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 theyand'd be happy for a while
but february made me shiver
with every paper iand'd deliver
bad news on the doorstep
i couldnand't take one more step
i canand't remember if i cried
when i read about his widowed bride
but something touched me deep inside
**the day the music died**
so...
(chorus)
bye, bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
singinand' thisand'll be the day that i die
thisand'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 youand're in love with him
and'cause i saw you dancinand' in the gym
you both kicked off your shoes
man, i dig those rhythm and blues
i was a lonely teenage broncinand' buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but i knew i was out of luck
the day the music died
i started singinand'
(chorus)
Now, for ten years weand've been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone
but, thatand'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 lenin 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 singinand'
(chorus)
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
eight miles high and falling fast
it landed foul 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 sergeants played a marching tune
we all got up to dance
oh, but we never got the chance
and'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 singinand'
(chorus)
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
and'cause fire is the deviland's only friend
and as i watched him on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage
no angel born in hell
could break that satanand'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 singinand'
(chorus)
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 iand'd heard the music years before
but the man there said the music wouldnand'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
(chorus, 2x)
Mucho tiempo hace mucho tiempo
Todavía recuerdo cómo
que la música me hacía sonreír
y yo sabía que si tenía mi oportunidad
que yo podría hacer esa gente baile
y tal vez theyand'd ser feliz por un rato
pero febrero me hizo temblar
con todos los periódicos iand'd entregar
las malas noticias en la puerta
i couldnand't dar un paso más
i canand't recuerdo si lloré
Cuando leí acerca de su esposa viuda
pero algo me tocó muy adentro
** El día que murió la música **
así que ...
(Coro)
bye, bye te pierdas american pie
Conduje mi Chevy al dique pero el dique estaba seco
los buenos muchachos ole bebían whisky y centeno
thisand'll singinand 'el día que me muera
thisand'll ser el día que me muera
¿Escribió el libro del amor
y tienes fe en Dios por encima de
Si la Biblia se dice así?
ahora ¿usted cree en el rock and roll?
¿Puede la música salvar tu alma mortal?
y me puedes enseñar a bailar muy despacio?
Bueno, yo sé que youand're enamorada de él
and'cause te vi dancinand 'en el gimnasio
que ambos iniciaron sus zapatos
hombre, i cavar los rhythm and blues
Yo era un adolescente solitario broncinand 'buck
con una
