A Guerra Dos Meninos
Roberto Carlos
The War of the Boys
Today I had a dream that was the most beautiful
That I've ever dreamed in my life
I dreamed that everyone was worried
Trying to find a way out
When someone knocked on my door
Without it opening, they walked in
And it was something so divine, light in the form of a boy
That a song taught me
La…la..la
In innocence, there was wisdom
Of simplicity, and it told me
That everything is stronger when everyone sings
The same song, and that I should
Teach everyone around
And as many as could hear
And the faith in every heart, in the strength of that song
Would be heard up in heaven by God
La…la…la
And I left singing my little anthem
When I saw someone else was singing too
I saw my hope in the voice of a boy
Who smiled and sang along with me
Others who were playing further away
Stopped to join in the fun
And that peace brigade kept growing
Where already more than a hundred marched
La…la…la
From all places, they came by the thousands
And in no time, they were millions
Invading streets, fields, and cities
Spreading love to every heart
In response, the sky lit up
An immense light appeared
The bells rang loud, the sounds were divine
The long-awaited peace finally came
Enemies embraced and celebrated together
The greatest good, peace, love, and God
La…la…la
