Translation of Summer Of 69 by Greenday

From:

I got my first real six string
bought it at the five and dime
played it til my fingers bled
was the summer of '69
me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
jimmy quit and jody got married
shoulda known we never get far

oh when i look back now
that summer seemed to last forever
and if i had the choice
ya i'd always wanna be there
those were the best days of my life

ain't no use in complaining
when ya gotta job to do
spent my evenings down at the drive in
and that's when i met you
ya standing on your mama's porch
you told me that you'd wait forever
and when i held your hand
i knew that it was now or never
those were the best days of my life
back in the summer of '69

man we were killin' time
we were young and reckless
we needed to unwind
i guess nothing can last forever

and now the times are changin'
look at everything that's come and gone
sometimes when i play my old six string
i think about you wonder what went wrong

standing on your mama's crotch
you told me that it'd last forever
and when you held my hand
i knew that it was now or never
those were the best days of my life
back in the summer of '69
