Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin'

We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

We will, we will rock you (sing it out)
We will, we will rock you

Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes, gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place

We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you, everybody
We will, we will rock you, hmm




We will, we will rock you

Amigo, você é um garoto, faça um barulhão
Tocando na rua, vai ser um grande homem algum dia
Você tem lama no seu rosto, sua grande desgraça
Chutando sua lata pra todo lugar

Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você
Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você

Amigo, você é cara jovem, um cara forte
Gritando na rua, vai enfrentar o mundo algum dia
Você tem sangue no seu rosto, sua grande desgraça
Agitando sua bandeira por todo lugar

Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você
Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você

Amigo, você é um homem velho, pobre homem
Suplicando com seus olhos, vai causar alguma paz algum dia
Você tem lama no seu rosto, sua grande desgraça
É melhor alguém te colocar de volta no seu lugar

Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você
Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você

Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você
Nós vamos, nós vamos sacudir você
