E Agora Lyrics in English by SYRO

Home / Lyrics translation / SYRO / E Agora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song E Agora by SYRO from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

I remember

Who I was

When there wasn't yet

Reason in me

Given to you

Mom

I see you

In who I am

When I look at myself in the mirror

No, I won't lie

You're part of me

Dad

But if you look back, you'll see

That growing up wasn't always good

And I lacked the strength to say

I just wanted to have you by my side

You should've been there

And now

Knowing about the cold outside

The rain doesn't wet me anymore

And the pain that gnaws and devours

Is gone

I remember

And I thank you for the love you gave me

Was it always sincere?

And if one day we go back to zero

I'll wait for you here

Verse 2

I lie down

Split in two

By wars that aren't ours

And I remember you

So little

My sister

I swore I would

That I'm here

And if today I'm strong

I did it for you

I keep you inside me

I stayed

And if you look back, you'll see

That growing up wasn't always good

And I lacked the strength to say

I just wanted to have you by my side

You should've been there

And now

Knowing about the cold outside

The rain doesn't wet me anymore

And the pain that gnaws and devours

Is gone

I remember

And I thank you for the love you gave me

Was it always sincere?

And if one day we go back to zero

I'll wait for you here

I'm honest and I just want

To mend the past

And I wait, I despair

One day by your side

Bridge

And now

Knowing about the cold outside

The rain doesn't wet me anymore

And the pain that gnaws and devours

Is gone

And now

Knowing about the cold outside

The rain doesn't wet me anymore

And the pain that gnaws and devours

Is gone

I remember

And I thank you for the love you gave me

Was it always sincere?

And if one day we go back to zero

I'll wait for you here

I'm honest and I just want

To mend the past

And I wait, I despair

One day by your side

rói — gnaws / eats away

Rói comes from the verb roer, meaning to gnaw or to eat away at something. It's a vivid and somewhat intense verb that you don't encounter in every song, making it quite memorable.

In the context of the song, the lyric "A dor que rói e devora" (The pain that gnaws and devours) uses rói metaphorically to describe a deep, persistent emotional pain. It paints a powerful image of sorrow slowly consuming the singer, highlighting the depth of their past struggles.

E Agora is SYRO’s heartfelt time-machine into his own childhood. Singing in Portuguese, the Scottish artist leafs through family snapshots: a baby cradled by his mother, a teenager noticing his father’s traits in the mirror, an older brother promising protection to his little sister. Each memory is bittersweet. Growing up was messy, words were left unsaid, and sometimes the people he loved simply weren’t there. Yet the chorus bursts with relief: the rain no longer soaks him, the pain that once “gnawed and devoured” has finally walked away.

Beneath the tender nostalgia lies a hopeful mission. SYRO is ready to mend the past, to forgive and be forgiven, to start from “zero” if it means standing side by side with his family again. The song moves from regret to resilience, showing that love can outlast absence and that healing begins the moment we dare to speak our truth.
