“Todos Os Dias” is a heartfelt confession of everyday longing. Paulo Sousa sings from the perspective of someone who wakes up and goes to sleep repeating the same mantra: “I love you, I want you, I call you – and I’m still waiting.” Through vivid memories of shared embraces and gentle kisses, he celebrates the warmth that once melted his “invernos” (winters) while also revealing the chill that followed the breakup. The chorus acts like a daily diary entry, showing how the beloved remains the singer’s only topic of thought, the single thread keeping him anchored to life.
Yet beneath the tenderness lies a quiet desperation. The narrator questions his own existence without this person, wonders who she cries for at night, and hides the pain of being left “sem ar” (without air). In just a few lines, Paulo Sousa captures the push-and-pull of love and loss: the sweetness of what was, the emptiness of what is, and the stubborn hope that tomorrow might bring them back together. The song pulses with Portuguese saudade – that uniquely bittersweet blend of nostalgia and yearning – making every repetition of “Todos os dias” feel both comforting and haunting at the same time.
