A long long time ago

在很久以前

I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew that if I had my chance

我知道如果我有机会

I could make those people dance

我会让人们闻乐起舞

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

或许会暂时忘记悲伤 感到快乐

Did you write the book of love

你写过爱之书吗

And do you have faith in God above

你是否对上帝充满信仰

If the Bible tells you so

如果圣经是这么告诉你的

Now do you believe in rock'n roll

你会不会喜欢上摇滚

And can music save your mortal soul

音乐能挽救你腐朽的灵魂

And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well I know that you're in love with him

我知道你早已与他共坠爱河

Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym

因为我看到你们在体育馆里跳舞

You both kicked off your shoes

你们脱掉了自己的鞋子

Man I dig those rhythm 'n blues

伴着那蓝调的音乐

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

那时的我 只是一个落寞的年轻人

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

拿着一束康乃馨 开着小货车

But I knew that I was out of luck

但是我早已将运气耗尽

The day the music died

在音乐消亡的那一天

I started singin'

我开始歌唱

Bye bye Miss American Pie

再见了 美国派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

开着雪佛兰车驶向河堤 但是河水早已干涸

And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

一个乡下小伙喝着威士忌和黑麦酒

Singin' 'this will be the day that I die

歌唱吧 这将是我死去的那一天

This will be the day that I die

这将是我死去的那一天

I met a girl who sang the blues

我遇见一个唱布鲁斯的女孩

And I asked her for some happy news

我想向她打听一些令人愉快的消息

But she just smiled and turned away

但是她笑了笑转身离开

Well I went down to the sacred store

我走进那神圣的商店

Where I'd heard the music years before

在那里我听到了多年前听到的那首歌

And the men there said the music couldn't play

但是它早已不能播放

Well now in the streets the children screamed

街上的孩子喧闹不已

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

恋人们在哭泣 而诗人们做着梦

But not a word was spoken

但是没有人说话

The church bells all were broken

教堂的钟早已坏掉

And the three men I admire most

我最敬佩那三个人

The Father Son and the Holy Ghost

圣父 圣子 还有那高贵的灵魂

They caught the last train for the coast

他们拦下了最后一班火车

The day the music died

在音乐消亡的那一天

We start singin

我们开始唱歌

Bye bye Miss American Pie

再见了 美国派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

开着雪佛兰车驶向河堤 但是河水早已干涸

And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

一个乡下小伙喝着威士忌和黑麦

Singin' 'this will be the day that I die

歌唱吧 这将是我死去的那一天

This will be the day that I die

这将是我死去的那一天

Bye bye Miss American Pie

再见了 美国派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

开着雪佛兰车驶向河堤 但是河水早已干涸

And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

一个乡下小伙喝着威士忌和黑麦

Singin' 'this will be the day that I die

This will be the day that I die

这将是我死去的那一天

I start singin
