Lyrics and translation Chico Buarque - Outros Sonhos




Outros Sonhos
Other Dreams
Sonhei que o fogo gelou
I dreamt the fire turned to ice
Sonhei que a neve fervia
I dreamt the snow boiled
Sonhei que ela corava quando me via
I dreamt she blushed when she saw me
Sonhei que ao meio-dia
I dreamt at noon
Havia intenso luar
There was bright moonlight
E o povo se embevecia
And the people were captivated
Se empetecava João
As João got drunk
Se emperiquitava Maria
As Maria dressed up
Doentes do coração
People with heart disease
Dançavam na enfermaria
Danced in the infirmary
E a beleza não fenecia
And beauty did not fade
Belo e sereno era o som
Beautiful and serene was the sound
Que no morro se ouvia
That could be heard in the favela
Eu sei que o sonho era bom
I know the dream was good
Porque ela sorria
Because she was smiling
Até quando chovia
Even when it rained
Guris inertes no chão
Kids lying lifeless on the ground
Falavam de astronomia
Talked about astronomy
E me jurava o diabo
And the devil swore to me
Que Deus existia
That God existed
De mão em mão o ladrão
From hand to hand the thief
Relógios distribuía
Distributed watches
E a polícia não batia
And the police no longer beat
De noite raiava o sol
At night the sun shone
Que todo mundo aplaudia
Which everyone applauded
Maconha se comprava
You could only buy marijuana
Na tabacaria
In the tobacconist's
Drogas na drogaria
Drugs in the drugstore
Um passarinho espanhol
A Spanish bird
Cantava esta melodia
Sang this melody
E com sotaque esta letra
And with an accent this letter
De sua autoria
Of his authorship
Sonhei que o fogo gelou
I dreamt the fire turned to ice
Sonhei que a neve fervia
I dreamt the snow boiled
E por sonhar o impossível, ai
And for dreaming the impossible, oh, oh
Sonhei que tu me querias
I dreamt you wanted me
Soñé que el fuego heló
Soñé que el fuego heló
Soñé que la nieve ardía
Soñé que la nieve ardía
Y por soñar lo imposible, ay, ay
Y por soñar lo imposible, ay, ay
Soñé que me querías
Soñé que me querías
