American Pie (Full Length Version)-Don McLean

American Pie (Full Length Version) - Don McLean Lyrics by£ºDon McLean Composed by£ºDon McLean A long long time ago I can still remember How that music used to make me smile
**享有本翻译作品的著作权 And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while
很久很久以前 But February made me shiver
我还记得 With every paper I'd deliver
音乐带给我的欢乐 Bad news on the doorstep
我知道若我有机会 I couldn't take one more step
我有法子让那些人跳舞 I can't remember if I cried
也许他们会高兴一阵子 When I read about his widowed bride
但二月的到来让我不寒而栗 But something touched me deep inside
我发表的每一篇文章 The day the music died
坏消息很快就传到了门口
我一步也走不动了 So bye-bye Miss American Pie
当我读到他的《widowed bride》 Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
我不记得我是否哭过 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
但某种东西触动了我的内心深处 Singing this'll be the day that I die
音乐消亡的那一天 This'll be the day that I die.
再见 美国甜饼小姐
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 Did you write the book of love
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 And do you have faith in God above
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天 If the Bible tells you so
这就是我死的那一天 Do you believe in rock 'n' roll
你写了爱情之书吗 Can music save your mortal soul
你们相信神在天上吗 And can you teach me how to dance real slow
如果圣经这样告诉你 Well I know that you're in love with him
那你相信摇滚乐吗 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
音乐能拯救你的灵魂吗 You both kicked off your shoes
你能教我怎样跳慢舞吗 Man I dig those rhythm and blues
我知道你爱上他了 I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
因为我看到你在健身房跳舞 With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
你们俩都把鞋脱了 But I knew I was out of luck
伙计 我喜欢节奏布鲁斯 The day the music died
我是一个孤独的少年 I started singing
我有粉色康乃馨和一辆小货车
我知道我的运气不好
音乐消亡的那一天 Bye bye Miss American Pie
我开始唱歌 Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
再见 美国甜饼小姐 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 Singing this'll be the day that I die
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 This'll be the day that I die.
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天
这就是我死的那一天 Now for ten years we've been on our own
十年来 我们一直是靠自己 And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
青苔在滚动的石头上长得很茂盛 But that's not how it used to be
但过去不是这样的 When the jester sang for the king and queen
小丑为国王和王后唱歌时 In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
他从James Dean那里借了一件外套 And a voice that came from you and me
外套里传出来自你我的声音 Oh and while the king was looking down
当国王低头看时 The jester stole his thorny crown
小丑偷走了他带刺的王冠 The courtroom was adjourned
法庭休庭 No verdict was returned
没有做出裁决 And while Lennon read a book on Marx
列侬读了一本关于马克思的书 The quartet practiced in the park
四人在公园里练习 And we sang dirges in the dark
我们在黑暗中唱着挽歌 The day the music died
音乐消亡的那一天 We were singing
我们在唱歌
再见 美国甜饼小姐 Bye bye Miss American Pie
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天 Singing this'll be the day that I die
这就是我死的那一天 This'll be the day that I die.
闷热的夏天使人手忙脚乱
鸟儿也飞走了 Helter skelter in a summer swelter
八英里高 下落速度快 The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
它落在草地上弄脏了 Eight miles high and falling fast
球员们试图向前传球 It landed foul on the grass
小丑在场边上投球 The players tried for a forward pass
现在中场休息 空气里弥漫着芬芳的香水味 With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
军士们奏起进行曲 Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
我们都站起来跳舞 While the sergeants played a marching tune
但我们一直没有机会 We all got up to dance
因为球员们都想上场 Oh but we never got the chance
军乐队拒绝让步 'Cause the players tried to take the field
你还记得这揭示了什么吗 The marching band refused to yield
音乐消亡的那一天 Do you recall what was revealed
我们开始唱歌 The day the music died
再见 美国甜饼小姐 We started singing
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 Bye bye Miss American Pie
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天 Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
这就是我死的那一天 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
我们都在一个地方 Singing this'll be the day that I die
迷失在太空中的一代 This'll be the day that I die.
没有时间重新开始
来吧 杰克 动作要敏捷要迅速 Oh and there we were all in one place
杰克坐在烛台上 A generation lost in space
因为火是魔鬼唯一的朋友 With no time left to start again
当我在舞台上看着他时 So come on: Jack be nimble Jack be quick
我愤怒地紧握双拳 Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
地狱里无天使 Cause fire is the devil's only friend
怎能打破撒旦的魔咒 Oh and as I watched him on the stage
火焰升上夜空 My hands were clenched in fists of rage
点燃祭祀的仪式 No angel born in hell
我看见撒旦高兴地大笑 Could break that Satan's spell
音乐消亡的那一天 And as the flames climbed high into the night
我们在唱歌 To light the sacrificial rite
再见 美国甜饼小姐 I saw Satan laughing with delight
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 The day the music died
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 We were singing
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天
这就是我死的那一天 Bye-bye Miss American Pie
我遇到一个唱蓝调的女孩 Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
我问她什么事这么开心 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
但她只是笑了笑 然后转过身去 Singing this'll be the day that I die
我去了那个神圣的商店 This'll be the day that I die.
那是我多年前听过这些音乐的地方
但是那里的人说音乐不会播放了 I met a girl who sang the blues
孩子们在街上尖叫打闹 And I asked her for some happy news
恋人在哭泣 诗人在遥想 But she just smiled and turned away
但是一句话也没说 I went down to the sacred store
教堂的钟声打破了沉静 Where I'd heard the music years before
我最崇拜的三个人 But the man there said the music wouldn't play
圣父圣子和圣灵 And in the streets: the children screamed
他们赶上了去海岸的最后一班火车 The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
音乐消亡的那一天 But not a word was spoken
他们在唱歌 The church bells all were broken
再见 美国甜饼小姐 And the three men I admire most:
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 The father son and the holy ghost
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 They caught the last train for the coast
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天 The day the music died
这就是我死的那一天 And they were singing
他们唱歌
再见 美国甜饼小姐 And there I stood alone and afraid
开着我的雪弗兰去河堤 但河堤已经干涸 I dropped to my knees and there I prayed
那些善良的老家伙喝着威士忌黑麦酒 And I promised him everything I could give
唱道 这将是我死亡的那一天 If only he would make the music live And he promised it would live once more But this time one would equal four And in five years four had come to mourn And the music was reborn Bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye Singing 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 And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye Singing this'll be the day that I die
