O Dia em que a Terra Parou [English translation]

Tonight I had a

Dreamer's dream

Crazy as I am, I dreamed

With the day the earth stood still

With the day the earth stood still

It was like this

On the day that everyone

On the planet

Decided that no one was going to leave home

As if it were combined

All over the planet

On that day, nobody left home, nobody

The employee didn't go out to work

'Cause he knew that the boss was not there either

Housewife didn't go out to buy bread

'Cause she knew that the baker was not there either

And the guard didn't go out to arrest

'Cause he knew that the thief was not there either

And the thief didn't go out to steal

'Cause he knew he would not have anywhere to spend

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

And in the Churches the bells didn't toll

'Cause they knew that the faithful were not there either

And the faithful didn't go out to pray

'Cause they knew that the priest was not there either

And the student didn't go out to study

'Cause he knew the teacher was not there either

And the teacher didn't go out to teach

'Cause he knew he had nothing else to teach

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

The commander didn't go out to the barracks

'Cause he knew that the soldier was not there either

And the soldier didn't go out to war

'Cause he knew that the enemy was not there either

And the patient didn't go out for treatment

'Cause he knew the doctor was not there either

And the doctor didn't go out to medicate

'Cause he knew he had no more disease to heal

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

Tonight I had a dreamer's dream

Crazy as I am, I woke up

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still (I woke up)

In the day the earth stood still (woke up)

In the day the earth stood still (just)

In the day the earth stood still (I didn't dream awake)

In the day the earth stood still

In the day the earth stood still (in the day the earth stood still)
