[edit]señardade f (plural señardades)

- Synonym: saudade
- 1954, Manuel María, “O Carro”, in Terra Chá:
- Non canta na Chá ninguén.
Por eso o meu carro canta.
Canta o seu eixo tan ben
que a señardade me espanta.
Non hai canto tan fermoso:
fino como un asubío.
Anque é, ás vegadas, saudoso,
faise, no ar, rechouchío.- Nobody is singing in the Plains
that's why my cart sings.
Its axle sings so good
that it drives off my loneliness.
There is no song so beautiful:
high-pitched as a whistle.
Albeit it is, sometimes, lonesome
in the air it becomes a tweet.
- Nobody is singing in the Plains
