Текст песни: American Pie + перевод

A long, long time ago I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew that if I had a chance

I could make those people dance

And maybe theyd be happy for a while

Well, I know that youre in love with him

cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes

Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broken buck

With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck

But I knew that I was out of luck the day the music died

I started singing

Bye, bye, Miss American pie

Drove my chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing: this will be the day when I die

This will be the day when 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 n roll?

And can music save your mortal soul?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Bye, bye, Miss American pie

Drove my chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing: this will be the day when I die

This will be the day when 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

Well, I went down to the sacred store

Where Id heard the music years before

But the man there said the music wouldnt play

Well now 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 the most

The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train

To the coast the day the music died

Bye, bye, Miss American pie

Drove my chevy to the levee

But the levee was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing: this will be the day when I die

This will be the day when I die
