歌词
A long long time ago
那段旧时光
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
我依旧铭记 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
你写过爱之书吗
Did you write the Book of Love
相信天上的上帝吗
And do you have faith in God above
如果《圣经》是这么告诉你的
If the Bible tells you so
你相信摇滚乐吗
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
音乐能否拯救你那终将逝去的灵魂
Can music save your mortal soul
你能教我如何慢舞吗
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
好吧，我知道你已经爱上了他
Well, I know that you're in love with him
因为我看到你们在健身房里翩翩起舞
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
但我知道我不够幸运
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
那日，音乐已死
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
我开始吟唱
But I knew I was out of luck
再见吧，美国派小姐
The day the music died
开着我的雪弗兰到了码头
可惜码头早已干涸
I started singin'
那些老男孩们喝着黑麦威士忌
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
唱着“有朝一日我终将死去”
Drove my chevy to the levee
有朝一日我终将死去
But the levee was dry
我遇到一个唱着蓝调的女孩
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
我问她是否有好消息
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
而她却只是微笑着转身离开
This'll be the day that I die
我又走到那间唱片店
多年前我曾在这听到我要的音乐
I met a girl who sang the blues
但那里的人告诉我再也不会播放了
And I asked her for some happy news
在街道上：孩子们尖叫着
But she just smiled and turned away
恋人们哭泣着，诗人们做着梦
I went down to the sacred store
却都一言不发
Where I'd heard the music years before
教堂的钟声响起
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
有三个男人我最敬佩
神父、圣子与圣灵
And in the streets the children screamed
他们赶上了去往死亡海岸最后一班列车
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
那日，音乐已死
But not a word was spoken
他们吟唱着
The church bells all were broken
再见吧，美国派小姐
开着我的雪弗兰到了码头
And the three men I admire most
可惜码头早已干涸
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
那些老男孩们喝着黑麦威士忌
They caught the last train for the coast
唱着“有朝一日我终将死去”
The day the music died
有朝一日我终将死去
他吟唱着 .再见吧，美国派小姐
And they were singing
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
有朝一日我终将死去
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
