Cadeira Cativa (Ao Vivo) — English translation

Zé Neto & Cristiano · portuguese → English

What "Cadeira Cativa (Ao Vivo)" means

A playful, warm sertanejo-style song about two close friends who know each other better than most couples but have never dated. The singer proposes a deal: if neither finds their true love by a set deadline, such as turning thirty or even this Friday, they should simply get together. Until then, he keeps a reserved seat for her in his life. The mood is flirty, easygoing and affectionate, built around a catchy repeated promise.

Desde que a gente se viu
Ever since we first laid eyes on each other
A gente preferiu deixar que o tempo
We preferred to let time
Dite as regras desse jogo
Dictate the rules of this game
Pelo jeito que você sorriu
By the way you flashed that smile
