I dreamed a dream in time gone by I dreamed a dream in time gone by Houve um tempo quando os homens eram amáveis When hopes were high and life worth living, When hopes were high and life worth living, Quando suas vozes eram suaves I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that love would never die E suas palavras convidativas. I dreamed that God would be forgiving. I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Houve um tempo quando o amor era cego E o mundo era uma canção The I was young and unafraid, The I was young and unafraid, E a canção era excitante. When dreams were made and used and wasted. When dreams were made and used and wasted. Houve um tempo ... então tudo deu errado There was no ransom to be payed, There was no ransom to be payed, No song unsung, no wine untasted. No song unsung, no wine untasted. Eu sonhei um sonho num tempo que se foi Quando as esperanças eram elevadas e valia a pena viver But the tigers come at night, But the tigers come at night, Eu sonhei que o amor nunca morreria With their voices soft as thunder, With their voices soft as thunder, Eu sonhei que Deus seria indulgente. As they tear your hope apart As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dreams to shame As they turn your dreams to shame Eu era jovem e destemido, Quando os sonhos eram realizados e usados e desperdiçados. And still I dreamed he'd come to me And still I dreamed he'd come to me Não houve resgate a ser pago, And we would live the years together, And we would live the years together, Nenhum desconhecido canção, nem vinho não degustado. But there are dreams that cannot be But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather. And there are storms we cannot weather. Mas os tigres vêm à noite, Com suas vozes suaves como trovão, I had a dream my life would be I had a dream my life would be Como eles despedaçam sua esperança So different from this hell I'm living So different from this hell I'm living Enquanto eles tornam seus sonhos em vergonha So different now from what it seemed So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream Now life has killed the dream Ele dormiu um verão ao meu lado. I dreamed. I dreamed. Ele preencheu meus dias com maravilhas sem fim, Ele levou minha infância em seu passo
