Abrigo Lyrics in English Diogo Piçarra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Abrigo by Diogo Piçarra from Portuguese to English.
I know I don't have
Reasons so I can
Show you what I feel is real
And even if I tell you
Whatever it is
Truth or lie
I never valued you
And now I'd give you my life
Because I'll never leave you
I never see myself in a life without you
Everything I see, what I see in you
Is everything I see in me
Because I'll never leave you, I don't wish you
Anything less than everything
Hey
You're my shelter
Ahhh
And without you I can't
You're my shelter
And without you I can't
It's always so rare that I'm
Everything you want me to be
It's always so good when you let
Me see you just as you are, without
I never leave you like that, no
After everything I've done, no
Because I'll never leave you
I never see myself in a life without you
Everything I see, what I see in you
Is everything I see in me
I never leave you, I don't wish you
Anything less than everything
Hey
You're my shelter
Ahhh
And without you I can't
You're my shelter
And without you I can't
You're my shelter
And without you I can't
I'd rather be alone
Than not have you with me
I know I don't have
Reasons so I can
Show you what I feel is real
And even if I tell you
Because you're my shelter
And without you I can't
You're my shelter
And without you I can't
I don't care who I'm with
You're not here anymore, but nothing changed
It doesn't matter who I'm with
Now you come back, everything came back

SONG MEANING

Diogo Piçarra’s “Abrigo” is an intimate confession wrapped in a smooth Portuguese pop melody. From the first line, the singer admits his past mistakes, recognizing that he once failed to give his partner the value they deserved. Now he lays his heart on the table, repeating the tender refrain “Tu és o meu abrigo” (You are my shelter). In this song, “shelter” means much more than a physical place, it is a symbol of emotional safety, comfort, and belonging. He is ready to give his whole life, chooses loneliness over being without this person, and sees their qualities mirrored in himself.

The lyrics move between regret and hope. On one hand, he admits he may not have enough reasons to prove that his feelings are real, and he struggles with whether his words might sound like truth or lies. On the other, every line pulses with the determination to stay, protect, and love. By the end, it becomes clear: even if circumstances change or new people enter the picture, nothing alters the deep connection he feels. “Abrigo” is a heartfelt promise that love, once recognized, becomes a refuge strong enough to weather any storm.
