American Pie - Don McLean
Lyrics by：Don McLean
Composed by：Don McLean
A long long time ago
很久很久以前
I can still remember
我还记得
How that music used to make me smile
音乐带给我的欢乐
And I knew if I had my chance
我知道若我有机会
That I could make those people dance
我有法子让那些人跳舞
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
也许他们会高兴一阵子
But February made me shiver
但二月的到来让我不寒而栗
With every paper I'd deliver
我发表的每一篇文章
Bad news on the doorstep
坏消息很快就传到了门口
I couldn't take one more step
我一步也走不动了
I can't remember if I cried
当我读到他的《widowed bride》
When I read about his widowed bride
我不记得我是否哭过
But something touched me deep inside
但某种东西触动了我的内心深处
The day the music died
音乐消亡的那一天
So bye-bye Miss American Pie
再见 美国甜饼小姐
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒
Singing this'll be the day that I die
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天
This'll be the day that I die
这就是我死的那一天
Did you write the book of love
你写了爱情之书吗
And do you have faith in God above
你们相信神在天上吗
If the Bible tells you so
如果圣经这样告诉你
Do you believe in rock 'n' roll
那你相信摇滚乐吗
Can music save your mortal soul
音乐能拯救你的灵魂吗
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
你能教我怎样跳慢舞吗
Well I know that you're in love with him
我知道你爱上他了
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
因为我看到你在健身房跳舞
You both kicked off your shoes
你们俩都把鞋脱了
Man I dig those rhythm and blues
伙计 我喜欢节奏布鲁斯
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
我是一个孤独的少年
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
我有粉色康乃馨和一辆小货车
But I knew I was out of luck
我知道我的运气不好
The day the music died
音乐消亡的那一天
I started singing
我开始唱歌
Bye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Singing this'll be the day that I die

Now for ten years we've been on our own
十年来 我们一直是靠自己
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone

But that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

The birds flew off with a fallout shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass
