Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) Lyrics in English Lulu Santos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) by Lulu Santos from Portuguese to English.
Hey, hey, my, my
Hey, hey, my, my
Rock and roll can never die
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Than meets the eye
Hey, hey, my, my
Hey, hey, my, my
Out of the blue and into the black
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black
When you're out of the blue and into the black
The king is gone but he's not forgotten (Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten)
The king is gone but he's not forgotten (Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten)
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten? (Johnny Rotten, Rotten Johnny)
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten? (Johnny Rotten, Rotten Johnny)
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Hey, hey, my, my
Hey, hey, my, my
Rock and roll can never die
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Than meets the eye

Did you like this lyrics translation?
enferruja — rusts
Enferruja comes from the verb enferrujar, meaning "to rust". It's a vivid and somewhat uncommon word in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, Lulu Santos sings, "É melhor queimar do que enferrujar" (It's better to burn out than to rust). This line, a direct translation of Neil Young's famous lyric, uses enferrujar metaphorically to suggest a slow decline or loss of passion, contrasting it with a fiery, impactful end. It's a powerful philosophical statement within the song.
