AMERICAN PIE
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
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
Well I know that you're in love with him
Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man I dig those rhythm'n'blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup 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
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die
This will 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
Well 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
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 most
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
We started 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
Singing this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
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
Singing this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
We started singing
We started singing
We started singing
We started singing..

AMERICAN PIE (TRADUCIDA)
Hace mucho, mucho tiempo
aún puedo recordar
como la música me hacia sonreír
y sé que si tuviera una sola oportunidad
podría hacer a esa gente bailar
y quizá serian felices por un momento
Escribiste tú el libro del amor
y tienes fe en el Dios de allá arriba
si la Biblia te dice eso
ahora, crees en Rock & roll
y puede la música salvar tu alma mortal
y puede enseñarte como bailar realmente lento
bueno, sé que estas enamorada de él
por que los vi bailando en el gimnasio
ambos se quitaron los zapatos
y yo hice de Dios un ritmo y un blues
yo era un triste adolescente sin nada de suerte
con un gran clavel y una camioneta Pick-up
pero supe que me había quedado sin suerte
el día que la música murió
comencé a cantar
Así que adiós adiós Señorita Pastel Americano
manejé mi Chevy hasta el huerto
pero esté estaba vacío
y los viejos chicos buenos
estaban tomando whiskey y centeno
al cantar esto será el día que moriré
será el día que moriré
Conocí a una chica que cantaba el blues
y le pregunte por algunas buenas noticias
pero solo me sonrió y se marchó
bien. entonces bajé hasta la tienda sagrada
donde escuché la música años atrás
pero el hombre de ahí, me dijo, que la música no tocaría
En la calle los niños gritaron
los amantes lloraron y los poetas soñaron
pero ni una palabra fue dicha
las campanas de la iglesia todas rotas
y los tres hombres que yo más admiraba
el padre, el hijo y el espíritu santo
tomaron el último tren a la costa
el día que la música murió
comencé a cantar
Así que adiós adiós Señorita Pastel Americano
manejé mi Chevy hasta el huerto
pero esté estaba vacío
y los viejos chicos buenos
estaban tomando whiskey y centeno
al cantar esto será el día que moriré
será el día que moriré
Así que adiós adiós Señorita Pastel Americano
manejé mi Chevy hasta el huerto
pero esté estaba vacío
y los viejos chicos buenos
estaban tomando whiskey y centeno
al cantar esto será el día que moriré
será el día que moriré
Comenzamos a cantar
