Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Queen's song "We Will Rock You" tell a story of three individuals at different stages in their lives, each one facing their own unique struggles. The song begins with a young boy playing in the street, with ambitions to become a "big man" someday. Despite the mud on his face and the disapproval of those around him ("You big disgrace/Kickin' your can all over the place"), he sings out confidently that "we will rock you." This simple, repetitive chant becomes the backbone of the song and quickly draws in the listener.


As the song progresses, we are introduced to a young man who is determined to make a difference in the world, despite the challenges he faces. "You big disgrace/Wavin' your banner all over the place" suggests that he is seen as disruptive or even dangerous by those around him, but he remains resolute in his purpose. The final verse centers on an elderly man who has weathered many trials and seeks only to find peace in his old age. Here, the message shifts somewhat to encourage compassion and understanding: "Somebody betta put you back into your place" acknowledges that the old man might need help, but the chorus emphasizes that he too can be a part of the rockin' energy that the song celebrates.


As a whole, "We Will Rock You" is a rousing anthem that seeks to inspire and unify listeners, regardless of their age or station in life. Its simple lyrics and upbeat rhythms make it an enduring classic that continues to be played at sporting events, rallies, and rock concerts to this day.

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
