Johnny B. Goode　Chuck Berry　１９５８

 1

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

 遠く南のルイジアナ州、ニューオーリンズの近く

 Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

 森の奥深く、常緑樹の中に

 There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

 土と木で出来た丸太小屋が建っていて

 Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

 ジョニーBグッドという名の田舎少年が住んでいた

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

読み書きを一度も習わなかったけど

But he could play a guitar just like a-ringing a bell

ギターは鈴を鳴らす様に弾けた

Go, go

行け、行け

Go Johnny go, go

行け、ジョニー、行くんだ

Go Johnny go, go

Go Johnny go, go

Go Johnny go, go

Johnny B. Goode 

ジョニーBグッド

3 

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

彼はよくギターを麻袋に入れて持ち歩いて

Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

線路わきの木の下に座ったりしていた

Oh, an engineer would see him sitting in the shade

機関士は木陰に座る彼をよく見たものだった

Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made

機関士が作るリズムに合わせてギターを爪弾き

People passing by they would stop and say

通りがかかりの人達も立ち止まっては言った

Oh, my, but that little country boy could play

おやまあ、あの田舎っ子、上手だね

Go, go…

His mother told him “Someday you will be a man

彼の母さんは言った「いつかお前も一人前になり

And you will be the leader of a big old band

大きなバンドのリーダーになるよ

Many people coming from miles around

多くの人が何マイルも四方からやってきて

To hear you play your music when the sun go down

日が沈む頃お前の演奏を聞くだろうよ

Maybe someday your name will be in light

いつかお前の名前が照らし出されるかもね

Saying 'Johnny B. Goode Tonight'"

「ジョニーBグッド公演今夜」とか書かれてね

 Go, go

 Go Johnny go

 Go go go, Johnny go

 Oh go go, Johnny go

 Oh go go, Johnny go

 Go, Johnny B. Goode
