La próxima vez voy a escuchar a mi corazón
La próxima vez, y voy a ser inteligente
Esa niña podría ser mía
Pero estoy cansado de la herida
Cansado de intentar ‘
Estoy cansado del dolor
Cansado de intentar ‘
Estoy cansado de llorar

Next time I’ll listen to my heart
Next time, well I’ll be smart
That girl could still be mine
But I’m tired of the hurt
Tired of tryin’
I’m tired of the pain
Tired of tryin’
I’m tired of cryin’

The Ramones are the first punk rock band. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre. By cutting rock & roll down to its bare essentials — four chords; a simple, catchy melody; and irresistibly inane lyrics — and speeding up the tempo considerably, the Ramones created something that was rooted in early ’60s, pre-Beatles rock & roll and pop but sounded revolutionary. Since their breakthrough was theoretical as well as musical, they comfortably became the leaders of the emerging New York punk rock scene. While their peers such as Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, and Richard Hell all were more intellectual and self-consciously artistic than the Ramones, they nevertheless appealed to the same mentality because of the way they turned rock conventions inside out and celebrated kitschy pop culture with stylized stupidity. nota completa »

JOHNNY RAMONE
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh- oh
What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like this always on your back
What can you do? (lose?)

Rockaway beach
Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some.
It’s not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach.
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio
Rock rock rockaway beach
Rock rock rockaway beach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach
It’s not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To rockaway beach.
