[00:00:00] Lyrics by：Don McLean

[00:00:01]

[00:00:01] Composed by：Don McLean

[00:00:01]

[00:00:01] A long long time ago

[00:00:05] 很久很久以前

[00:00:05] I can still remember

[00:00:07] 我仍记得

[00:00:07] How that music used to make me smile

[00:00:12] 音乐给我带来的快乐

[00:00:12] And I knew if I had my chance

[00:00:16] 我明白若我有机会

[00:00:16] That I could make those people dance

[00:00:19] 用我的音乐让别人忘却烦恼

[00:00:19] And maybe they'd be happy for a while

[00:00:26] 哪怕只是短暂的快乐也好

[00:00:26] But February made me shiver

[00:00:29] 犹记得那年我还是个送报童

[00:00:29] With every paper I'd deliver

[00:00:33] 那一年的二月我很痛苦

[00:00:33] Bad news on the doorstep

[00:00:37] 我记得报纸的头条写着：

[00:00:37] I couldn't take one more step

[00:00:41] Buddy Holly（歌手）死了

[00:00:41] I can't remember if I cried

[00:00:44] 更难过的是 他正准备结婚

[00:00:44] When I read about his widowed bride

[00:00:49] 而我不记得当时是不是哭了

[00:00:49] But something touched me deep inside

[00:00:54] 但我有种强烈的念头

[00:00:54] The day the music died

[00:01:03] 我知道 他死的那天 音乐也离我而去

[00:01:03] So bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:01:08] 当时我的生活 像是一片空白

[00:01:08] Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

[00:01:13] 我开着车想去酒吧买醉 但酒吧没有开门

[00:01:13] And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye

[00:01:18] 于是我去了另一家酒吧 狂饮威士忌

[00:01:18] Singin' "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:01:23] 高唱着“我和我的心都已死”

[00:01:23] "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:01:30] 这一天我和我的心都已死

[00:01:30] Did you write the book of love

[00:01:32] 写这首《the book of Love》的你

[00:01:32] And do you have faith in God above

[00:01:36] 是否是上帝的虔诚信徒？

[00:01:36] If the Bible tells you so

[00:01:40] 如果你相信圣经所言

[00:01:40] Now do you believe in rock 'n roll

[00:01:44] 那你还会热爱摇滚吗？

[00:01:44] Can music save your mortal soul

[00:01:48] 对音乐的热爱 能否超越你对死亡的恐惧？

[00:01:48] And can you teach me how to dance real slow

[00:01:54] 你能教我怎么跳慢舞吗？

[00:01:54] Well I know that you're in love with him

[00:01:57] 我知道你爱他（猫王和艳星Ann Margarat）

[00:01:57] 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym

[00:02:01] 因为你们还同台默契演出过

[00:02:01] You both kicked off your shoes

[00:02:04] 你们还忘情的踢掉了鞋子

[00:02:04] Man I dig those rhythm and blues

[00:02:08] 哥们 我就是爱R&B

[00:02:08] I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

[00:02:11] 那时的我还是个身无分文的寂寞男孩

[00:02:11] With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

[00:02:15] 手拿着粉色康乃馨 开着一台破卡车

[00:02:15] But I knew I was out of luck

[00:02:18] 我知道好运不曾与我有缘

[00:02:18] The day the music died

[00:02:24] 我知道 他死的那天 音乐也离我而去

[00:02:24] I started singin' "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"

[00:02:28] 于是我开始唱着：再见了 我的人生

[00:02:28] Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

[00:02:32] 我开着车想去酒吧买醉 但酒吧没有开门

[00:02:32] Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye

[00:02:35] 于是我去了另一家酒吧 狂饮威士忌

[00:02:35] And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:02:39] 高唱着“我和我的心都已死”

[00:02:39] "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:02:44] 这一天我和我的心都已死

[00:02:44] Now for ten years we've been on our own

[00:02:48] 你死后的这十年 我们努力地活着

[00:02:48] And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone

[00:02:51] 结果滚石乐队也没了

[00:02:51] But that's not how it used to be

[00:02:56] 不过一切都变了

[00:02:56] When the jester sang for the king and queen

[00:03:00] 现在Bob Dylan穿着皮夹克

[00:03:00] In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

[00:03:03] 陪猫王和皇后合唱团唱歌

[00:03:03] And a voice that came from you and me

[00:03:10] Bob Dylan走民谣风 结果他红了

[00:03:10] Oh and while the king was looking down

[00:03:14] 当猫王逝世之后

[00:03:14] The jester stole his thorny crown

[00:03:18] Bob Dylan就成为摇滚一哥

[00:03:18] The courtroom was adjourned

[00:03:21] 猫王和Dylan到底谁比较好呢？

[00:03:21] No verdict was returned

[00:03:24] 永远没人知道

[00:03:24] And while Lennon read a book on Marx

[00:03:28] 列侬说自己爱马克思

[00:03:28] The quartet practiced in the park

[00:03:31] 结果披头士就爆红了

[00:03:31] And we sang dirges in the dark

[00:03:35] 我为Buddy Holly唱哀歌

[00:03:35] The day the music died

[00:03:40] 我知道 他死的那天 音乐也离我而去

[00:03:40] We were singin' "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"

