Não Me Deixes Ir Lyrics in English Paulo Sousa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Me Deixes Ir by Paulo Sousa from Portuguese to English.
Let the body fall unsure, you're so close
Let the soul leave the heart
Only the love you have in you heals the pain I have in me
Your kiss is more than seduction
Don't let me go
I promise I won't fail
Maybe hope is the last to die
Or else I'm such a kid that only this way I know how to live
Deluded that the distance between us will disappear
Maybe hope is the last to die
May it be the last to die
My world stays in you and in you it'll remain
Let the body fall into your hands
Don't let me go
I promise I won't fail
Maybe hope is the last to die
Or else I'm such a kid that only this way I know how to live
Deluded that the distance between us will disappear
Maybe hope is the last to die
Die
Don't let me go
I promise I won't fail
Maybe hope is the last to die
Or else I'm such a kid that only this way I know how to live

SONG MEANING

Não Me Deixes Ir invites us into a cinematic moment where someone is on the verge of losing the love that keeps their world turning. Paulo Sousa sings with his heart on his sleeve, begging his partner to stay: if she lets her body fall toward him and frees her soul, her love will heal the hurt he carries. One kiss becomes more than seduction — it is salvation.

Beneath the romantic plea beats a childlike faith that love can conquer any obstacle. The singer promises he will not fail, clings to the idea that hope is the last to die, and imagines the distance between them simply vanishing. The chorus loops like a mantra, mirroring his stubborn optimism. The result is a tender pop ballad about vulnerability, commitment, and the belief that hanging on to each other can keep an entire world from falling apart.
