[00:01.49]A long long time ago
很久很久以前 [00:05.10]
我依然记得 音乐是如何让我会心微笑 [00:05.71]　　I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:11.64]
我知道 如果我有机会 [00:13.62]　　And I knew if I had my chance
[00:16.19]
我可以让人们闻乐起舞 [00:17.26]　　That I could make those people dance
也许他们会快乐好一阵子 [00:20.53]　　And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:24.02]
但二月使我颤抖 [00:27.25]　　But February made me shiver
[00:29.96]
因为我送的每一份报纸 [00:30.51]　　With every paper I'd deliver
[00:33.23]
都报道着噩耗 [00:34.31]　　Bad news on the doorstep
[00:37.27]
这使我举步维艰 [00:37.86]　　I couldn't take one more step
[00:41.25]
我不记得自己有没有哭 [00:42.45]　　I can't remember if I cried
当我读到他那位寡妇妻子的新闻时 [00:45.15]　　When I read about his widowed bride
[00:48.86]
某种情绪深深触动了我 [00:49.84]　　But something touched me deep inside
[00:53.80]
那天音乐都充满悲伤 [00:54.61]　　The day the music died
[00:59.13]
那么再见了 美国派小姐 [01:03.78]　　So Bye-bye Miss American Pie
开著雪佛兰到河堤上 [01:08.90]　　Drove my chevy to the levee
但河堤已干涸 [01:11.96]　　But the levee was dry
老好人们饮着威士忌和麦酒 [01:14.11]　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:17.47]
唱着这将会是我死的那一天 [01:18.48]　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[01:22.46]
这会是我死的那一天 [01:23.63]　　This'll be the day that I die

你写过爱之书吗 [01:29.94]　　Did you write the Book of Love
你相信天上的上帝吗 [01:33.17]　　And do you have faith in God above
如果圣经是这么告诉你的 [01:36.81]　　If the Bible tells you so
你相信摇滚乐吗 [01:41.55]　　Do you believe in rock 'n roll
音乐可以拯救你的灵魂吗 [01:45.06]　　Can music save your mortal soul
你可以教我如何放慢速度来跳舞吗 [01:48.50]　　And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:54.37]
我知道你爱上了他 [01:54.92]　　Well I know that you're in love with him
因为我看到你们在体育馆里跳舞 [01:59.02]　　'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
你们连鞋子都踢掉了 [02:02.57]　　You both kicked off your shoes
我深深地感受到了节奏和蓝调 [02:05.86]　　Man I dig those rhythm and blues
那时的我是个寂寞的年轻人 [02:08.75]　　I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
别着一朵粉红色的康乃馨 有一辆小货车 [02:12.65]　　With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
但我明白自己并不走运 [02:15.76]　　But I knew I was out of luck
那天音乐都充满悲伤 [02:19.20]　　The day the music died
