American Pie
Don McLean
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
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
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
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
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
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
I started singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling 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
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
A long long time ago
Hace mucho, mucho tiempo
I can still remember how that music
Todavía puedo recordar cómo esa música
Used to make me smile
Me hacía sonreír
And I knew if I had my chance
Y sabía que si tenía mi oportunidad
That I could make those people dance
Podía hacer bailar a esa gente
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
Y tal vez estarían contentos por un tiempo
But February made me shiver
Pero febrero me hizo temblar
With every paper I'd deliver
Con cada papel que entregaba
Bad news on the doorstep
Malas noticias en la puerta
I couldn't take one more step
No pude dar un paso más
I can't remember if I cried when I
No recuerdo si lloré cuando
Read about his widowed bride
Leí sobre su novia viuda
But something touched me deep inside
Pero algo me tocó en lo más profundo
The day the music
El día en que la música
Died
Murió
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Así que adiós, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Conduje mi Chevy hasta el dique pero el dique estaba seco
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
Los buenos viejos muchachos estaban bebiendo whisky de centeno
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
Cantando este será el día en que muera
This'll be the day that I die
Este será el día en que muera
Did you write the book of love
Escribiste el libro del amor
And do you have faith in God above
¿Y tienes fe en el Dios de arriba
If the Bible tells you so?
Si la Biblia te lo dice?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
¿Ahora crees en el rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
¿Puede la música salvar tu alma mortal?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
¿Y puedes enseñarme a bailar muy lento?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
Bueno, sé que estás enamorada de él
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
Porque te vi bailar en el gimnasio
You both kicked off your shoes
Los dos se quitaron los zapatos
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
Amigo, me gustan esos ritmos y blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
Yo era un solitario adolescente rebelde
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
Con un clavel rosa y una camioneta
But I knew I was out of luck
Pero sabía que no tenía suerte
The day the music died
El día que murió la música
I started singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
Empecé a cantar adiós, adiós Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Conduje mi Chevy hasta el dique pero el dique estaba seco
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
Los buenos viejos muchachos estaban bebiendo whisky de centeno
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
Cantando este será el día en que muera
This'll be the day that I die
Este será el día en que muera
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
Ahora, durante diez años hemos estado solos
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
Y el musgo crece sobre un canto rodado
But, that's not how it used to be
Pero, no es así como solía ser
When the jester sang for the king and queen
Cuando el bufón cantó para el rey y la reina
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Con un abrigo que le pidió prestado a James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Y una voz que vino de ti y de mí
Oh, and while the king was looking down
Oh, y mientras el rey miraba hacia abajo
The jester stole his thorny crown
El bufón le robó la corona de espinas
The courtroom was adjourned
Se levantó la sesión
No verdict was returned
No se emitió ningún veredicto
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
Y mientras Lennon leía un libro sobre Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
El cuarteto practicaba en el parque
And we sang dirges in the dark
Y cantamos cantos fúnebres en la oscuridad
The day the music died
El día que murió la música
We were singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
Estábamos cantando adiós, adiós Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Conduje mi Chevy hasta el dique pero el dique estaba seco

This'll be the day that I die
Este será el día en que muera
Bye, bye Miss American Pie

A long long time ago
Já faz muito tempo
I can still remember how that music
Ainda me lembro como aquela canção
Used to make me smile
Me fazia sorrir
And I knew if I had my chance
E eu sabia que se eu tivesse minha chance
That I could make those people dance
Que eu poderia fazer aquelas pessoas dançarem
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
E talvez elas ficassem felizes por um tempo
But February made me shiver
Mas fevereiro me fez tremer
With every paper I'd deliver
Com cada jornal que eu entreguei
Bad news on the doorstep
Más notícias à porta
I couldn't take one more step
Eu não poderia dar mais um passo
I can't remember if I cried when I
Não consigo me lembrar se chorei quando eu

Mas algo me tocou profundamente
The day the music
No dia em que a música
Died
Morreu
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Então tchau, tchau Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Cantando, este será o dia em que eu morrerei
This'll be the day that I die

Porque eu vi vocês dançando no ginásio
You both kicked off your shoes
Vocês dois tiraram os sapatos
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
Cara, como eu curto rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
Eu era um adolescente solitário e desajeitado
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
Com um cravo rosa e uma picape
But I knew I was out of luck
Mas eu sabia que estava sem sorte
The day the music died
No dia em que a música morreu
I started singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie

Mas, não era assim antes
When the jester sang for the king and queen
Quando o bobo da corte cantava para o rei e a rainha

Usando um casaco que ele pediu emprestado a James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
E uma voz que veio de você e de mim
Oh, and while the king was looking down
Oh, e enquanto o rei estava olhando para baixo
The jester stole his thorny crown
O bobo roubou sua coroa espinhosa

Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n' Rye
そして昔ながらの男たちがライ麦のウィスキーを飲んでる
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
これが僕の死ぬ日だと歌ってる
This'll be the day that I die
これが僕の死ぬ日なんだ
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
さようなら、ミス・アメリカンパイ
[Wstęp]
W przeszłości, dawno tak
Wciąż pamiętam jak te dźwięki radość
Niosły smutkom wbrew
I gdybym zerwał raz swój łańcuch
Sprawiłbym by ludzie w tańcu
Czuli choć przez chwilę szczęścia zew
Lecz styczeń zmroził dreszczy sforą
Z każdą gazetą doręczoną
Strasznych newsów tłok
Nie mogłem nic – żal i szok
Plakałem wtedy? Trudno rzec
Że wdowi los przyjdzie jej biec
Lecz coś ruszyło w głębi mnie
Muzyka kończy się
[Refren]
Więc żegnam znów Amerykę ze snów
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Zwrotka 1]
Pisałeś miłości tom?
Czy w sercu Bóg z niebiańskich stron?
Skoro Biblia głosi to...
Czy wierzysz w wieczny rock and roll?
Czy duszę zbawi gitar ton?
Czy pokażеsz jak prowadzić w tańcu krok?
Wiem, że zakochana jestеś w nim
Widzę jak tańczycie pełni sił
Bez butów – czuć ten luz
Tak, to właśnie rhytm and blues!
Byłem samotnym szczylem – dziki zew
Blada cera, pickup – byle ludziom wbrew
Lecz szczęście opuściło mnie
Muzyka kończy się
[Refren]
Zacząłem śpiewać: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Zwrotka 2]
Więc jesteśmy sami dziesięć lat
Muzykę starą porwał wiatr
Tak show biznes toczy się
Kiedy błazen dla królowej gra
I kurtkę Deana na ramionach ma
A w ustach głos skradziony wszystkim nam
A gdy królowa zerka w bok
Cierniowy diadem kradnie łotr
Rozprawę trafił szlag
Wyroku również brak
I gdy Lenin Marksa czytać chce
Kwartetu w parku słychać śpiew
Żałobnych pieśni smutny wiew
Muzyka kończy się
[Refren]
Śpiewaliśmy: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Zwrotka 3]
Helter Skelter w letni skwar
Ptaki chronią się i lecą w dal
Szybko w górę - potem trzask
Na trawie martwe niczym głaz
Czy gracze miną trucheł las?
A na liniach błazen z teamem – doping mas
Po połowie gry rozkoszny smak
Sierżant Pieprz żałobne nuty gra
Do tańca wstańmy więc?
Nie – to nie jest nasza pieśń
Chcą szturmem gracze scenę brać
Żałobny band przestanie grać?
Co potem działo się – już wiesz
Muzyka kończy się
[Refren]
Więc wciąż śpiewamy: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Zwrotka 4]
To pokolenie całe tam, zgubiony w czasie szumny gwar
Nie da się zacząć jeszcze raz...
Więc dalej, Jack, bądź szybki - zwinny krok
By wnet podpalić wątły lont
Bo ogień to szatana wieczny druh
Gdy Jack na scenie wije się
Ja ściskam w gniewie pięści swe
Diabelski to jest sznyt
Nie złamie go tu nikt
I płomienie pełzną w mroczny byt
Rozświetlić ten ofiarny ryt
A Szatan śmiechem ciszę rżnie
Muzyka kończy się
[Refren]
Zacząłem śpiewać: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Załamanie]
Śpiewała blues, spytałem ją
O jakieś wieści z dobrych stron
Uśmiechu ślad, na wargach róż...
Poszedłem dalej – święty sklep
Gdzie rodził się muzyczny zew
Powiedzieli, że muzyki nie ma już
A na ulicach dzieci wrzask
Kochanków płacz, impresji las
Lecz słowa nikt nie pisnął
Kościelne dzwony milczą
A tych, co wielbię z całych sił
To Ojciec, Święty Duch i Syn
Odeszli – został po nich pył
Muzyka kończy się
[Nieużyta zwrotka]
Niczym osika trząsłem się
Na klęcznik dałem kolana swe
Obiecałem Mu wszystko dać
By muzyka mogła jeszcze grać
I obiecał, że odżyje jeszcze raz
Lecz jeden wczoraj to czterech już
I gdy na wspomnieniu osiądzie kurz
Wnet muzyka odrodzi się
[Refren]
I zaśpiewali: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
[Końcówka]
Zaśpiewali: „Żegnaj znów Ameryko ze znów”
Jadę wozem nad wąwozem, woda nie spływa z gór
A stary druh wyciągnął whiskey na stół
Śpiewa: „Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
„Dziś alkohol zetnie mnie w pół”
