Back In The Front Room

De Volta na Sala da Frente

Back In The Front Room

Voltei pra sala da frente, o Dave tava ligado no amplificador verdeGot back to the frontroom, Dave was plugged in to the green amplifier
O Pete tava no baixo, eles soavam incríveisPete was on the bass, they sounded great
Dave tinha um jeito incrível de tocar guitarraDave had this great way of playing the guitar
O jeito que o Dave tocava era bem únicoThe way Dave played was very individual
Eu tava sobrecarregado com toda a culturaI'd been overwhelmed by all the culture
A escola de arte reza pela vida que eu nunca ia entenderArt School prays the life I'd never really understand
Eu sentei e comecei a tocar,I sat down and started to jam,
fiquei impressionado com a velocidade das mãos do Davewas astounded by the speed of Dave's hands
O jeito que o Dave tocava guitarra era bem parecido com a forma como ele falavaThe way Dave played guitar was very similar to the way he spoke
ExatamenteExactly
Pensei comigo mesmo: "É assim que vai ser.I thought to myself "This is the way it's gonna be.
Vou entrar nessa banda, deixar a faculdade pra trás.I'm gonna join this band, leave college behind.
Esquece a cultura, rock 'n' roll é onde tudo acontece"Forget culture, rock 'n' roll is where it's at"

E o dia tava amanhecendoAnd daytime was dawning
A gente ficou a noite toda acordado, todo mundo bocejandoWe were up all night, we were all yawning
Mas a gente tava tocando, se divertindoBut we were playing, raving
Às vezes tão alto, até de manhã cedoSometimes so loud, to the early morning

Nossos amigos ficavam batendo na portaOur friends keep knocking at the door
Os vizinhos gritavam "Chega!"The neighbours shouted out "No more"
Eles até chamaram a polícia pra ouvir a gente tocarThey even sent the police around to hear us play
E foi assim que a gente tocouAnd this is the way we played

A gente pensou: "Se a gente consegue irritar todos os vizinhos com o amplificador verdeWe thought "If we could annoy all of the neighbours with the green amp
imagina o que a gente poderia fazer com uma banda de quatro integrantes"think of what we could do with a four piece band"
Mas não tinha dúvida, o Dave era a estrela,But there was no doubt Dave was the star,
um conhecedor do velho doze compassosa connoisseur of the old twelve bar
E até meu pai disse: "Esse garoto é uma maravilha"And even dad said "That boy is bloody marvelous"
Como eu disse, o Pete tava no baixo,As I said Pete was on the bass,
então a única forma de eu me infiltrar na bandaso the only way I could SLY my way into the band
era me tornar o guitarrista rítmicowas to become the rhythm guitar player
Enquanto a gente pulava pra cima e pra baixoWhile we were bouncing up and down
a casa tremia com o somthe house was shaking to the sound
da distorção total do gramofoneof the full distortion from the gramophone
A gente ficou acordado tocando a noite todaWe had stayed up playing all night long
ficamos sem as músicas dos outrosran out of other people's songs
então começamos a fazer nossas próprias músicasso we started making music of our own

E a aurora tava quebrando, minha mente tava calculandoAnd dawn was breaking, my mind was calculating
Dessa vez não ia ter mais esperaThis time there's no more waiting
Eu tava acordado, minha mente tava claraI was awake, my mind was clear
Eu conseguia ver uma saída daquiI could see a way out of here

E então os policiais bateram na portaAnd then the cops knocked at the door
com cartas de advogadoswith letters from solicitors
A gente tinha perturbado a paz e acordado todos os vizinhosWe'd disturb the peace and woke up all the neighbours
Mas meu pai diz: "Esquece os vizinhos.But dad says "Forget the neighbours.
Continuem tocando, meninos, continuem tocando"Keep playing, boys, keep playing"
