punho estremecido


Explanation:

"fist" meio que rima com "this", da frase anterior:
It’s only in dreams you can do this.
Waking, your heart is a shaken fist>,


Não consegui a rima ideal, mas o par "isso"/"estremecido" talvez seja uma boa alternativa:

Apenas no sonho podemos fazer isso
Acordados, nosso coração é como um punho estremecido


Espero que ajude!

Another suggestion;

A heart pounds (lateja), so why not a fist :)

punho cerrado


Explanation:
Para mim "shaken" neste caso significa + ou - o mesmo que "clenched".
