Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick Letras A Friday night affair A Friday night affair Uma noite sexta-feira de casos amorosos, Out in the city heat Out in the city heat fora no calor da cidade, Always a party there Always a party there sempre há uma festa lá, Along the sordid street Along the sordid street ao longo da rua sórdida, And it was guaranteed And it was guaranteed e isso era garantido, The place to be was Rocketown The place to be was Rocketown o lugar para se estar era a Cidade do Rock. The drinks were two for one The drinks were two for one Os drinks eram dois pra um, Inside the crowded bars Inside the crowded bars dentro dos bares lotados. The girls would make their run The girls would make their run As garotas podiam fazer suas rondas, Out on the boulevard Out on the boulevard ao longo das ruas arborizadas, It was the idol place It was the idol place esse era o lugar adorado, We lived the ways of Rocketown We lived the ways of Rocketown nós vivíamos no modo da Cidade do Rock. Hang around by the street light Hang around by the street light Pendurado em volta da rua de luz In the heart of the night life In the heart of the night life no coração da vida da noite. There came a certain man There came a certain man Veio um certo homem, A stranger to the crowd A stranger to the crowd um estranho para a multidão, We didn't understand We didn't understand eles não entendiam, What he was all about What he was all about o que ele era. He walked a different pace He walked a different pace Ele andava de um modo diferente, So out of place in Rocketown So out of place in Rocketown fora do lugar da cidade do rock. They made a fool of him They made a fool of him Eles o fizeram de bobo, They teased him when he'd speak They teased him when he'd speak eles o provocaram quando ele falava. But when they knocked him down But when they knocked him down Mas quando eles o agrediram He'd turn the other cheek He'd turn the other cheek ele virou a outra face. He told me I could find He told me I could find Ele disse que eu poderia encontrar A life outside of Rocketown A life outside of Rocketown vida fora da cidade do rock.. hang around by the street light hang around by the street light Ande na rua iluminada, In the heart of the night life In the heart of the night life no coração da vida noturna. Chorus: Chorus: refrão What was his mission What was his mission Qual era sua missão? Where was he going Where was he going Onde ele estava indo? Why was his heart light Why was his heart light Por que a luz do seu coração estava Always glowing Always glowing sempre brilhando? All I was missing All I was missing Tudo o que faltava em mim, He stood there holding He stood there holding ele tinha com ele. What was his secret What was his secret Qual era seu segredo? Could I know it Could I know it Eu poderia saber isso? Some didn't like him near Some didn't like him near Alguns não o quiseram por perto, Some laughed and turned away Some laughed and turned away alguns sorriram e não deram bola. But me, I longed to hear But me, I longed to hear Mas eu ansiei por ouvir, All that he had to say All that he had to say tudo o que ele tinha a dizer, He had a peace of mind He had a peace of mind ele tinha uma paz na mente, I couldn't find in Rocketown I couldn't find in Rocketown eu não encontraria na Cidade do Rock. and when I reached down inside me and when I reached down inside me E quando eu alcancei no fundo de mim, I could feel the emptiness I could feel the emptiness eu podia sentir o vazio. Chorus Chorus refrão He said it's in the heart He said it's in the heart Ele disse está no seu coração, This change that comes to be This change that comes to be esta mudança que está por vir, Now he had done his part Now he had done his part como ele fez sua parte, The choice was up to me The choice was up to me a escolha final foi minha. As we were standing there As we were standing there Enquanto estávamos lá He said a prayer for Rocketown He said a prayer for Rocketown e rezou por mim e pela Cidade do Rock. As we were standing there As we were standing there Enquanto estávamos lá He said a prayer for Rocketown He said a prayer for Rocketown e rezou por mim e pela Cidade do Rock. As we were standing there As we were standing there Enquanto estávamos lá He said a prayer for Rocketown He said a prayer for Rocketown e rezou por mim e pela Cidade do Rock. He walked off silently He walked off silently Ele caminhou silenciosamente And prayed for me And prayed for me Ele rezou por mim And Rocketown... And Rocketown... E por Rocktown Chorus Chorus Refrão
