Let There Be Rock - AC/DC

Let There Be Rock

AC/DC


Lyrics:
In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tschaikovsky had the news
He said let there be sound
There was sound
Let there be light
There was light
Let there be drums
There was drums
Let there be guitar
There was guitar
Let there be rock

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowin' up a storm
And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar there was a superstar
With a seven year itch
There was fifteen million fingers
Learnin' how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
And this is what they had to say
Let there be light
Sound
Drums
Guitar
Let there be rock

One night in the club called the shakin' hand
There was a 42 decibel rockin' band
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd
Let there be rock

Letra:
En el principio de los tiempos
Volviendo a mil novecientos cincuenta y cinco
El Hombre no conocía el espectáculo de rock and roll
Y todo esa movida
El hombre blanco tenía la canción ligera
El hombre negro tenía el blues
Nadie sabía qué iban a hacer
Pero Tchaikovsky estaba al tanto (1)
Él dijo :
"Hágase la luz", y se hizo la luz
"Hágase el sonido", y se hizo el sonido
"Hágase la batería", y se hizo la batería
"Hágase la guitarra", y se hizo la guitarra
"Hágase el rock"

Y sucedió
Que el rock and roll había nacido
Por toda la tierra cada banda rockera
Estaba desatando tormentas
El guitarrista se hizo famoso
El empresario se hizo rico
Y en cada bar había una superestrella
Con ganas de dar emociones nuevas (2)
Había quince millones de dedos
Aprendiendo a tocar
Y podías oír los dedos tañendo
Y esto es lo que tenían que decir
"Hágase la luz"
"Sonido"
"Batería"
"Guitarra"
"Hágase el rock"

Una noche en un club llamado "La mano agitada"
Había una banda rockera de noventa y dos decibelios
La música era buena y la música estaba muy fuerte
Y el cantante se giró y dijo a la multitud -
"Hágase el rock"


(1) Referencia al "Roll over Beethoven" de Chuck Berry, uno de los pioneros del Rock,  donde se dice la frase "Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news".
(2) "Seven-year itch", literalmente se traduce como "el picor de los siete años" y hace referencia a un matrimonio en el que después de siete años el deseo mutuo ha disminuido y aumentan las ganas de romper y buscar "otras emociones".

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
