I Dreamed A Dream

Herbert Kretzmer, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil

Lyrics Translation

FANTINE
There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

[FANTINE]
Era uma vez um mundo em paz
E de homens gentis
Com palavras calmas
Era uma vez que o amor te trás
O que sempre esperou
Em que unem-se as almas
Era uma vez
Só que desandou
Sonhei um sonho lá atrás
Quando a esperança é que reinava
Sonhei que o amor não se desfaz
Sonhei que Deus me perdoava

Tão jovem, sem me preocupar
Os sonhos nunca eram desfeitos
Não tinha um preço a se pagar
Tinha uma vida sеm defeitos

Mas as feras vêm dеpois
Te seguindo pelo escuro
Pra esperança destruir
E teus sonhos te levar

Eu lembro dele no verão
Me prometendo algo seguro
A minha infância foi-se em vão
Pois no outono ele se foi

Mas sonho que ele voltará
Pra não vivermos separados
Mas sonhos podem te enganar
E nunca serem realizados

Sonhei que a vida iria ser
Tão diferente da que vivo
De todo o inferno que enfrentei
Se foi o sonho
Que eu sonhei

夢を見ていたわ
望み高く生きて
愛がすべてだと
神は許し給うと

若く勇気溢れ
夢は輝いてた
自由にはばたき
歓び追いかけた

夢は悪夢に
狼の牙が
望み引き裂き
夢喰いちぎり

夏 あの人来て
喜びに あふれた
私抱いたけど
秋にはもういない

待ち続けてるわ
あの人の帰りを
愚かな幻
木枯らしが吹き消し

夢見た人生
今地獄に
落ちて二度と私には
夢は かえらない
