My darling dimestore thief
Pencuri kesayanganku sayang
In the War of Independence
Dalam Perang Kemerdekaan
Rock 'n Roll rang sweet as victory
Rock ‘n Roll berbunyi manis sebagai kemenangan
Under neon signs
Di bawah tanda neon
A girl was in bloom
Seorang gadis sedang mekar
And a woman was fading
Dan seorang wanita memudar
In a suburban room
Di sebuah ruangan di pinggiran kota
I said, “Take me to the dance”
Saya berkata, “Bawa saya ke pesta dansa”
“Do you want to dance?”
“Apakah Anda ingin berdansa?”
“I love to dance”
“Saya suka berdansa”
And I told him, “They don't take chances
Dan saya mengatakan kepadanya, “Mereka tidak mengambil risiko
They seem so removed from romance”
Mereka tampak begitu terhapus dari asmara “
“They've been broken in churches and schools
“Mereka dipecah di gereja dan sekolah
And molded to middle class circumstance”
Dan dibentuk untuk kelas menengah keadaan “
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Dan kami bergulir, berputar, bergoyang
Downtown
Pusat kota
The dance halls and cafes
Ruang tarian dan kafe
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
Merasa sangat liar bisa mematahkan hati seseorang
Just doing the latest dance craze

Gail dan Louise
In those push-up brassieres
Pada bra brendi yang push up
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Gaun ketat dan cincin berlian imitasi
Drinking up the band's beers
Minum bir dari band
Young love was kissing under bridges
Cinta muda berciuman di bawah jembatan
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
Berciuman di mobil, berciuman di kafe
And we were walking down Main Street
Dan kami berjalan di Main Street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
Ciuman seperti bendera terang tergantung pada hari libur
“In France they kiss on Main Street”
“Di Prancis mereka berciuman di Main Street”
“Amour, mama, not cheap display”
“Amour, mama, bukan tampilan murahan”
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Dan kami bergulir, berputar, bergoyang

In the pinball arcade
Di arcade pinball
With his head full of pool hall pitches
Dengan kepala penuh lapangan kolam renang
And songs from the hit parade
Dan lagu dari parade hit
He'd be singing “Bye, Bye, Love”
Dia akan menyanyikan “Bye, Bye, Love”
While he's racking up his free play
Sementara dia memeras permainannya yang bebas
Let those rock 'n roll choir boys
Biarkan anak-anak paduan suara rock ‘n roll
Come and carry us away
Datang dan bawa kita pergi
Sometimes Chickie had the car
Terkadang Chickie punya mobil
Or Ron had a car
Atau Ron punya mobil
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
Atau Lead Foot Melvin dengan kepala kawat panasnya
We'd all go looking for a party
Kita semua akan mencari pesta
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
Mencari untuk membangkitkan Yesus dari kematian
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
Dan aku akan berciuman di kursi belakang
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
Mendebarkan benda-benda Brando seperti yang dia katakan
And we'd be rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Dan kita akan bergulir, berputar, bergoyang
