I guess I tried to show you how I guess I tried to show you how Acho que tentei mostrar-lhe como I'd take the crowd with my guitar I'd take the crowd with my guitar Eu levaria a multidão com minha guitarra And business men would clap their hands And business men would clap their hands E os homens de negócios bateriam palmas And clip another fat cigar And clip another fat cigar E acenderiam outro charuto And publishers would spread the news And publishers would spread the news E os editores divulgariam as notícias And print my music far and wide And print my music far and wide E imprimiriam minha música em toda parte And all the kids who played the blues And all the kids who played the blues E todas as crianças que tocaram o blues Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide Aprenderiam meus licks com um slide de garrafa But now it seems the bubble's burst But now it seems the bubble's burst Mas agora parece o estourar da bolha Although you know there was a time Although you know there was a time Embora você saiba, houve um tempo When love songs gathered in my head When love songs gathered in my head Quando canções de amor se juntaram na minha cabeça With poetry in every line With poetry in every line Com poesia em todas as linhas And strong men strove to hold the doors And strong men strove to hold the doors E os homens fortes se esforçaram para segurar as portas While with my friends I passed the age While with my friends I passed the age Enquanto com meus amigos eu passei a idade When people stomped on dirty floors When people stomped on dirty floors Quando as pessoas pisaram em pisos sujos Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage Antes de pisar o palco do rock'n'roll I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone Agradeço ao homem que está no telefone And if he has the time to spend And if he has the time to spend E se ele tiver tempo pra gastar The problem I'll explain once more The problem I'll explain once more O problema que vou explicar mais uma vez And indicate a sum to lend And indicate a sum to lend E indique uma soma para emprestar That ten percent is now a joke That ten percent is now a joke Que dez por cento agora é uma piada Maybe thirty, even thirty-five Maybe thirty, even thirty-five Talvez trinta, até trinta e cinco I'll say my daddy's had a stroke I'll say my daddy's had a stroke Eu direi que meu pai teve um acidente vascular cerebral He'd have one now, if he only was alive He'd have one now, if he only was alive Ele teria um agora, se ele estivesse apenas vivo I like the way you look at me I like the way you look at me Eu gosto da maneira como você me olha You're laughing too down there inside You're laughing too down there inside Você também está rindo por dentro I took my chance and you took yours I took my chance and you took yours Eu aproveitei minhas chances e você pegou a sua You crewed my ship, we missed the tide You crewed my ship, we missed the tide Você tripulou meu navio, perdemos a maré I like the way the music goes I like the way the music goes Eu gosto da maneira como a música vai There's a few good guys who can play it right There's a few good guys who can play it right Há alguns caras bons que podem toca-la certo I like the way it moves my toes I like the way it moves my toes Eu gosto da maneira como ele move meus dedos
