Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)

ALAN JACKSON

Lyrics Translation

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
That September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin' on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones
Pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters?

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
That September day?
Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Or drivin' down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
And speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line to give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
On that September day?

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
Onde você estava quando o mundo parou de girar
That September day?
Naquele dia de setembro?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Você estava no quintal com sua esposa e filhos
Or workin' on some stage in L.A.?
Ou trabalhando em algum palco em L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Você ficou lá em choque com a visão daquela fumaça preta
Risin' against that blue sky?
Subindo contra aquele céu azul?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Você gritou com raiva, com medo do seu vizinho
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Ou você apenas se sentou e chorou?
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones
Você chorou pelas crianças, que perderam seus entes queridos
Pray for the ones who don't know?
Rezou pelos que não sabem?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
Você se alegrou pelas pessoas que saíram dos escombros
And sob for the ones left below?
E chorou pelos que ficaram abaixo?
Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue
Você explodiu de orgulho pelo vermelho, branco e azul
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
E pelos heróis que morreram apenas fazendo o que fazem?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
Você olhou para o céu em busca de alguma resposta
And look at yourself and what really matters?
E olhou para si mesmo e o que realmente importa?
I'm just a singer of simple songs
Eu sou apenas um cantor de canções simples
I'm not a real political man
Eu não sou um homem político de verdade
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
Eu assisto a CNN, mas não tenho certeza se posso te dizer
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran
A diferença entre o Iraque e o Irã
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
Mas eu conheço Jesus e eu falo com Deus
And I remember this from when I was young
E eu me lembro disso desde quando eu era jovem
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
Fé, esperança e amor são algumas coisas boas que Ele nos deu
And the greatest is love
E o maior é o amor
Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
Onde você estava quando o mundo parou de girar
That September day?
Naquele dia de setembro?
Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Ensinando uma turma cheia de crianças inocentes
Or drivin' down some cold interstate?
Ou dirigindo por alguma estrada fria?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor?
Você se sentiu culpado por ser um sobrevivente?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?

Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Você ligou para sua mãe e disse a ela que a ama?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Você tirou a poeira daquela Bíblia em casa?
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Você abriu os olhos e esperou que nunca tivesse acontecido
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Fechou os olhos e não conseguiu dormir?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
Você notou o pôr do sol pela primeira vez em anos
And speak to some stranger on the street?
E falou com algum estranho na rua?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Você se deitou à noite e pensou no amanhã
Go out and buy you a gun?
Saiu e comprou uma arma?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
Você desligou aquele violento filme antigo que estava assistindo
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
E ligou os reprises de I Love Lucy?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Você foi a uma igreja e deu as mãos a alguns estranhos
Stand in line to give your own blood?
Ficou na fila para doar seu próprio sangue?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Você apenas ficou em casa e se agarrou à sua família
Thank God you had somebody to love?
Agradeceu a Deus por ter alguém para amar?
