The Impossible Dream - Elvis Presley

The Impossible Dream


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better afar than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
The reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

O Sonho Impossível

Sonhar o sonho impossível

Combater o inimigo imbatível

Suportar uma dor insuportável

Ir aonde os corajosos não se atrevem ir

Corrigir o erro incorrigível

Ser muito melhor do que se é

Tentar com os braços exaustos

Alcançar a estrela inalcançável

Esta é minha busca, seguir aquela estrela

Não importa quão sem esperança

Não importa quão distante

Lutar pelos direitos

Sem perguntar ou descansar

Estar disposto a marchar para o inferno

Por uma causa divina

Sei que somente sendo sincero

Nesta gloriosa busca

Que meu coração ficará em paz e calmo

Quando eu me deitar no descanso final

E o mundo seria melhor por isto

Que um homem desprezado e coberto de cicatrizes

Ainda luta com o que resta de sua coragem

Para alcançar a estrela inalcançável
