Outros Sonhos

I dreamed that the fire frozeSonhei que o fogo gelou
I dreamed that the snow was boilingSonhei que a neve fervia
I dreamed that she blushedSonhei que ela corava
When she saw meQuando me via
I dreamed that at noonSonhei que ao meio-dia
There was intense moonlightHavia intenso luar
And the people were enchantedE o povo se embevecia
João was getting fancySe empetecava João
Maria was getting dolled upSe emperiquitava Maria
Heart patientsDoentes do coração
Were dancing in the infirmaryDançavam na enfermaria
And beauty did not fadeE a beleza não fenecia

Beautiful and serene was the soundBelo e sereno era o som
That could be heard on the hillQue lá no morro se ouvia
I know the dream was goodEu sei que o sonho era bom
Because she was smilingPorque ela sorria
Even when it rainedAté quando chovia
Motionless kids on the groundGuris inertes no chão
Talked about astronomyFalavam de astronomia
And the devil swore to meE me jurava o diabo
That God existedQue Deus existia
Thief by thief, watchesDe mão em mão o ladrão
Were being handed outRelógios distribuía
And the police no longer struckE a polícia já não batia

At night, the sun roseDe noite raiava o sol
That everyone applaudedQue todo mundo aplaudia
Marijuana was only boughtMaconha só se comprava
At the tobacco shopNa tabacaria
Drugs at the pharmacyDrogas na drogaria
A Spanish birdUm passarinho espanhol
Sang this melodyCantava esta melodia
And with an accent, this letterE com sotaque esta letra
Of his own authorshipDe sua autoria
I dreamed that the fire frozeSonhei que o fogo gelou
I dreamed that the snow was boilingSonhei que a neve fervia
And for dreaming the impossible, ohE por sonhar o impossível, ai
I dreamed that you wanted meSonhei que tu me querias

I dreamed that the fire frozeSoñé que el fuego heló
I dreamed that the snow was boilingSoñé que la nieve ardía
And for dreaming the impossible, oh, ohY por soñar lo imposible, ay, ay
I dreamed that you wanted meSoñé que tú me querías
