Dias Cinzentos Lyrics in English Nuno Ribeiro

Home / Lyrics Translation / Nuno Ribeiro / Dias Cinzentos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dias Cinzentos by Nuno Ribeiro from Portuguese to English.

I don't know if it's lack of attachment

I don't know if it's lack of love

But our feeling

Today I don't know it by heart anymore

I know we lived moments

That I'm not gonna forget

But what I once lived

Today I don't wanna live

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That my head still lives somewhere else

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That one day I'll leave and I won't come back

I won't come back anymore

Today I walk along this shore

Waiting to find myself

If it's the end of the trip

The wind will carry us away

I know we lived moments

That today I won't forget

But as time goes by

It was with nightfall

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That my head still lives somewhere else

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That one day I'll leave and I won't come back

I won't come back

Even if I miss

The gray of those afternoons

As night falls

I won't come back

Even if in your arms

With the pillow in pieces

At every sunrise

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That my head still lives somewhere else

How can I tell

The one who gives me everything

That one day I'll leave and I won't come back

SONG MEANING

Dias Cinzentos paints the bittersweet moment when you realize your heart has already packed its bags, even while your body is still at home. Nuno Ribeiro sings about strolling along a metaphorical riverbank, unsure whether the ties that once felt like love are now just echoes. The memories are real and warm, yet his mind drifts “in another place,” and he wrestles with the guilt of breaking the news to someone who still offers him “everything.”

The song captures that tug-of-war between nostalgia and freedom. Gray afternoons, torn pillows, and once-comforting hugs pull him backward, but the wind of change keeps whispering that it is time to go. Dias Cinzentos invites listeners to embrace the courage it takes to leave familiar comfort in search of genuine self-discovery, even when the sky is overcast and the road ahead is unknown.
