Genius Translations
Leo Cavalcanti - Ainda Aqui Sonhando (English Translation)
The world exploding and I’m still here, dreaming of love
The world exploding and I’m still here, dreaming
Dreaming, in loneliness, my pain
Of being awash with a dream


Dams are breaking and I’m still here, longing for that love
The flames seeping everywhere and I’m burning for a dream
Some guy and his heat
So nonchalantly slide into my dreams
Dreams of love

And he doesn’t love me anymore
Why did he come in like this
So deep inside me?
So many people with no love
And me asking, please
Would he save me from myself?
And the world in flames
And it won’t be the last time
Seven billion loners
Fascism at full steam
Fear, ignorance and pain
And I just don’t know about myself
Why do I feel like this?
He already has a new love
Why does that hurt so much in me?
I thought it was love
Fascism seeping everywhere and me insisting in being a singer
People dying and I’m still here, in fear
Of being someone other than who I am
Of refusing to sing the song of my own dreams
Songs of love

As if it did not fit in me
The song that is so much needed here
In a world full of heartbreak
Fear, ignorance and pain
And me asking, please
Would he save me from myself?
And the world in flames
Fascism at full steam
And he already has a new love
Why did he come in like this
So deep inside me?
Seven billion loners
So many people without love
And it won’t be the last time
Why do I feel like lonely like this?
I thought it was love
I thought it was love
I though...

The world exploding and I’m here, dreaming
