There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
-il doit y avoir des lumières plus brillantes
quelque part
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
-il doit y avoir
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
-rêver
-main dans la main
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true -devenir réalité
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
The doubt and fear
-il doit y avoir
-des vents forts / qui souffleront/balayeront
-craintes
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
-l’espoir continue à briller
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
-nuage
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
-nous sommes piégés/enfermés
-affligé de douleur
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
-tant que
-la force
-racheter son âme
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
-une question qui me fait trembler
- néanmoins / d’une manière ou d’une autre
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
-là-bas dans l’obscurité/une bougie qui nous
appelle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
-tant, aussi longtemps
-je peux tenir debout
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true... right now
-laissez mon rêve se réaliser maintenant
