Let There Be Rock

Que Haja Rock

Let There Be Rock

Lá no início
In the beginning
Em 1955
Back in nineteen fifty five
O homem nunca tinha visto um show de rock
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
E todo aquele ritmo
'N all that jive
O homem branco tinha o sentimentalismo
The white man had the schmaltz
O negro tinha o blues
The black man had the blues
Ninguém sabia o que eles iam fazer
No one knew what they was gonna do
Mas Tchaikovsky deu a notícia, e ele disse
But Tchaikovsky had the news, he said

Que haja som, e houve som
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Que haja luz, e houve luz
Let there be light, and there was light
Que haja bateria, houve a bateria
Let there be drums, there was drums
Que haja guitarra, houve a guitarra
Let there be guitar, there was guitar, ah
Que haja rock
Let there be rock

E aconteceu
And it came to pass
Que o rock'n'roll nasceu
That rock 'n' roll was born
Por tudo o quanto é lado, bandas de rock
All across the land every rockin' band
Botavam pra quebrar
Was blowin' up a storm
E o guitarrista ficou famoso
And the guitar man got famous
O empresário ficou rico
The businessman got rich
E em cada bar havia um superstar
And in every bar there was a superstar
Querendo colocar chifres em alguém
With a seven-year itch
Havia quinze milhões de dedos
There was fifteen million fingers
Aprendendo a tocar
Learnin' how to play
E dava pra você ouvir os dedos dedilhando
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
E isto é o que eles tinham a dizer
And this is what they had to say

Que haja luz, som, bateria, e guitarra, ah
Let there be light, sound, drums, 'n guitar, ah
Que haja rock!
Let there be rock

Uma noite em um clube chamado The Shakin' Hand
One night in a club called The Shakin' Hand
Havia uma banda tocando acima de 42 decibéis
There was a 42 decibel rockin' band
E a música era boa
And the music was good
E a música estava alta
And the music was loud
E o vocalista virou e disse para a multidão
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
Que haja rock!
Let there be rock
