My comment:

Saudade is a noun meaning "longing" or "bittersweet longing" or sometimes "nostalgia". Tenho saudades de voce, means "I miss you". Just "saudades" is kind of a short goodbye form in letters, rather like "missing you"

Made a mistake in my last answer. It says that emiline misses the person that she is writting to.

My comment:

saudades doesn't have any real type of tranlation because it is only said in Portuguese. If it is to a boy/girlfriend it means i miss you but in a loving type of way, but if it is to a friend it is i miss being with you because of all the things we arent doing. It doesnt have a real translation.

My references:

The reference is an English Translation teacher that i have had and that we have seen in class.
