american pie簡介
《American Pie》堪稱一首史詩式的作品,縱觀全球樂壇,能將一首長達8分34秒的歌曲唱得不僅不讓人生厭,還讓人們津津樂道並傳頌幾十年的現象可謂少之又少,而唐 ·麥克林和他的《American Pie》就做到了,如果作品裏沒有引人入勝的敍事性、沒有內藴幽遠的深刻性,很難相信人們真會傻呆呆地將這麼長的時間消耗在一首歌曲裏。
《American Pie》是用音樂記錄美國六十年代歷史的一首史詩,沒有春風得意的讚美,也沒有針鋒相對的批判,有的只是在輕快的民謠節奏中娓娓地道來——那裏面有整整一個時代美國人所見、所思、所想,以及所經歷的往事,而事實上正是這樣不帶主觀評述的質樸歌聲,最終打動了一代又一代的美國人,甚至是美國以外的人。
american pie歌詞
英語原文 | 中文翻譯 |
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 of Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died Helter Skelter in a summer swelter The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fastIt landed foul out on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast 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 We started singing 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 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 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 And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing 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 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 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 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 And they were singing 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 They were singing bye-bye' Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die | 我依然記得從前那段時光 音樂總使我臉上泛起微笑 而我知道假如我有機會 讓那些人翩翩起舞 或許他們會開心一陣子 但二月讓我不停顫抖 伴隨我送出的每份報紙 壞消息躺在門口 我動彈不得 我記不起自己是否哭過 在我得知他遺孀的消息時 但有些事深深觸動了我 那一天 音樂已死去 那麼 再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早就乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着:有朝一日我將逝去 有朝一日我將逝去 愛之書是你寫的嗎 假如聖經告訴你這些 你會信仰上帝嗎 你會相信搖滾嗎 音樂能拯救你終將死去的靈魂嗎 你能教我怎麼慢慢舞蹈嗎 好吧 我知道你已經愛上了他 因為我看到你們在健身房雙雙起舞 還踢掉了你們的舞鞋 哥們 我終於搞懂了節奏藍調 我曾是個孤獨少年 伴着一朵粉色康乃馨和一輛皮卡車 但我知道自己不夠幸運 那一天 音樂已死去 我開始歌唱 再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早就乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着:有朝一日我將逝去 有朝一日我將逝去 十年後的現在屬於我們 滾石上生長着苔蘚 但已不是當年的樣子 當那小丑向國王與王后獻唱時 他穿着向詹姆斯迪恩借來的外套 聲音卻來自你我之間 哦,當國王點頭之時 那小丑盜走了他的荊棘王冠 法庭休庭了 沒有判決返還 當列儂讀馬克思時 四重奏在公園上演 我們於黑暗之中唱起輓歌 在音樂死去的那天 殺人王曼森在炎炎夏日出沒 飛鳥樂隊飛過沉降物掩蔽所 從八英里高的地方急速墜下 最終落在草地上 球員們試着傳球前進 場邊坐着那個小丑 中場休息時的空氣又香又甜 此時中士吹響了進行曲 我們都起身跳舞 哦,但我們再無機會了 因為球員即將上場 軍樂隊拒絕讓步 你是否會想起什麼? 那一天 音樂已死去 開始唱着 再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早已乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着:有朝一日我將逝去 有朝一日我將逝去 哦,我們曾聚在一處 在太空中迷失的一代 已沒有時間重來 所以加油啊 傑克快點兒 再快點兒 傑克弗萊士坐在燭台 因為火焰是魔鬼唯一的朋友 哦,當我看到他在舞台上 我雙手憤怒地握緊拳頭 沒有天使生於地獄 怎能打碎撒旦的詛咒 火焰升到夜空中 照亮了整個祭祀儀式 我看見撒旦得意的笑 那一天 音樂已死去 他唱着 再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早已乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着:有朝一日我將逝去 有朝一日我將逝去 我遇見一個唱藍調的姑娘 我問她 是否有好消息 而她只是笑着轉身離去 我又走到那家唱片店 多年前我曾在這兒聽過音樂 但那兒的人告訴我 音樂再也不會播放 在街上 孩子們高聲尖叫着 情侶們哭泣着 而詩人們做着夢 卻都一言不發 教堂的鐘都被打破 而我最欣賞三個人 聖父 聖子和聖靈 他們趕上了前往海岸的最後一班列車 那一天 音樂已死去 他們唱着再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早已乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着 有朝一日我將逝去 有朝一日我將逝去 他們唱着:再見吧 美國派小姐 開着我的雪弗蘭前往堤岸 然而堤岸早已乾涸 那些老男孩喝着黑麥威士忌 唱着:有朝一日我將逝去 |
