| God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
| Dios te dio el rock and roll, te dio el rock and roll
|
| Put it in the soul of everyone
| Ponlo en el alma de todos
|
| Do you know what you want? | ¿Sabes lo que quieres? |
| You don’t know for sure
| no lo sabes con certeza
|
| You don’t feel right, you can’t find a cure
| No te sientes bien, no puedes encontrar una cura
|
| And you’re gettin' less than what you’re lookin' for
| Y obtienes menos de lo que buscas
|
| You don’t have money or a fancy car
| No tienes dinero o un auto lujoso
|
| And you’re tired of wishin' on a falling star
| Y estás cansado de desear una estrella fugaz
|
| You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
| Tienes que poner tu fe en una guitarra ruidosa
|
| Chorus:
| Coro:
|
| God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
| Dios te dio el rock and roll, te dio el rock and roll
|
| Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
| Dio rock and roll a todos (oh, sí)
|
| God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
| Dios te dio el rock and roll, te dio el rock and roll
|
| Put it in the soul of everyone
| Ponlo en el alma de todos
|
| «Now listen»
| "Ahora escucha"
|
| If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
| Si quieres ser cantante o tocar la guitarra
|
| Man, you gotta sweat or you won’t get far
| Hombre, tienes que sudar o no llegarás lejos
|
| Cause it’s never too late to work nine-to-five
| Porque nunca es demasiado tarde para trabajar de nueve a cinco
|
| You can take a stand, or you can compromise
| Puedes tomar una posición o puedes comprometerte
|
| You can work real hard or just fantasize
| Puedes trabajar muy duro o solo fantasear
|
| But you don’t start livin' till you realize — «I gotta tell ya!»
| Pero no empiezas a vivir hasta que te das cuenta: «¡Tengo que decírtelo!»
|
| God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
| Dios te dio el rock and roll, te dio el rock and roll
|
| Gave rock and roll to everyone
| Dio rock and roll a todos
|
| God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
| Dios te dio el rock and roll, te dio el rock and roll
|
| Put it in the soul
| Ponlo en el alma
|
| (Instrumental break)
| (pausa instrumental)
|
| God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
| Dios te dio el rock and roll (a todos les dio la canción para cantar)
|
| Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
| Te di rock and roll, te di rock and roll a todos
|
| God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
| Dios te dio el rock and roll (a todos les dio la canción para cantar)
|
| Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
| Te di rock and roll, salvó el rock and roll para todos
|
| Saved rock and roll
| El rock and roll guardado
|
| chorus repeats out…
| el coro se repite…
|
| «I know life sometimes can get tough! | «¡Sé que la vida a veces puede ser difícil! |
| And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
| ¡Y sé que la vida a veces puede ser un lastre!
|
| But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
| Pero gente, nos han dado un regalo, nos han dado un camino
|
| And that road’s name is… Rock and Roll!» | Y ese camino se llama… ¡Rock and Roll!» |
