talking about us

Você foi embora e nem telefonou
You went away and never called back

Tão indiferente
So indifferent

Se foi pra terminar por quê que começou
If it had to finish, then what did it start?

Tinha que ser pra sempre
It had to be forever

Eu sei
I know

Tanta coisa mudou
So much has changed

Ê, saudade
The longing, the missing you

Que bate no meu coração
Beating my heart

Sei que é tarde
I know it's late

Mas não desligue não
But do not hang up

Ê, saudade
The longing, the missing you

Que bate no meu coração
Beating my heart

Preciso dizer que eu te amo pra você lembrar
I need to say that I love you, so that you remember
