American pie (album version)

在很久很久以前
I can sitll remember how.
記憶仍存留腦海
That music used 2 make me smile.
那首歌曾帶給我喜悅
And I knew that if I had my chance.
明知若還有機會
That I could make those people dance.
我還能讓大家手舞足蹈
And maybe they'd be happy 4 a while.
歡樂時分或許還會駐足片刻

Did U write the book of love.
是否你寫過這《愛之書》
And do U have faith in God above.
是否你信仰天上的主
If the Bible tells U so?
又是否是這經書告訴你
Now do U believe in rock & roll?
如今你是否相信搖滾音樂
Can music save Ur mortal soul?
音樂是否能拯救你脆弱的靈魂
And can U teach me.
你又可否告訴我
How 2 dance real slowly?

Well, I know that U're in love with him.
我可知你和她已墜入愛河
'Cause I saw U dancing in the gym.

U both kicked off Ur shoes.

Man,I dig those rhythm & blues.
我才深知這節奏與布魯士
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck.
