Deep down in Jamaica close to Mandeville Deep down in Jamaica close to Mandeville No fundo do Jamaica perto de Mandeville Back up in the woods on top of a hill Back up in the woods on top of a hill Em meio a uma floresta entre árvores sempre verdes There stood an old hut made of earth and wood There stood an old hut 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 He never learned to read and a write so well He never learned to read and a write so well Que nunca havia aprendido a ler ou escrever muito bem But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell Mas sabia tocar violão como se tocasse uma campainha CHORUS (we all know this) CHORUS (we all know this) Disse vai, vai, Johnny!,Johnny B. Goode essa noite! Disse vai, vai, Johnny! 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 seu violão num saco de pano Sitting in a tree in the railroad track Sitting in a tree in the railroad track E ia sentar-se debaixo de uma árvore perto dos trilhos da ferrovia Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade Os engenheiros o viam sentado na sombra Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made Tocando acompanhando o ritmo que os motoristas faziam People passing by would stop and say People passing by would stop and say As pessoas que passavam paravam e diziam Oh my oh my what the boy can play Oh my oh my what the boy can play Nossa, como esse caipirinha sabe tocar" CHORUS CHORUS Disse vai, vai, Johnny! Johnny B. Goode essa noite! Disse vai, vai, Johnny! Johnny B. Goode Mama said son you gotta be a man Mama said son you gotta be a man Sua mãe disse a ele "um dia você será um homem You gotta be the leader of a reggae band You gotta be the leader of a reggae band E será o líder de uma grande banda People coming in from miles around People coming in from miles around Muitas pessoas virão de milhas de distância To hear you play until the sun goes down To hear you play until the sun goes down Para ouvi-lo tocar sua música até o sol se pôr Boy someday your name will be in the lights Boy someday your name will be in the lights Talvez um dia seu nome estará em letreiros luminosos Saying Johnny B Goode tonight Saying Johnny B Goode tonight Talvez um dia seu nome estará em letreiros luminosos
