Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Bem no sul da louisiana , perto de Nova Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, Em meio a uma floresta entre árvores sempre verdes There stood a long cabin made of earth and wood There stood a long cabin made of earth and wood Ficava uma velha cabana feita de terra e madeira Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode, Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode, Onde vivia um caipira chamado johnny b. goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well Who never ever learned to read or write so well Que nunca havia aprendido a ler ou escrever muito bem But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell. But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell. Mas ele conseguia tocar uma guitarra como se estivesse tocando uma campainha (Chorus) (Chorus) Refrão: Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Johnny Go Go (x4) Go Johnny Go Go (x4) Go Johnny Go Go (x4) Johnny B. Goode Johnny B. Goode Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, Ele costumava carregar sua guitarra num saco de pano Go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track Go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track E ia sentar-se debaixo de uma árvore perto dos trilhos da ferrovia Oh the engineers would see him sittin in the shade, Oh the engineers would see him sittin in the shade, Um velho maquinista de trem sentado numa sombra Strummin with the rhythm that the drivers made, Strummin with the rhythm that the drivers made, Tocando acompanhando o ritmo que os motoristas faziam People passin' by they would stop and say People passin' by they would stop and say Pessoas que passassem por perto parariam e diriam "Oh my but that little country boy can play" "Oh my but that little country boy can play" Nossa, mas esse rapaz poderia se apresentar (em algum lugar) (Chorus) (Chorus) Refrão His momma told him "some day you will be a man, His momma told him "some day you will be a man, Sua mãe disse a ele "um dia você será um homem And you will be the leader of a big ol' band And you will be the leader of a big ol' band E será o líder de uma grande banda Many people comin' from miles around, Many people comin' from miles around, Muitas pessoas virão de milhas de distância ao redor To hear you play your music till the sun go down, To hear you play your music till the sun go down, Para ouví-lo tocar sua música quando o sol se puser Maybe some day your name will be in lights sayin Maybe some day your name will be in lights sayin Talvez um dia seu nome estará em letreiros luminosos 'Johnny B. Goode' tonight" 'Johnny B. Goode' tonight" Dizendo "johnny b. goode hoje a noite" (Chorus) (Chorus) Refrão
