You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Anda pemberontak lowdown jika pernah ada
Even if you had no cause
Bahkan jika Anda tidak memiliki alasan
James Dean, you said it all so clean
James Dean, Anda bilang semuanya sangat bersih
And I know my life would look all right
Dan aku tahu hidupku akan baik-baik saja
If I could see it on the silver screen
Jika saya bisa melihatnya di layar perak

We’ll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
Kita akan membicarakan kulkas buruk yang rendah,
You were just too cool for school
Kamu terlalu asyik bersekolah
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
Sock hop, soda pop, toko basket dan mobil,
The only thing that got you off was breakin’ all the rules
Satu-satunya yang menghalangi Anda adalah melanggar semua peraturan
James Dean, James Dean
James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
Begitu lapar dan sangat kurus
James Dean, you said it all so clean
James Dean, Anda bilang semuanya sangat bersih
And I know my life would look all right
Dan aku tahu hidupku akan baik-baik saja
If I could see it on the silver screen
Jika saya bisa melihatnya di layar perak

Little James Dean, up on the screen
Little James Dean, di atas layar
Wond’rin’ who he might be
Wond’rin ‘siapa dia
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
Seiring datang seorang Spyder dan mengambil seorang pengendara
And took him down the road to eternity
Dan membawanya ke jalan menuju kekekalan

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen
James Dean, James Dean, Anda membelinya tak terlihat

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Kamu terlalu cepat hidup, terlalu muda untuk mati, selamat tinggal
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Anda harus berpuasa untuk hidup, terlalu muda untuk mati, selamat tinggal
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Sampai jumpa, sampai jumpa
