Johnny B. Goode

Cidade Negra

Johnny B. Goode

Lá no meio da Baixada
Um gueto do Brasil
Olhando pela laje
Para o céu que se abriu
Vivia num barraco
Que seu pai lhe deu
Essa era a vida
Do Johnny B. Goode
O que ele aprendeu
Ele aprendeu com a vida
E tocava sua guitarra
Como ninguém

E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode

Carregava sua guitarra
Como um filho seu
Animava a multidão
No balanço do trem
Até o maquinista
Se envolvia também
Ali todos sabiam
Que nascia um rei

E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode

A mãe disse que ele
Tem que ser
Um homem de bem
E tocar com seus amigos
Numa reggae band
Vem chegando gente
De todo o lugar
Pra ouvir ele tocar
Até o amanhecer

E lá na área
O comentário era geral
Que Johnny vai brilhar
Além do trilho do trem

E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
E foi go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Good

E foi go, do Johnny!

Johnny B. Goode

There in the middle of Baixada
A ghetto in Brazil
Looking from the rooftop
To the sky that opened up
He lived in a shack
That his father gave him
That was the life
Of Johnny B. Goode
What he learned
He learned from life
And he played his guitar
Like no one

And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode

He carried his guitar
Like his own child
He cheered up the crowd
In the sway of the train
Even the train driver
Got involved too
Everyone there knew
That a king was born

And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode

His mother said that he
Has to be
A good man
And play with his friends
In a reggae band
People are coming
From everywhere
To hear him play
Until dawn

And there in the area
The talk was general
That Johnny will shine
Beyond the train track

And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Goode, tonight
And it was go, go Johnny
Johnny B. Good

And it was go, Johnny!
