Cadeira Vazia
Lupicínio Rodrigues
Empty Chair
Come in, my love, make yourself at home
And tell me sincerely what you desire from me
Come in, you can enter, the house is yours
Since you got tired of living on the street
And your dreams came to an end
I suffered too much when you left
I spent so many sad hours
That I don't even want to remember that day
But one thing you can be sure of
Your place here at my table
Your chair is still empty
You are the prodigal daughter who returns
Looking at my door
What the world didn't give you
And pretend that I am your little daddy
Who has been alone here for so long
Waiting for your affection
You came back, you're fine, I'm happy
But you found me very different
I'll tell you with all my heart
I won't give you affection or love
But to shelter you can occupy my roof
To feed you, you can eat my bread.
