A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
记忆中，很久以前
那音乐曾让我那么快乐
要是我也有机会，我一定会使人们舞动起来
或许他们也能体会那份愉悦吧
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
二月，我打着寒颤
送着手里的报纸
噩耗，出现在眼前
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
我已不记得
当读及那已然是寡妇的新娘时
我或曾掉泪？
但我清楚地记得内心深处的震颤
那天，那音乐死去
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
是你写了爱之书么？
你还相信上帝
相信圣经里的每句话么？
还是你更相信摇滚
音乐可以挽救你的灵魂
教我轻舞飞扬
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
我知道你爱上了他
我目睹了你们在场上舞蹈
你们的鞋扔在一旁
呵，我太喜欢那段R&B了。
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
我当时像是一匹年轻的野马
粉色康乃馨，一辆小货车
终于，我的好运有到头的一天
那天，那音乐死去了
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
10年来，我们自力更生
滚石上也生出厚厚的苔
过去又怎会如此？
小丑向国王与皇后献歌
身上穿着James Dean的衣服
嘴上唱着我们的心声
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
国王已老眼昏花
小丑将王冠偷取
法院休庭
裁决不了了之
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
杀人狂汗流浃背
鸟群带着辐射防尘罩飞着
在八英里上空疾速落下
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
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
半场休息，香烟弥漫
场上军士们着前进的号角
我们起身欲舞
却完全没有机会
球员们想要进入球场
这雄起的乐队毫不让步
你能回想起，那天意味着什么么？
就在音乐死去的那天
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
那天，我们齐聚一堂
我们这代人已经迷失在太空中
一切再难从头
来吧，Jack！动作快！
Jack Flash活在烛台上
烈焰，是恶魔仅有的朋友
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
我注视着台上的他
握紧愤怒的双拳
地狱何来天使？
没有人可以破除撒旦的魔咒
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
烈焰直冲夜空
照亮了这祭礼
我看见了撒旦得意的笑
就在音乐死去那天
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
遇见一位唱蓝调的女孩
我上前去打听一些好消息
她却嫣然一笑，转身而去
我又前往那心中神圣的音像店
许多年前，那音乐曾在这响起
但店里的人却不愿放给我听
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
大街上，孩子们在哭叫
情侣们在吟泣，诗人们在空想
没有任何话语
连教堂的钟都毁了
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
我最敬爱的三个人
圣父、圣子及圣灵
搭上了去西岸的最后一班列车
那天，那音乐死去
下面是出现了七次的副歌部分：
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
再会了，美国派姑娘
我驾着小货车去河堤
河堤却枯干着
旧日的好搭档们喝着威士忌酒
唱着这一天我就要死去
这一天，我就要死去
