Origineel
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I’m going down to the basement ya’ll
Where people all have a good time
The parties that I hear have nothing to do with
My ears are going out of my mind, mind, mind
Down here they play the real thing
Songs that were really rock and roll
It’s a cliche to put it this way
But they don’t make em like that anymore, more, more, more
So if they put me in the spot light
I’m never leaving the floor
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Oh
An old man gets on the mic
Tells us to hang our burdens up
He says songs you hear today all start to get in the way
Till you’re barely feeling the love, love, love, love
He drops the needle on a pop song
He drops the needle on some soul
And I watch a pimp fall in love over there
Dancing to songs their parents would know, know, know, know
So everybody give me room now
Watch me cut a rug in the show
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Oh
Party people sweat out the night
Let your body do just what it likes
Just want to hear some favorite before my years
Dance soldiers forgetting our day jobs
Trying to get off cause we really came to rock and roll
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Say I really want to rock and roll
Vertaling
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ik ga naar beneden naar de kelder ya’ll
Where people all have a good time
De feestjes die ik hoor hebben niets te maken met
Mijn oren gaan uit mijn hoofd, hoofd, hoofd
Hier beneden spelen ze het echte werk
Liedjes die echt rock and roll waren
It’s a cliche to put it this way
Maar ze maken ze niet meer zoals dat, meer, meer, meer
Dus als ze me in het spotlicht zetten
Ik ga nooit van de vloer af
Ik ga naar de kelder
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Omdat ik echt wil rocken en rollen
Oh
An old man gets on the mic
Tells us to hang our burdens up
He says songs you hear today all start to get in the way
Till you’re barely feeling the love, love, love, love
He drops the needle on a pop song
He drops the needle on some soul
En ik zie daar een pooier verliefd worden
Dansend op liedjes die hun ouders zouden kennen, kennen, kennen, kennen
Dus iedereen geeft me nu de ruimte
Kijk hoe ik een tapijt snijd in de show
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Want ik wil echt rock and roll
Oh
Feestbeesten zweten de nacht uit
Let your body do just what it likes
Just want to hear some favorite before my years
Dance soldiers forgeting our day jobs
Proberen los te komen want we kwamen echt om te rock and rollen
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
I’m going down to the basement
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Cause I really want to rock and roll
Zeg dat ik echt wil rocken en rollen
