The Way It Was In '51

Como Era em 51

The Way It Was In '51

Sessenta e seis ainda era uma estrada estreita de duas faixasSixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway
Harry Truman era o cara que comandava tudoHarry Truman was the man who ran the show
A maldita guerra da Coreia estava apenas começandoThe bad Korean war was just begining
E eu tinha apenas três anos a menos pra irAnd I was just three years too young to go
A música country ainda não tinha chegado em Nova YorkCountry Music hadn't gone to New York City yet
E um soldado se orgulhava do que tinha feitoAnd a service man was proud of what he'd done
Hank e Lefty lotavam cada jukeboxHank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox
Assim era em cinquenta e um.That's the way it was in fifty one.

Tem tanta coisa sobre os bons velhos tempos que eu adoraria contarThere's so much about the good old days I'd love to tell
E tem gente por aqui que eu sei que ainda lembra bemAnd there's folks around I know still remember well
Dançando devagar, bem juntinho, quando uma balada tocavaSlow dancin' close together when a ballad played
Porque uma coisa chamada Rock and Roll ainda ia chegar'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come
Foi um grande ano para um garçom de drive-inIt was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant carhop
Assim era em cinquenta e um.That's the way it was in fifty one.

É! Hank e Lefty lotavam cada jukeboxYeah! Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox
Oh Senhor, assim era em cinquenta e um.Oh Lord That's the way it was in fifty one.
