歌词与中文翻译
A long long time ago
我依旧铭记那段旧时光
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
音乐总是让我莞尔微笑
And I knew if I had my chance
而我明白 如果我有机会
That I could make those people dance
能让那些人翩翩起舞
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
他们也许会开心一阵子
But February made me shiver
但我在二月送出的每份报纸都令我不寒而栗
With every paper I'd deliver
噩耗就躺在门阶上
Bad news on the doorstep
我的腿像灌铅了一样
I couldn't take one more step
我忘记我是否流下了眼泪
I can't remember if I cried
当我得知他遗孀的消息
When I read about his widowed bride
但有些事却深深触动了我
But something touched me deep inside
那日，音乐已死
The day the music died
那么，再见吧，美国派小姐
So Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
开着我的雪弗兰到了码头
Drove my chevy to the levee
可惜码头早已干涸
But the levee was dry
那些老男孩们喝着黑麦威士忌
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
唱着“有朝一日我终将死去
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
有朝一日我终将死去
This'll be the day that I die
“爱之书”是你写的吗？
Did you write the Book of Love
如果圣经告诉你这些，你会信仰上帝吗？
And do you have faith in God above
你还相信摇滚吗？
If the Bible tells you so
音乐能否拯救你那终将逝去的灵魂？
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
你能教我如何慢舞吗？
Can music save your mortal soul
好吧，我知道你已经爱上了他
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
因为我看到你们在健身房里翩翩起舞
Well, I know that you're in love with him
舞到你们双双踢掉了鞋子
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
兄弟，我终于弄清了R & B
You both kicked off your shoes
我曾是个孤单的少年
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
拿着粉色康乃馨，驾着皮卡车
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
但我知道我不够幸运
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
那日，音乐已死
But I knew I was out of luck
我开始吟唱
The day the music died
再见吧，美国派小姐
I started singin'
开着我的雪弗兰到了码头
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
可惜码头早已干涸
Drove my chevy to the levee
那些老男孩们喝着黑麦威士忌
But the levee was dry
唱着“有朝一日我终将死去”
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
十年后的如今却属于我们
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
滚石上长满了苔藓
This'll be the day that I die
但却早已不是当初的模样
Now for ten years we've been on our own
当那个宫廷小丑向国王与王后献唱时
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
他穿着詹姆士迪恩的外套
But that's not how it used to be
声音却来自你与我
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
当国王颔首之时
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
宫廷小丑窃走了那多刺的王冠
And a voice that came from you and me
审判被延期
Oh, and while the King was looking down
判决迟迟未下
The jester stole his thorny crown
当列侬研读马克思时
The courtroom was adjourned
四重奏在公园里上演了
No verdict was returned
我们却在黑暗中唱起了挽歌
And while Lennon read a book of Marx
那日，音乐已死
The quartet practiced in the park
我们开始吟唱
And we sang dirges in the dark
再见吧，美国派小姐
The day the music died
开着我的雪弗兰到了码头
We were singing
但码头早已干涸
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
那些老男孩们喝着黑麦威士忌
Drove my chevy to the levee
唱着“有朝一日我终将死去”
But the levee was dry
炎热的夏日暴动不断
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
鸟儿从破巢中飞走
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
八英里高却急速坠下
This'll be the day that I die
最终落在污秽的草上。
