“If I Can Dream” (Sung by Elvis, YouTube)

♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sqMcJHMM6c&feature=em-share_video_user (with lyrics) ♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA142IsjQiE (video of the King singing the song)

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 -rêver Where all my brothers walk hand in hand -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 -il doit y avoir Strong winds of promise that will blow away -des vents forts / qui souffleront/balayeront The doubt and fear -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 -nuage With too much rain

We're trapped in a world -nous sommes piégés /enfermés That's troubled with pain -affligé de douleur

But as long as a man -tant que Has the strength to dream -la force He can redeem his soul and fly -racheter son âme

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question -une question qui me fait trembler Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow - 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 -tant, aussi longtemps While I can stand, while I can walk -je peux tenir debout

While I can dream, please let my dream -laissez mon rêve se réaliser maintenant Come true... right now
