A long, long time ago A long, long time ago Há muito, muito tempo I can still remember I can still remember Eu ainda consigo me lembrar How that music used to make me smile How that music used to make me smile Como aquela música me fazia sorrir And I knew if I had my chance And I knew if I had my chance E sabia que se eu tivesse minha chance That I could make those people dance That I could make those people dance Eu poderia fazer aquelas pessoas dançarem And maybe they'd be happy for a while And maybe they'd be happy for a while E, talvez, eles fossem felizes por um momento Did you write the book of love Did you write the book of love Você escreveu o livro do amor, And do you have faith in God above And do you have faith in God above E você tem fé em Deus, If the Bible tells you so? If the Bible tells you so? Se a Bíblia te dizer que é assim ? Now do you believe in rock and roll? Now do you believe in rock and roll? Agora, você acredita em Rock`N Roll, Can music save your mortal soul? Can music save your mortal soul? E a música consegue salvar sua alma mortal ? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? E você consegue me ensinar como dançar bem devagar? Well, I know that you're in love with him Well, I know that you're in love with him Bem, eu sei que você está apaixonado por ele 'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym 'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym Pois eu vi vocês dançando no ginásio You both kicked off your shoes You both kicked off your shoes Vocês dois tiraram os sapatos Man, I dig those rhythm and blues Man, I dig those rhythm and blues Cara, eu entendi o rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck Eu era um adolescente solitário e desajeitado With a pink carnation and a pickup truck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck Com um cravo rosa e uma caminhonete, But I knew I was out of luck But I knew I was out of luck Mas eu sabia que eu estava sem sorte The day the music died The day the music died No dia em que a música morreu I started singin' I started singin' Eu comecei a cantar... [Chorus] [Chorus] Então, Bye Bye, Miss American Pie Bye, bye Miss American Pie Bye, bye Miss American Pie Dirigi meu chevy até a barragem Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Mas a barragem estava seca Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye Eles, bons garotos estavam bebendo uísque e cerveja Singin' this'll be the day that I die Singin' this'll be the day that I die Cantando "Este vai ser o dia em que morrerei" This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die "Este será o dia em que morrerei" I meet a girl who sang the blues I meet a girl who sang the blues Eu conheci uma garota que cantava blues And I asked her for some happy news And I asked her for some happy news E eu a perguntei por boas notícias But she just smiled and turned away But she just smiled and turned away Mas ela só deu um sorriso e foi embora Then I went down to the sacred store Then I went down to the sacred store Bem, eu desci até aquela consagrada loja Where I'd heard the music years before Where I'd heard the music years before Onde eu tinha escutado a música anos atrás But the man there said the music wouldn't play But the man there said the music wouldn't play Mas o homem lá disse que a música não tocaria mais Well now in the streets the children screamed Well now in the streets the children screamed Bem, agora nas ruas The lovers cried and the poets dreamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed As crianças gritavam But not a word was spoken But not a word was spoken Os amantes choravam e os poetas sonhavam The church bells all were broken The church bells all were broken Mas nenhuma palavra foi dita And the three men I admire most And the three men I admire most Os sinos da igreja estavam todos quebrados the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost E os três homens que eu mais admirava They caught the last train for the coast They caught the last train for the coast O Pai, o Filho e o Espírito Santo The day the music died The day the music died Pegaram o último trem para o litoral We started singing We started singing No dia em que a música morreu [Chorus (2x)] [Chorus (2x)] Nós começamos a cantar We started singing We started singing Bye Bye, Miss American Pie We started singing We started singing Dirigi meu chevy até a barragem
