“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.
