Lyrics by：Don McLean
Composed by：Don McLean
A long long time ago
很久很久以前
I can still remember
我仍记得
How that music used to make me smile
那音乐曾让我微笑
And I knew if I had my chance
我知道若有机会
That I could make those people dance
我能让人们起舞
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
或许他们会快乐片刻
But February made me shiver
但二月让我颤抖
With every paper I'd deliver
随着我递出的每一份报纸
Bad news on the doorstep
噩耗传来，门前驻足
I couldn't take one more step
我再也迈不出一步
I can't remember if I cried
是否流泪，我已记不清
When I read about his widowed bride
当我读到他那位丧偶的新娘
But something touched me deep inside
但有什么深深触动了我的心
The day the music died
音乐消逝的那一天
So bye-bye Miss American Pie
再见了，亲爱的美国派
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
驾着我的雪佛兰车驶向堤岸，却见河水已枯竭
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye
而那些老伙计们，正饮着威士忌与黑麦酒
Singin' \"This'll be the day that I die\"
唱着：“这将是我生命终结之日”
\"This'll be the day that I die\"
“这将是我生命终结之日”
Did you write the book of love
你是否曾谱写爱的诗篇
And do you have faith in God above
你是否信仰天上的主
If the Bible tells you so
若圣经如此告诉你
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
你是否相信摇滚乐
Can music save your mortal soul
音乐能否救赎你凡俗的灵魂
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
你可否教我如何真正慢舞
Well I know that you're in love with him
我知你已心有所属，情定于他
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
因我曾见你在舞厅里翩翩起舞
You both kicked off your shoes
你们都曾脱下鞋履，无拘无束
Man I dig those rhythm and blues
我深爱着那节奏蓝调
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
我曾是个孤独的青春期躁动少年
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
胸前别着粉色康乃馨，驾驶着一辆皮卡车
But I knew I was out of luck
我深知好运已逝
The day the music died
音乐消逝的那一天
I started singin' \"Bye-bye Miss American Pie\"

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye

Now for ten years we've been on our own
如今十年已过 我们孤立无援
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
青苔在滚石上肆意生长
But that's not how it used to be
但那已非昔日模样
When the jester sang for the king and queen
当弄臣为国王与王后献唱之时
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
穿着从詹姆斯·迪恩那里借来的夹克
And a voice that came from you and me
歌声源自你我心间
Oh and while the king was looking down
哦 当国王垂首低眉之际
The jester stole his thorny crown
弄臣窃走了他那荆棘王冠
The courtroom was adjourned
法庭的喧嚣戛然而止
No verdict was returned
没有判决作出
And while Lennon read a book on Marx

The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark
黑暗中，我们唱起挽歌

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
盛夏酷暑中，一切混乱无序
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
鸟儿携着防空洞，振翅高飞
Eight miles high and fallin' fast

It landed foul on the grass

The players tried for a forward pass

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume

While the sergeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance

Oh but we never got the chance

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in hell
纵使天使生于炼狱
Could break that Satan's spell
