Se Eu Soubesse Lyrics in English by David Carreira, Tony Carreira
Abrigo literally translates to "shelter" or "coat". It's a comforting and evocative word that goes beyond its literal meaning in this song.
In the lyrics, the singer uses abrigo to describe the emotional solace and protection found in a loved one. Phrases like "Meu abrigo em qualquer um dos meus caminhos" (My shelter in any of my paths) highlight the deep sense of security and comfort the person provides, making it a beautiful metaphor for emotional refuge.
"Se Eu Soubesse," which translates to "If I Knew," is a touching duet between Portuguese artist David Carreira and his real-life father, Tony Carreira. The song is a beautiful conversation between a father and son, expressing their deep love and appreciation for each other. They sing about finding guidance, comfort, and a safe place—an "abrigo" (shelter)—in one another.
The lyrics reveal a shared wish to stop time, to hold onto their precious moments forever. Both father and son express how lucky they feel to have each other, seeing themselves reflected in the other. It's a powerful declaration of unconditional love, where they acknowledge that in a world of uncertainty, their love for each other is the one thing that is "sempre certo" (always certain).
