Pentear macacos (to comb monkeys): the expression "vai pentear macacos (go comb some monkeys) is used to ward off someone being annoying or inconvenient.

To certain extent, yes. In Romanian, because is a language where the context means a lot “dor” can be translated in a multitude of ways. It can mean longing, nostalgia after a loved person/place/ moment/event etc. or an aspiration/ desire (in Ro also more used as "dorință"), wanderlust(e.g. "dor de ducă), pain caused by falling in love, physical pain and so on. I believe in Portuguese "saudade" refers mainly to a feeling of longing, right?
Not 100% sure if is etymologically related with the word "dor", but we also have “doină” which is a lyrical poetry specific to folklore that is usually accompanied by a musical tune. It is a literary creation that can express feelings of pain, mourning or love.
The tune sounds something like this:

and while we also have "dor" with the same spelling as in Romanian, it just means pain.

In Romanian “dor” can sometimes only mean physical pain as well, maintaining the original Latin meaning. For example if one says: "Mă dor picioarele", it means “My feet hurt”.

A funny one I like is "é uma casa a arder" (it's a house on fire), meaning the situation's a complete mess.

In Spanish "a complete mess" would be "una jaula de grillos" (a cage of crickets).
