Текст песни Don Mclean - American Pie с транскрипцией A long long time ago
[ə ˈlɒŋ ˈlɒŋ ˈtaɪm əˈɡəʊ]
I can still remember
[ˈaɪ kən stɪl rɪˈmembə]
How that music used to make me smile
[ˈhaʊ ðət ˈmju:zɪk ˈju:st tə ˈmeɪk mi: smaɪl]
And I knew if I had my chance
[ənd ˈaɪ nju: ɪf ˈaɪ həd maɪ tʃɑ:ns]
That I could make those people dance
[ðət ˈaɪ kəd ˈmeɪk ðəʊz ˈpi:pl̩ dɑ:ns]
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[ənd ˈmeɪbi: ˈðeɪd bi ˈhæpi fər ə waɪl]
But February made me shiver
[bət ˈfebjʊəri ˈmeɪd mi: ˈʃɪvə]
With every paper I'd deliver
[wɪð ˈevri ˈpeɪpə aɪd dɪˈlɪvə]
Bad news on the doorstep
[ˌbæd ˈnju:z ɒn ðə ˈdɔ:step]
I couldn't take one more step
[ˈaɪ ˈkʊdnt teɪk wʌn mɔ: step]
I can't remember if I cried
[ˈaɪ kɑ:nt rɪˈmembər ɪf ˈaɪ kraɪd]
When I read about his widowed bride
[wen ˈaɪ rəd əˈbaʊt ɪz ˈwɪdəʊd braɪd]
But something touched me deep inside
[bət ˈsʌmθɪŋ tʌtʃt mi: di:p ɪnˈsaɪd]
The day the music died
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmju:zɪk daɪd]
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
[ˈsəʊ baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
Did you write the book of love
[dɪd ju ˈraɪt ðə bʊk əv lʌv]
And do you have faith in God above
[ənd du ju həv feɪθ ɪn ɡɒd əˈbʌv]
If the Bible tells you so?
[ɪf ðə ˈbaɪbl̩ telz ju ˈsəʊ]
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
[naʊ du ju bɪˈli:v ɪn rɒk ənd rəʊl]
Can music save your mortal soul?
[kən ˈmju:zɪk seɪv jə ˈmɔ:tl̩ səʊl]
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
[ənd kən ju ti:tʃ mi: ˈhaʊ tə dɑ:ns rɪəl sləʊ]
Well, I know that you're in love with him
[wel, ˈaɪ nəʊ ðət jər ɪn lʌv wɪð ɪm]
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
[kɔ:z ˈaɪ ˈsɔ: ju ˈdɑ:nsɪŋ ɪn ðə dʒɪm]
You both kicked off your shoes
[ju bəʊθ kɪkt ɒf jə ʃu:z]
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
[mæn, ˈaɪ dɪɡ ðəʊz ˈrɪðəm ənd blu:z]
I was a lonely teenage broncing buck
[ˈaɪ wəz ə ˈləʊnli ˈti:neɪdʒ brəʊnsɪŋ bʌk]
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[wɪð ə pɪŋk kɑ:ˈneɪʃn̩ ənd ə ˈpɪkʌp trʌk]
But I knew I was out of luck
[bət ˈaɪ nju: ˈaɪ wəz aʊt əv lʌk]
The day the music died
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmju:zɪk daɪd]
I started singing
[ˈaɪ ˈstɑ:tɪd ˈsɪŋɪŋ]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
[baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
[naʊ, fə ten ˈjiəz wiv bi:n ɒn ˈaʊər əʊn]
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
[ənd mɒs ɡrəʊz fæt ɒn ə ˈrəʊlɪŋ stəʊn]
But that's not how it used to be
[bət ðæts nɒt ˈhaʊ ɪt ˈju:st tə bi]
When the Jester sang for the king and queen
[wen ðə ˈdʒestə sæŋ fə ðə kɪŋ ənd kwi:n]
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[ɪn ə ˈkəʊt hi ˈbɒrəʊd frəm dʒeɪmz di:n]
And a voice that came from you and me
[ənd ə vɔɪs ðət keɪm frəm ju ənd mi:]
Oh and while the king was looking down
[əʊ ənd waɪl ðə kɪŋ wəz ˈlʊkɪŋ daʊn]
The Jester stole his thorny crown
[ðə ˈdʒestə stəʊl ɪz ˈθɔ:ni kraʊn]
The courtroom was adjourned
[ðə ˈkɔ:tru:m wəz əˈdʒɜ:nd]
No verdict was returned
[nəʊ ˈvɜ:dɪkt wəz rɪˈtɜ:nd]
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
[ənd waɪl lenin rəd ə bʊk ɒn marx]
The quartet practiced in the park
[ðə kwɔ:ˈtet ˈpræktɪst ɪn ðə pɑ:k]
And we sang dirges in the dark
[ənd wi sæŋ ˈdɜ:dʒɪz ɪn ðə dɑ:k]
The day the music died
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmju:zɪk daɪd]
We were singing
[wi wə ˈsɪŋɪŋ]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
[baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
[ˈheltə ˈskeltər ɪn ə ˈsʌmə ˈsweltə]
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
[ðə bɜ:dz flu: ɒf wɪð ə ˈfɔ:laʊt ˈʃeltə]
Eight miles high and falling fast
[eɪt maɪlz haɪ ənd ˈfɔ:lɪŋ fɑ:st]
Landed foul on the grass
[ˈlændɪd faʊl ɒn ðə ɡrɑ:s]
The players tried for a forward pass
[ðə ˈpleɪəz traɪd fər ə ˈfɔ:wəd pɑ:s]
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
[wɪð ðə ˈdʒestər ɒn ðə ˈsaɪdlaɪnz ɪn ə kɑ:st]
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[naʊ ðə hɑ:f ˈtaɪm eə wəz swi:t pəˈfju:m]
While sergeants played a marching tune
[waɪl ˈsɑ:dʒənts pleɪd ə ˈmɑ:tʃɪŋ tju:n]
We all got up to dance
[wi ɔ:l ˈɡɒt ʌp tə dɑ:ns]
Oh, but we never got the chance
[əʊ, bət wi ˈnevə ˈɡɒt ðə tʃɑ:ns]
'Cause the players tried to take the field
[kɔ:z ðə ˈpleɪəz traɪd tə teɪk ðə fi:ld]
The marching band refused to yield
[ðə ˈmɑ:tʃɪŋ bænd rɪˈfju:zd tə ji:ld]
Do you recall what was revealed
[du ju rɪˈkɔ:l ˈwɒt wəz rɪˈvi:ld]
The day the music died?
