Cadeira Vazia

Come in, my love, make yourself at home
And tell me honestly what you want from me
Come in, come in, the house is yours
Since you're tired of living on the streets
And your dreams have come to an end

I suffered so much when you left
I spent so many hours sad
That I don't even want to remember that day
But one thing you can be sure of
That in its 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'm your daddy
That has been alone here for so long
Waiting for your affection

You're back, you're fine, I'm glad
You just found me very different
I will tell you from the bottom of my heart
I will not give you affection or love
But to shelter you, you can occupy my roof
To feed you, you can eat my bread
