I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Hanya seorang anak desa yang merapikan rambutnya
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
Dan mengenakan baju yang dibuat ibunya dan tampil di televisi
And he shook it like a chorus girl
Dan dia menggoyangkannya seperti gadis paduan suara
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
Dan dia menggoyangkannya seperti ratu Harlem
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby,
Dia menggoyangkannya seperti pengembara tengah malam, sayang,
Like you never seen
Seperti yang belum pernah kau lihat

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
How he took it all out of black and white
Bagaimana dia mengubah segalanya dari hitam putih
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
Menggenggam mikrofonnya di tangan yang lain dan dia berpegang erat
And he shook it like a hurricane
Dan dia menggoyangkannya seperti badai
He shook it like to make it break
Dia menggoyangkannya seolah ingin menghancurkannya
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
Dan dia menggoyangkannya seperti penggila rohani, sayang
With his soul at stake
Dengan jiwanya dipertaruhkan

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Aku memikirkan malam itu tentang Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
He was all alone in a long decline
Dia sendirian dalam penurunan yang panjang
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
Memikirkan betapa bahagianya John Henry saat dia jatuh dan meninggal
When he shook it and he rang like silver
Saat dia menggoyangkannya dan berbunyi seperti perak
He shook it and he shine like gold
Dia menggoyangkannya dan bersinar seperti emas
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Dia menggoyangkannya dan mengalahkan bor uap itu, sayang
Well bless my soul
Oh, berkati jiwaku

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Dia menggoyangkannya dan mengalahkan bor uap itu, sayang
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
Oh, berkati jiwaku, ada apa denganku?

I was thinking that night about Elvis

Day that he died, day that he died
Hari dia meninggal, hari dia meninggal
