A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke
There's an old friend that
I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew
What was up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come
Oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, brother
Could you help me, please?
He said, good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now I believe
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right
For what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
My change is come
There's an old friend that
Es gibt einen alten Freund, den
I once heard say
Ich einmal hörte sagen
Something that touched my heart
Etwas, das mein Herz berührte
And it began this way
Und es begann so
I was born by the river
Ich wurde am Fluss geboren
In a little tent
In einem kleinen Zelt
And just like the river
Und genau wie der Fluss
I've been runnin ever since
Ich bin seitdem immer gelaufen
He said it's been a long time comin'
Er sagte, es ist schon lange her
But I know my change is gonna come
Aber ich weiß, meine Veränderung wird kommen
Oh yeah
Oh ja
He said it's been too hard livin'
Er sagte, es war zu hart zu leben
But I'm afraid to die
Aber ich habe Angst zu sterben
I might not be if I knew
Ich wäre es vielleicht nicht, wenn ich wüsste
What was up there
Was dort oben ist
Beyond the sky
Jenseits des Himmels
It's been a long, a long time comin'
Es ist schon lange, schon lange her
But I know my change has got to come
Aber ich weiß, meine Veränderung muss kommen
Oh yeah
Oh ja
I went, I went to my brother
Ich ging, ich ging zu meinem Bruder
And I asked him, brother
Und ich fragte ihn, Bruder
Could you help me, please?
Könntest du mir bitte helfen?
He said, good sister
Er sagte, gute Schwester
I'd like to but I'm not able
Ich würde gerne, aber ich kann nicht
And when I, when I looked around
Und als ich, als ich mich umsah
I was right back down
Ich war gleich wieder unten
Down on my bended knees
Auf meinen gebogenen Knien
Yes I was, oh
Ja, das war ich, oh
There've been times that I thought
Es gab Zeiten, da dachte ich
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
Ich dachte, ich würde nicht lange durchhalten
But somehow right now I believe
Aber irgendwie glaube ich jetzt
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
Dass ich in der Lage bin, weiterzumachen
I tell you that it's been along
Ich sage dir, es war lange her
And oh it's been an uphill journey
Und oh, es war ein beschwerlicher Weg
All the way
Die ganze Zeit
But I know, I know, I know
Aber ich weiß, ich weiß, ich weiß
I know my change is gonna come
Ich weiß, meine Veränderung wird kommen
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Manchmal musste ich die ganze Nacht weinen
Yes I did
Ja, das habe ich getan
Sometimes
Manchmal
I had to give up right
Ich musste aufgeben
For what I knew was wrong
Für das, was ich wusste, war falsch
Yes it's been an uphill journey
Ja, es war ein beschwerlicher Weg
It's sure's been a long way comin
Es war sicher ein langer Weg
Yes it has
Ja, das war es
It's been real hard
Es war wirklich hart
Every step of the way
Jeder Schritt auf dem Weg
But I believe, I believe

Com certeza tem sido um longo caminho chegando
