American Pie 【 美國派 】



Bye, bye, Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee
開著雪佛蘭到河堤上
But the levee was dry
但河堤已乾涸
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
老好人們飲著威士忌和麥酒
Singing this'll be the day that I die
唱著這會是我死的那一天
This'll be the day that I die
這會是我死的那一天

Did you write the book of love
你寫過愛之書嗎
And do you have faith in God above
你相信天上的上帝嗎
If the Bible tells you so
如果聖經是這麼告訴你的
Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll
你相信搖滾樂嗎
And can music save your mortal soul
音樂可以拯救你的靈魂嗎
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
你可以教我如何放慢速度來跳舞嗎

Well, I know that you're in love with him
我知道妳愛上了他
'Cos I saw you dancin' in the gym
因為我看到你們在體育館裡跳舞
You both kicked off your shoes
你們踢掉鞋子
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
老天，我深深感受到節奏與藍調

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
那時的我是個寂寞的年輕人
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
別著一朵粉紅色的康乃馨,有一輛小貨車
But I knew that I was out of luck
但我明白自己並不走運
The day the music died
在音樂死亡的那一天
I started singing
我開始唱著.....

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
再見了，美國派小姐
Drove my Chevy to the levee
開著雪佛蘭到河堤上
But the levee was dry
但河堤已乾涸
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
老好人們飲著威士忌和麥酒
Singing this'll be the day that I die
唱著這會是我死的那一天
This'll be the day that I die
這會是我死的那一天

Now for ten years we've been on our own,
如今十年了，我們全靠自己熬過來了
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
滾動的石頭上長滿了青苔
But that's not how it used to be
但它原來不是這個樣子的
When the jester sang for the king and queen
當弄臣為國王與皇后歌唱
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
穿著向詹姆斯狄恩借來的外套
In a voice that came from you and me
用來自你我的聲音
And while the king was looking down,
當國王低頭
The jester stole his thorny crown
弄臣偷走了荊棘桂冠
The courtroom was adjourned,
法庭當時休會
No verdict was returned
沒有任何判決宣判
And while Lenin read a book on Marx,
當藍尼讀著馬克思主義的書
The quartet practiced in the park
四重奏在公園裡排練
And we sang dirges in the dark
我們在黑暗中唱著輓歌
The day the music died, I started singing
在音樂死去的那天,我們唱著.....

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
再見了，美國派小姐
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
開著雪佛蘭到河堤上，但河堤已乾涸
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
老好人們飲著威士忌和麥酒
Singing this will be the day that I die,
唱著這會是我死的那一天
This will be the day that I die
這會是我死的那一天

I started singing
我開始唱著.....

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
再見了，美國派小姐
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
開著雪佛蘭到河堤上，但河堤已乾涸
bye, bye Miss American Pie