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmju:zɪk daɪd]
We started singing
[wi ˈstɑ:tɪd ˈsɪŋɪŋ]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
[baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
Oh, and there we were all in one place
[əʊ, ənd ðə wi wə ɔ:l ɪn wʌn ˈpleɪs]
A generation lost in space
[ə ˌdʒenəˈreɪʃn̩ lɒst ɪn speɪs]
With no time left to start again
[wɪð nəʊ ˈtaɪm left tə stɑ:t əˈɡen]
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
[ˈsəʊ kʌm ɒn dʒæk bi ˈnɪmbl̩, dʒæk bi kwɪk]
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[dʒæk flæʃ sæt ɒn ə ˈkændlstɪk]
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
[kɔ:z ˈfaɪə ɪz ðə ˈdevəlz ˈəʊnli ˈfrend]
And as I watched him on the stage
[ənd əz ˈaɪ wɒtʃt ɪm ɒn ðə steɪdʒ]
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[maɪ hændz wə klentʃt ɪn fɪsts əv reɪdʒ]
No angel born in hell
[nəʊ ˈeɪndʒəl bɔ:n ɪn hel]
Could break that Satan's spell
[kʊd breɪk ðət ˈseɪtn̩z spel]
And as the flames climbed high into the night
[ənd əz ðə fleɪmz klaɪmd haɪ ˈɪntə ðə naɪt]
To light the sacrificial rite
[tə laɪt ðə ˌsækrɪˈfɪʃl̩ raɪt]
I saw Satan laughing with delight
[ˈaɪ ˈsɔ: ˈseɪtn̩ ˈlɑ:fɪŋ wɪð dɪˈlaɪt]
The day the music died
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmjuːzɪk daɪd]
He was singing
[hi wəz ˈsɪŋɪŋ]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
[baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
I met a girl who sang the blues
[ˈaɪ met ə ɡɜ:l hu: sæŋ ðə blu:z]
And I asked her for some happy news
[ənd ˈaɪ ˈɑ:skt hə fə səm ˈhæpi nju:z]
But she just smiled and turned away
[bət ʃi dʒəst smaɪld ənd tɜ:nd əˈweɪ]
I went down to the sacred store
[ˈaɪ ˈwent daʊn tə ðə ˈseɪkrɪd stɔ:]
Where I'd heard the music years before
[weər aɪd hɜ:d ðə ˈmju:zɪk ˈjiəz bɪˈfɔ:]
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[bət ðə mæn ðə ˈsed ðə ˈmju:zɪk ˈwʊdnt pleɪ]
And in the streets the children screamed
[ənd ɪn ðə stri:ts ðə ˈtʃɪldrən skri:md]
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
[ðə ˈlʌvəz kraɪd, ənd ðə ˈpəʊɪts dri:md]
But not a word was spoken
[bət nɒt ə ˈwɜ:d wəz ˈspəʊkən]
The church bells all were broken
[ðə tʃɜ:tʃ belz ɔ:l wə ˈbrəʊkən]
And the three men I admire most
[ənd ðə θri: men ˈaɪ ədˈmaɪə məʊst]
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
[ðə ˈfɑ:ðə, sʌn, ənd ˈhəʊli ɡəʊst]
They caught the last train for the coast
[ˈðeɪ ˈkɔ:t ðə lɑ:st treɪn fə ðə kəʊst]
The day the music died
[ðə deɪ ðə ˈmju:zɪk daɪd]
And they were singing
[ənd ˈðeɪ wə ˈsɪŋɪŋ]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
[baɪ, baɪ mɪs əˈmerɪkən paɪ]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[drəʊv maɪ ˈtʃevi tə ðə ˈlevi bət ðə ˈlevi wəz draɪ]
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[ənd ðəm ɡʊd əʊld ˈbɔɪz wə ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ˈwɪski ənd raɪ]
Singing this'll be the day that I die
[ˈsɪŋɪŋ ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
This'll be the day that I die
[ˈðɪsəl bi ðə deɪ ðət ˈaɪ daɪ]
