Johnny B. Goode
Chuck Berry
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
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
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say
"Oh my well that little country boy could play"
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"
"And you will be the leader of a big old band"
"Many people coming from miles around"
"To hear you play your music when the sun go down"
"Maybe someday your name will be in lights"
"Saying, Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go

Johnny B. Goode: O Hino do Rock n Roll que Celebra o Talento Natural
A música Johnny B. Goode, composta e interpretada por Chuck Berry, é um dos hinos mais emblemáticos do rock 'n' roll. Lançada em 1958, a canção conta a história de um jovem talentoso do interior, que apesar de suas limitações educacionais, possui uma habilidade extraordinária para tocar guitarra. A narrativa se passa em Louisiana, perto de New Orleans, um local conhecido por sua rica herança musical, o que já estabelece um cenário propício para o surgimento de um músico excepcional.
O protagonista, Johnny B. Goode, é descrito como alguém que, embora não tenha aprendido a ler ou escrever 'tão bem', consegue tocar guitarra 'como se estivesse tocando um sino'. Essa metáfora ressalta a clareza e a precisão de sua habilidade musical, sugerindo que ele tem um dom natural para a música, tão puro e ressonante quanto o som de um sino. A repetição do refrão 'Go, Johnny, go' funciona como um estímulo e um reconhecimento da comunidade, que o incentiva a perseguir seu talento.
A canção também aborda o tema da ascensão social por meio da música. A mãe de Johnny lhe diz que um dia ele será um homem e liderará uma grande banda, com muitas pessoas vindo de longe para ouvir sua música até o pôr do sol. A esperança de que seu nome esteja em luzes, anunciando 'Johnny B. Goode esta noite', reflete o sonho americano de sucesso e reconhecimento. Johnny B. Goode é uma celebração do potencial ilimitado que reside em cada indivíduo e do poder da música como uma força transformadora na vida das pessoas.
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Bem no sul da Louisiana, perto de Nova Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Em meio a uma floresta entre os pinheiros
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Ficava uma velha cabana feita de terra e madeira
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Onde vivia um garoto caipira chamado Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
Que nunca havia aprendido muito bem a ler ou escrever
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Mas que conseguia tocar uma guitarra como se tocasse a campainha
Go go

Vamos, Johnny, vamos lá, vamos

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Ele costumava carregar sua guitarra no saco de pano
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
E sentava-se debaixo de uma árvore perto dos trilhos
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Ah, os maquinistas de trem o viam sentado na sombra
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
Acompanhando o ritmo que os motoristas faziam
The people passing by they would stop and say
Pessoas que passassem por perto paravam e diziam
"Oh my well that little country boy could play"
Oh, meu Deus, mas esse rapaz toca mesmo
Go go
Vamos
Go Johnny go go
Vamos, Johnny, vamos lá, vamos
Go Johnny go go
Vamos, Johnny, vamos lá, vamos

"And you will be the leader of a big old band"
E será o líder de uma grande banda
"Many people coming from miles around"
Muitas pessoas virão de muito longe
"To hear you play your music when the sun go down"
Para ouvi-lo tocar sua música até o anoitecer
"Maybe someday your name will be in lights"
Talvez um dia seu nome estará em letreiros luminosos
"Saying, Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Dizendo: Johnny B. Goode hoje à noite
