Verse one: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream,
I say to you today, my friends,
So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up (rise up…)
(One day, rise up…)
Verse Two: LôAndré
Digo-lhes hoje, meus amigos,
Embora nos defrontemos com as dificuldades de hoje e de amanhã,
Que eu ainda tenho um sonho.
E um sonho profundamente enraizado no sonho Africano. (Uh, yeah…)
Eu tenho um sonho de que um dia,
Esta nação se erguerá e viverá o verdadeiro significado de seus princípios: "Achamos que estas verdades são evidentes por elas mesmas, que todos os homens são criados iguais".
Verse three: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream, that one day,
On the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
Will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
(I have a dream, that one day)
Chorus: LôAndré
A dream
I have a dream
One day
Verse four: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a dream that one day,
Down in Alabama,
With its vicious racists,
With its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama,
Little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
