When You Wish Upon A Star
Magic Philharmonic Disney Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
the sweet fullfillment of their secret love
Oh, Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do




Woah, when you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true... mmmm

Se uma estrela aparecer

Se uma estrela aparecer
Não me esconda seu olhar
Dê a ela uma chance de brilhar
E dê asas à ilusão
Ao desejo, às vibrações
E a estrela entenderá
Seu coração

Vai acender seu raio protetor
Cobrir a luz e cor
O seu destino
Se uma estrela aparecer
Com vontade de brilhar
Junte a ela
Toda a luz do teu amor

As a Disneyland cast member, I sometimes forget I'm at Disneyland. Even when I'm at home, I don't think about it much. But then, it'll hit me that I'm living the dream of 5-12 year old me, being able to experience the sights and sounds of the greatest moments of my childhood again as an adult. I hear this song every night and sing along to it every night. But hearing this rendition and reading the comments stopped me from singing along and actually made me think back to when I was that 5-12 year old kid. Meeting the Mad Hatter and having him sign my autograph book, walking through Adventureland, riding The Haunted Mansion for the first time, or my sister on my dad's shoulders, walking down Main Street at night holding my parents' hand as we leave for the night after the fireworks and parades, and the feeling of pure happiness after a great day. The kind of happiness where you might cry, but laugh instead. The feeling that only Disney can give a person. This song gives me that feeling.

When I was a child I used to play the trumpet. I was part of a children's small orchestra and we played this piece. Hear the 3:50 part? Imagine being 8, surrounded by brass instruments and, just behind you, a kettledrum, and you're part of it, and you're all playing this with all your heart. I haven't experienced many moments that felt more intense since then.
