Longe Lyrics in English Nuno Ribeiro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Longe by Nuno Ribeiro from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I know we have everything to work out
I know I only feel good when you're close
But now that you're not here, that's when I look back
And I know it's too good to have you here
Without you, I'm not capable, everything you give me
Makes me feel what I've never felt
Only I know what it's like to be far from you
I don't expect anyone else
Only you live in me
Verse 2
I know I want to live by your side
I know there's no past after us
But now that you're not here, that's when I look back
And I know it's too good to have you here
Without you, I'm not capable, everything you give me
Makes me feel what I've never felt
Only I know what it's like to be far from you
I don't expect anyone else
Only you live in me
Only you live in me
Only you live in me
Only I know what it's like to be far from you
Only I know what it's like to be far from you
I don't expect anyone else
Only you live in me

SONG MEANING

“Longe” – which means “Far” – is a heartfelt confession of how distance can sharpen love’s edges. Nuno Ribeiro sings from the perspective of someone who suddenly realizes that every smile, every heartbeat, and every sense of belonging is tied to the one person who is now far away. When they were together, life felt natural and effortless; once apart, every moment becomes a reminder of how extraordinary their connection really is.

The chorus repeats a touching promise: “Só eu sei o que é estar longe de ti”“Only I know what it is to be far from you.” No one else will do, and no memory of the past can compete with the future he imagines at this person’s side. The song is both a declaration of unwavering devotion and a plea to close the gap that separates them, celebrating love’s power to make us feel complete, yet showing how distance can turn that same love into an ache we carry everywhere.
