Chuck Berry
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans 在路易斯安那州靠近紐奧良市附近
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens 路上兩旁的綠蔭高聳形成了綠色隧道
There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood 那裡矗立著一間由泥土和木頭組成的圓木小屋
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode 在那裡居住一個鄉下男孩叫 Johnny B. Goode
Who never learned to read or write so well 他沒讀多少書，會寫的字也沒幾個
But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell 但他彈奏吉他就像搖鈴一樣引人注意
Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack 他都用麻布袋裝著他的吉他
Sat beneath the tree by the railroad track 沿著鐵道旁的樹下坐下來
An engineer could see him sitting in the shade 鐵道工程師能看到他坐在蔭暗處
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made 與這些司機製造的節奏即興創作
The People passing by, they would stop and say 當人們經過時, 他們會停下腳步並且說
Oh my, how that little country boy could play 哦我的天啊, 那個鄉下小男孩怎麼那麼會彈呀
Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him, someday you will be a man 他的母親告訴他, 總有一天你將長大成人
You will be the leader of a big old band 你將是一個了不起的老樂團之領導者
Many people coming from miles around 來自周圍數英里內的許多人
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down 當天色暗下來時, 聆聽著你演奏音樂
And maybe someday your name will be in lights 並且也許總有一天你的名字將會發光
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight 今晚是Johnny B. Goode之夜
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
