There Was a Boy Who, Like Me, Loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones

Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones

There was a boy who, like meEra um garoto que, como eu
Loved the Beatles and the Rolling StonesAmava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
He spun the world always singingGirava o mundo sempre a cantar
The beautiful things of AmericaAs coisas lindas da América

He wasn't handsome, but stillNão era belo, mas mesmo assim
There were a thousand girls interestedHavia mil garotas a fim
He sang Help and Ticket to RideCantava Help and Ticket to Ride
Oh! Lady Jane and YesterdayOh! Lady Jane and Yesterday

He sang cheers to freedomCantava viva à liberdade
But a letter came unexpectedlyMas uma carta sem esperar
That separated him from his guitarDa sua guitarra o separou
He was drafted in AmericaFora chamado na América

Stop! With Rolling Stones!Stop! Com Rolling Stones!
Stop! With Rolling Stones!Stop! Com Rolling Stones!
Stop! With Beatles songs!Stop! Com Beatles songs!

He was sent to VietnamMandado foi ao Vietnã
To fight the Viet CongLutar com vietcongs
Tat-a-tat-aTatá-ratatá

There was a boy who, like meEra um garoto que, como eu
Loved the Beatles and the Rolling StonesAmava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
He spun the world, but it endedGirava o mundo, mas acabou
With him fighting in the Vietnam WarFazendo a guerra do Vietnã

Long hair he doesn't wear anymoreCabelos longos não usa mais
Nor does he play his guitarNem toca a sua guitarra
Instead, he plays an instrument that always givesE sim um instrumento que sempre dá
The same note rat-a-tat-tatA mesma nota ra-tá-tá-tá

He has no friends, sees no girlsNão tem amigos, não vê garotas
Just dead people lying on the groundSó gente morta caída ao chão
He won't return to his countryAo seu país não voltará
Because he's dead in VietnamPois está morto no Vietnã

Stop! With Rolling StonesStop! Com Rolling Stones
Stop! With Rolling StonesStop! Com Rolling Stones
Stop! With Beatles songsStop! Com Beatles songs
Stop! With Beatles songsStop! Com Beatles songs

In his chest, there's no heartNo peito um coração não há
But there are two medals, yesMas duas medalhas sim

Tat-a-tat-aTatá-ratatá
Rat-a-tat-tatRa-tá-tá-tá
Ta-taTá-tá
