Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
I had one cup of coffee and a cigaretteTomé una taza de café y un cigarrillo
Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wetLuego me levanté de la cama con mi camisa empapada
If I was gonna get movin', now was the timeSi iba a moverme, era el momento
So I packed up my bags and my gretsch '59Así que empacé mis maletas y mi gretsch '59
It's a tough life, loveEs una vida difícil, amor
But when push comes to shovePero cuando la cosa se pone difícil
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny koolEs la única vida para Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a foolTocaba su guitarra y cantaba como un tonto
Don't let the big boys grind you downNo dejes que los grandes te aplasten
Johnny johnny, johnny koolJohnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rulesEra un rebelde que rompía todas las reglas
Everyone can't stop talkin' aboutTodos no dejan de hablar sobre
The legend of johnny koolLa leyenda de Johnny Kool
It was darker than black, not a star in the skyEra más oscuro que la noche, sin una estrella en el cielo
So I revved on the engine and let that mercury flyAsí que aceleré el motor y dejé que ese mercurio volara
With the wind blowin' by at a 105Con el viento soplando a 105
It gave me a thrill just bein' aliveMe emocionaba solo estar vivo
It's a tough life, loveEs una vida difícil, amor
But when push comes to shovePero cuando la cosa se pone difícil
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny koolEs la única vida para Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a foolTocaba su guitarra y cantaba como un tonto
Don't let the big boys grind you downNo dejes que los grandes te aplasten
Johnny johnny, johnny koolJohnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rulesEra un rebelde que rompía todas las reglas
Everyone can't stop talkin' aboutTodos no dejan de hablar sobre
The legend of johnny koolLa leyenda de Johnny Kool
Rumor had it now this cat had it allEl rumor decía que este tipo lo tenía todo
He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hallEra ruidoso, era salvaje, y realmente sacudió la sala
Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stageAlguien agarró mi brazo y salté al escenario
And I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my ageY estaba rockeando con un tipo que tenía el doble de mi edad
It's a tough life, loveEs una vida difícil, amor
But when push comes to shovePero cuando la cosa se pone difícil
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny koolEs la única vida para Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a foolTocaba su guitarra y cantaba como un tonto
Don't let the big boys grind you downNo dejes que los grandes te aplasten
Johnny johnny, johnny koolJohnny Johnny, Johnny Kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rulesEra un rebelde que rompía todas las reglas
Everyone can't stop talkin' aboutTodos no dejan de hablar sobre
The legend of johnny koolLa leyenda de Johnny Kool
