Eu hoje acordei pensando
Today I woke up thinking
Num sonho que eu tive a noite
About a dream I had last night
Sentei-me na cama para pensar
I sat on the bed to ponder
No sonho que eu tive
About the dream I had
No sonho que eu tive
About the dream I had
No sonho que eu tive
About the dream I had
Fiquei tanto tempo pensando
I spent so much time thinking
Em tudo que estive sonhando
About everything I was dreaming
Que por um momento
That for a moment
pensei ser verdade
I thought it was true
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
Sonhei que entrei
I dreamed that I entered
no quintal do vizinho
the neighbor's yard
E plantei uma flor
And planted a flower
No dia seguinte ele estava sorrindo
The next day he was smiling
Dizendo que a primavera chegou
Saying that spring has arrived
E quando eu abri a janela
And when I opened the window
Estava um dia tão lindo
It was such a beautiful day
No outro quintal
In the other yard
O vizinho sorrindo
The neighbor is smiling
Lembrei do meu sonho
I remembered my dream
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O Sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
(...)
(...)
E quando eu abri a janela
And when I opened the window
O dia estava tão lindo
The day was so beautiful
No outro quintal
In the other yard
Meu vizinho sorrindo
My neighbor is smiling
Lembrei do meu sonho
I remembered my dream
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O Sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O Sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
O sonho que eu tive
The dream that I had
