Deixa-me sonhar (só mais uma vez) was the Portuguese entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in Riga performed by Rita Guerra, the sister of Susana Guerra, a future Portuguese entrant. The song is a ballad, with Guerra telling her lover that he can take almost everything else when he goes, as long as he leaves her the ability to "dream one more time" and imagine that she is still in a relationship with him.
It was performed 7th on the night following Bosnia and Herzegovina and preceding Croatia. At the close of voting, it finished in 22nd place with 13 points.

Leva o sol, leva o mar
Leva contigo a luz do meu luar
Leva o amanhecer, do céu leva a cor
Deixa o anoitecer e a minha dor, e a minha dor
Mas quando fores
Deixa-me sonhar só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Faz-me acreditar só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti
Leva o ar que eu respiro
Deixa a minha vida sem sentido
Leva o meu sorriso, o meu coração
Leva o meu destino na tua mão, na tua mão
So when you're gone
I'll keep the dream alive only one more day
Believe you're by my side, right here close to me
Help me to survive only one more day
Say I'm still the one, and I'll always be
And if time lingers on
In your arms will be the place I belong
Oh...
Keep the dream alive only one more day
Believe you're by my side, all I ever need
Help me to survive only one more day
Say I'm still the one, and I'll always be[1]
Take the sun, take the sea
Take with you the light of my moonlight
Take the dawning, from the sky take the colour
Leave the nightfall and my pain, and my pain
But when you go
Let me dream only one more time
And think you're going to stay always beside me
Make me believe only one more time
That I'm still everything to you
Take the air that I breathe
Leave my life without sense
Take my smile, my heart
Take my destiny in your hand, in your hand
