On the day the wall came down On the day the wall came down No dia da queda do muro They threw the locks onto the ground They threw the locks onto the ground Eles jogaram as trancas no chão And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived E com vidros de alta que levantou um grito de liberdade tinha chegado On the day the wall came down On the day the wall came down No dia da queda do muro The Ship of Fools had finally run aground The Ship of Fools had finally run aground O navio dos tolos finalmente encalhado Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight Promessas iluminaram a noite como pombas de papel em vôo I dreamed you had left my side I dreamed you had left my side Sonhei que você tinha deixado meu lado No warmth, not even pride remained No warmth, not even pride remained Sem calor, nem mesmo o orgulho sobrou And even though you needed me And even though you needed me E mesmo que você precisasse de mim It was clear that I could not do a thing for you It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Ficou claro que eu não poderia fazer nada por você Now life devalues day by day Now life devalues day by day Agora a vida desvaloriza dia a dia As friends and neighbours turn away As friends and neighbours turn away Como amigos e vizinhos partem And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone E há uma mudança que, mesmo com pesar, não pode ser desfeita Now frontiers shift like desert sands Now frontiers shift like desert sands Agora turno fronteiras como areias do deserto While nations wash their bloodied hands While nations wash their bloodied hands Enquanto nações lavam suas mãos ensanguentadas Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray De lealdade, de história, em tons de cinza I woke to the sound of drums I woke to the sound of drums Acordei ao som de tambores The music played, the morning sun streamed in The music played, the morning sun streamed in A música tocava O sol da manhã entrava I turned and I looked at you I turned and I looked at you Eu me virei e olhei para você And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away E todos, mas o resíduo palhetão escapuliu ... escapuliu