[00:03:45] 我们开始唱着“再见了 我的人生”

[00:03:45] Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

[00:03:48] 我开着车想去酒吧买醉 但酒吧没有开门

[00:03:48] Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye

[00:03:51] 于是我去了另一家酒吧 狂饮威士忌

[00:03:51] And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:03:56] 高唱着“我和我的心都已死”

[00:03:56] "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:04:01] 这一天我和我的心都已死

[00:04:01] Helter skelter in a summer swelter

[00:04:04] 音乐可以成为犯罪工具

[00:04:04] The birds flew off with a fallout shelter

[00:04:08] 那时候做音乐的人们都**

[00:04:08] Eight miles high and fallin' fast

[00:04:14] 所以红得快

[00:04:14] It landed foul on the grass

[00:04:16] 死得早

[00:04:16] The players tried for a forward pass

[00:04:19] 大家都在反战（60年代的越战和反战运动）

[00:04:19] With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

[00:04:26] Bob Dylan出车祸

[00:04:26] Now the half-time air was sweet perfume

[00:04:30] 大家都在**

[00:04:30] While the sergeants played a marching tune

[00:04:34] 披头士在歌唱（Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band专辑名）

[00:04:34] We all got up to dance

[00:04:37] 有些人颓废堕落

[00:04:37] Oh but we never got the chance

[00:04:40] 有些人死在沙场

[00:04:40] 'Cause the players tried to take the field

[00:04:45] 因为战争越惨烈 人越愤怒

[00:04:45] The marching band refused to yield

[00:04:48] 摇滚乐也是

[00:04:48] Do you recall what was revealed

[00:04:51] 那些年我们究竟学到了什么？你记得吗？

[00:04:51] The day the music died

[00:04:57] 我知道 他死的那天 音乐也离我而去

[00:04:57] We started singin' "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"

[00:05:01] 我们开始唱着“再见了 我的人生”

[00:05:01] Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

[00:05:05] 我开着车想去酒吧买醉 但酒吧没有开门

[00:05:05] Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey 'n rye

[00:05:08] 于是我去了另一家酒吧 狂饮威士忌

[00:05:08] And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:05:12] 高唱着“我和我的心都已死”

[00:05:12] "This'll be the day that I die"

[00:05:16] 这一天我和我的心都已死

[00:05:16] Oh and there we were all in one place

[00:05:21] 我们都聚集在同一个地方

[00:05:21] A generation lost in space

[00:05:24] 成了太空中迷失的一代

[00:05:24] With no time left to start again

[00:05:29] 来不及重振旗鼓

[00:05:29] So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick

[00:05:33] 注：滚石乐队的《Jumping Jack Flash》歌词

[00:05:33] Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

[00:05:36] 滚石乐队《Jumping Jack Flash》歌词

[00:05:36] 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

[00:05:43] 滚石乐队的那年演唱会

[00:05:43] Oh and as I watched him on the stage

[00:05:46] 大家都很疯狂 还闹出了人命

[00:05:46] My hands were clenched in fists of rage

[00:05:50] 那天看演唱会 我双手激动地紧握着不曾松开

[00:05:50] No angel born in hell

[00:05:54] 这个重机车队

[00:05:54] Could break that Satan's spell

[00:05:56] 的确是从撒旦的夺命使者

[00:05:56] And as the flames climbed high into the night

[00:06:01] 那天晚上疯过头

[00:06:01] To light the sacrificial rite

[00:06:04] 像是地狱的祭典

[00:06:04] I saw Satan laughing with delight

[00:06:07] 我仿佛看到撒旦在笑 这就是乐极生悲啊！

[00:06:07] The day the music died

[00:06:13] 我知道 他死的那天 音乐也离我而去

[00:06:13] He was singin' "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"

[00:06:38] And I asked her for some happy news

[00:06:42] 我问她有没有什么好事啊

[00:06:42] But she just smiled and turned away

[00:06:47] 她忽然就死了 还面带微笑

[00:06:47] I went down to the sacred store

[00:06:50] 我去旧金山的

[00:06:50] Where I'd heard the music years before

[00:06:54] 唱片行里逛

[00:06:54] But the man there said the music wouldn't play

[00:07:02] 但是都找不到她的唱片

[00:07:02] And in the streets the children screamed

[00:07:06] 旧金山的街头有小孩尖叫

[00:07:06] The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

[00:07:09] 尽情哭吧 大家都来做白日梦吧

[00:07:09] But not a word was spoken

[00:07:13] 但没有人在意Buddy Holly的死

[00:07:13] The church bells all were broken

[00:07:17] 也没有人哀悼他

[00:07:17] And the three men I admire most

[00:07:21] 三个我最敬爱的人

[00:07:21] The Father Son and the Holy Ghost

[00:07:25] 他们代表着不朽的音乐

[00:07:25] They caught the last train for the coast

[00:07:29] 他们都搭上了死亡列车（Buddy Holly、Richie Valens和The Big Bopper三位摇滚歌手）
