1971年，一直默默无闻的美国民谣歌手Don McLean A long, long time ago, I can still remember 我依旧铭记那段旧时光 How that music used to make me smile 音乐总是让我莞尔微笑 And I knew if I had my chance 而我明白 如果我有机会 That I could make those people dance 能让那些人翩翩起舞 And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while. 他们也许会开心一阵子 But February made me shiver with every paper I’d deliver. 但我在二月送出的每份报纸都令我不寒而栗 Bad news on the doorstep 噩耗就躺在门阶上 I couldn’t take one more step. 我的腿像灌铅了一样 I can’t remember if I cried 我忘记我是否流下了眼泪 When I read about his widowed bride 当我得知他遗孀的消息 but something touched me deep inside 但有些事却深深触动了我 the day the music died. 那日，音乐已死 So bye-bye, miss American pie. 那么，再见吧，美国派小姐 Drove my Chevy to the levee 开着我的雪弗兰到了码头 But the levee was dry. 可惜码头早已干涸 |
