Roland the Roadie and Gertrude

Agora, Roland, o roadie, era só um capacho que montava as luzes e os microfones pros showsNow Roland the roadie was only a toadie who set up the lights and the mikes for the shows
E Gertrude, a groupie, era fã de rock and roll, que ficava na porta do palco na chuva e na neveAnd Gertrude the groupie was a rock and roll fan, who stood by the stage door in the rains and the snows

Roland, o roadie, conheceu Gertrude, a groupie, em um show de rock lá em BayonneRoland the roadie met Gertrude the groupie at a rock concert back in Bayonne
Ele tentou seduzir, disse que ia apresentá-la a todos os Beatles e StonesHe tried to seduce, said he'd introduce her to all of the Beatles and Stones

Então, Roland, o roadie, arrumou um lugar pra Gertrude, a groupie, na varanda lá em cimaSo Roland the roadie got Gertrude the groupie a seat in the balcony above
E Gertrude, a groupie, se sentiu grata e animada, mas Roland, o roadie, sentiu amorAnd Gertrude the groupie felt grateful and groovy but Roland the roadie felt love

E alguns gostam de pernil, outros de costeletas e alguns amam sopa de legumesAnd some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops and some folks love vegetable soup
Mas Roland, o roadie, ama Gertrude, a groupie, mas Gertrude, a groupie, ama as bandasBut Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups

Ela se levantou e gritou enquanto o holofote âmbar brilhava em seus heróis tão magros e altosShe stood up and screamed as the amber spot gleamed on her heroes so skinny and tall
Com as pálpebras tão caídas, e Gertrude, a groupie, estava apaixonada por todos elesWith their eyelids so droopy, and Gertrude the groupie and she was in love with them all

Roland, o roadie, disse a Gertrude, a groupie, pra esperar e que ele seria seu homemRoland the roadie told Gertrude the groupie to wait and he'd be her man
Mas enquanto ele sonhava com uma casa coberta de rosas, ela estava com a banda na vanBut while he dreamed of a rose covered home she was out with the group in the van

Ei, Gertie, sai daí, vem cá, sai de lá... Eu sei que você tá aí...Hey Gertie, get out here, come on babe, come on out of there....I know you're in there...
A caravana toda tá balançando, baby... E eu, Gertie... Oh, GertieThe whole trailer's moving baby....What about me....Gertie... Oh Gertie

Agora, Roland, o roadie, tá de volta na estrada, seu coração foi partido de novoNow Roland the roadie is back on the road, his heart has been broken again
E Gertrude, a groupie, espera lá fora no frio pela próxima banda que vai chegarAnd Gertrude the groupie waits out in the cold for the very next group to come in

E alguns gostam de pernil, outros de costeletas e alguns amam sopa de legumesAnd some folks loves ham hocks and some folks loves pork chops and some folks loves vegetable soup
E Roland, o roadie, ama Gertrude, a groupie, mas Gertrude, a groupie, ama as bandasAnd Roland the roadie loves Gertrude the groupie, but Gertrude the groupie loves groups
...bandas...bandas...bandas.......groups.....groups.....groups......
