Johnny B. Goode

There in the middle of BaixadaLá no meio da Baixada
A ghetto in BrazilUm gueto do Brasil
Looking from the rooftopOlhando pela laje
To the sky that opened upPara o céu que se abriu
He lived in a shackVivia num barraco
That his father gave himQue seu pai lhe deu
That was the lifeEssa era a vida
Of Johnny B. GoodeDo Johnny B. Goode
What he learnedO que ele aprendeu
He learned from lifeEle aprendeu com a vida
And he played his guitarE tocava sua guitarra
Like no oneComo ninguém

And it was go, go JohnnyE foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go JohnnyE foi go, go Johnny

He carried his guitarCarregava sua guitarra
Like his own childComo um filho seu
He cheered up the crowdAnimava a multidão
In the sway of the trainNo balanço do trem
Even the train driverAté o maquinista
Got involved tooSe envolvia também
Everyone there knewAli todos sabiam
That a king was bornQue nascia um rei

And it was go, go JohnnyE foi go, go Johnny

And it was go, go JohnnyE foi go, go Johnny
