Eu Tive um Sonho (I Dreamed a Dream)

There was a time of good men
Of kind words

And gentle voices
There was a time of other gifts
And so many songs
And so many memories
And much more
That is no longer there

I had a dream to live
A dream full of hope
That a love won't die
And God forgives and does not tire

I was strong, without fear
And the dreams were real
They had no price, no value
Songs and sounds throughout the city

But then the night fell
And in the night, so many beasts
That trampled my garden
Everything I dreamed

It was in a summer that he appeared
As if it were spring
And love blossomed in me
But he left and I stayed

And today I dream that he comes
And in his arms I surrender
But I know it's a dream and nothing more
Of the old dreams that I carry

I had a dream to live
But life was stronger
And suddenly I woke up
They killed everything I dreamed
