Let There Be Rock

Que Haja Rock

Let There Be Rock

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

Que haja som, e houve somLet there be sound, and there was sound
Que haja luz, e houve luzLet there be light, and there was light
Que haja bateria, houve a bateriaLet there be drums, there was drums
Que haja guitarra, houve a guitarraLet there be guitar, there was guitar, ah
Que haja rockLet there be rock

E aconteceuAnd it came to pass
Que o rock'n'roll nasceuThat rock 'n' roll was born
Por tudo o quanto é lado, bandas de rockAll across the land every rockin' band
Botavam pra quebrarWas blowin' up a storm
E o guitarrista ficou famosoAnd the guitar man got famous
O empresário ficou ricoThe businessman got rich
E em cada bar havia um superstarAnd in every bar there was a superstar
Querendo colocar chifres em alguémWith a seven-year itch
Havia quinze milhões de dedosThere was fifteen million fingers
Aprendendo a tocarLearnin' how to play
E dava pra você ouvir os dedos dedilhandoAnd you could hear the fingers pickin'
E isto é o que eles tinham a dizerAnd this is what they had to say

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

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