Diferença Lyrics in English ATOA

Home / Lyrics Translation / ATOA / Diferença

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diferença by ATOA from Portuguese to English.

You want to end everything, I know

I can see it on your face

You think I never cried

Hours on end locked inside the house

You feel like you don't belong anywhere

You feel like you're no longer needed

It feels like the day never ends

But that's the pain that wipes you out

Look at me, see what I went through

Everything you feel

I felt it too

When you look at yourself

You see nobody anymore

But your presence

Makes all the difference

I feel you slipping through my fingers

Don't lose to your fears

Because your presence

Makes all the difference

I hit rock bottom

I felt like it was the end

I wanted to end everything

And run away from here

Every day

It was me against myself

Until someone showed up

To pull me out of there

I know

You think about giving up on life

Keep a cool head

Don't let the wound reopen

One day it'll be you here

To lift whoever falls

And do for someone

What they've already done for me

Look at me, see what I went through

Everything you feel

I felt it too

When you look at yourself

You see nobody anymore

But your presence

Makes all the difference

I feel you slipping through my fingers

Don't lose to your fears

Because your presence

Makes all the difference

Look at me, see what I went through

Everything you feel

I felt it too

When you look at yourself

You see nobody anymore

One day you'll be the one saving somebody

When you look at yourself

You see nobody anymore

But your presence

Makes all the difference

I feel you slipping through my fingers

Don't lose to your fears

Because your presence

Makes all the difference

SONG MEANING

Diferença feels like an emotional pep-talk set to music. ATOA sings directly to someone who is ready to give up, reading every silent tear and locked-bedroom hour. The verses paint dark moments of feeling useless and invisible, yet the chorus flashes a bright neon sign that says “Your presence makes all the difference.” That simple line flips the song from sorrow to stubborn hope, reminding us that just being here can change someone’s world.

In the second half, the singer pulls back the curtain on her own past: she once hit rock bottom, fought daily battles with herself, and was rescued by a caring hand. Now she offers the same lifeline, promising that the listener will one day be the rescuer too. Wrapped in uplifting pop energy, Diferença is a heartfelt promise that pain is temporary, support is real, and your story is still being written.
