Assim Já Não Vai Dar Lyrics in English Nuno Ribeiro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Assim Já Não Vai Dar by Nuno Ribeiro from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I still haven't told you
What I had to give you
But whoever loves persists
And today I'm gonna tell you
That I don't forget the moments
You said were meant to last
Regrets
I don't even wanna remember anymore
You don't talk to me anymore
I don't look at you anymore
This way it won't work
Verse 2
I still haven't told you
How much I wanted to fight
But whoever loves persists
And today I'm gonna tell you
That I don't forget the moments
You said were meant to last
Regrets
I don't even wanna remember anymore
You don't talk to me anymore
I don't look at you anymore
This way it won't work
Bridge
I think about us
Even if I don't wanna
Bridge
But not the same way
As some time ago
This way it won't work
You don't talk to me anymore
I don't look at you anymore
This way it won't work
You don't talk to me anymore
I don't look at you anymore
This way it won't work

SONG MEANING

"Assim Já Não Vai Dar" literally translates to "It can’t go on like this" and captures that exact moment when love’s stubborn hope meets the harsh wall of silence. Nuno Ribeiro, the Polish-born artist who sings in Portuguese, tells a story of someone who still has so much to give, so much to say, yet finds the conversation cut short. Throughout the lyrics we feel the push-and-pull: Quem ama persiste ("the one who loves keeps trying") contrasts with the resigned refrain Já não falas para mim / Já não olho para ti. The song paints snapshots of memories that were supposed to last forever, now fading into “arrependimentos” (regrets) the singer would rather forget.

Despite its catchy rhythm, the track is a bittersweet anthem about realizing that fighting alone is not enough. The repeated title line is both a confession and a final verdict: communication has broken, feelings have cooled, and the relationship can no longer survive in its current state. Listeners are left humming a melody that’s upbeat on the surface yet deeply relatable underneath, reminding us that love sometimes ends not with a bang but with an unreturned message.
