Johnny B. Goode Lyrics Translation in English

Lá no meio da Baixada

There in the middle of Baixada

Um gueto do Brasil

A ghetto in Brazil

Olhando pela laje

Looking through the slab

Para o céu que se abriu

At the sky that opened up

Vivia num barraco

Lived in a shack

Que seu pai lhe deu

That his father gave him

Essa era a vida

That was the life

Do Johnny B. Goode

Of Johnny B. Goode

O que ele aprendeu

What he learned

Ele aprendeu com a vida

He learned from life

E tocava sua guitarra

And played his guitar

Como ninguém

Like no one else

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Goode

Johnny B. Goode

Carregava sua guitarra

Carried his guitar

Como um filho seu

Like a son

Animava a multidão

Animated the crowd

No balanço do trem

In the sway of the train

Até o maquinista

Even the conductor

Se envolvia também

Got involved too

Ali todos sabiam

There everyone knew

Que nascia um rei

That a king was born

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Goode

Johnny B. Goode

A mãe disse que ele

The mother said that he

Tem que ser

Has to be

Um homem de bem

A good man

E tocar com seus amigos

And play with his friends

Numa reggae band

In a reggae band

Vem chegando gente

People are coming

De todo o lugar

From everywhere

Pra ouvir ele tocar

To hear him play

Até o amanhecer

Until dawn

E lá na área

And there in the area

O comentário era geral

The comment was general

Que Johnny vai brilhar

That Johnny will shine

Além do trilho do trem

Beyond the train track

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

Johnny B. Goode, tonight

E foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go Johnny

Johnny B. Good

Johnny B. Good

E foi go, do Johnny!

And it was go, go Johnny!
