O Dia Em Que a Terra Parou
Raul Seixas
The Day the Earth Stopped
Last night, I had a dream like a dreamer
Crazy as I am, I dreamed
Of the day the Earth stopped
Of the day the Earth stopped
It was like this
On the day when all the people
From the whole planet
Decided that no one would leave their homes
As if it was agreed all over
The planet
That day, no one left their homes, no one
The worker didn’t go to work
'Cause he knew the boss wasn’t there
The housewife didn’t go out to buy bread
'Cause she knew the baker wasn’t there
And the cop didn’t go out to arrest
'Cause he knew the thief wasn’t there
And the thief didn’t go out to steal
'Cause he knew there’d be nowhere to spend
On the day the Earth stopped (whoo)
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped
And in the churches, not a bell rang
'Cause they knew the faithful weren’t there
And the faithful didn’t go out to pray
'Cause they knew the priest wasn’t there
And the student didn’t go out to study
'Cause he knew the teacher wasn’t there
And the teacher didn’t go out to teach
'Cause he knew there was nothing left to teach
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped (whoo)
On the day the Earth stopped
The commander didn’t go to the barracks
'Cause he knew the soldier wasn’t there
And the soldier didn’t go to war
'Cause he knew the enemy wasn’t there
And the patient didn’t go for treatment
'Cause he knew the doctor wasn’t there
And the doctor didn’t go to medicate
'Cause he knew there were no more illnesses to cure
On the day the Earth stopped (oh, yeah)
On the day the Earth stopped (it was all)
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped
Last night, I had a dream like a dreamer
Crazy as I am, I woke up
On the day the Earth stopped (oh, yeah)
On the day the Earth stopped (oh-oh)
On the day the Earth stopped (I woke up)
On the day the Earth stopped (woke up)
On the day the Earth stopped (exactly)
On the day the Earth stopped (I wasn’t daydreaming)
On the day the Earth stopped (whoo)
On the day the Earth stopped (on the day the Earth stopped)
