    Lyrics:
    Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
    Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
    He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
    It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard
    Say goodbye to Hollywood
    Say goodbye to my baby
    Say goodbye to Hollywood
    Say goodbye to my baby
    Johnny's takin' care of things for a while
    And his style is so right for troubadours
    They got him sitting with his back to the door
    Now he won't be my fast gun anymore
    Say goodbye to Hollywood
    Say goodbye my baby
    Say goodbye to Hollywood
    Say goodbye my baby

    THIS TRACK CALLED “SAY GOODBYE TO HOLLYWOOD” ORIGINALLY CAME FROM TURNSTILES, AN ALBUM THAT WASN’t BIG FOR BILLY. HOLLYWOOD HIT THE TOP 40 5 YEARS LATER.

    “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” (1976) is a look at the temporary nature of most relationships, as people are coming in and out of our lives. The story is told through the eyes of two characters, Bobby (in the first verse) and Johnny (in the second verse). They do their time in Hollywood, but now find themselves moving on, a natural progression in the series of hellos and goodbyes in life.
    Musically, Billy Joel composed this in the style of The Ronettes. He was a big fan of ‘60s girl groups and loved Ronettes’ lead singer Ronnie Spector’s voice. In “Say Goodbye to Hollywood,” he pays homage to her vibrato, emulating it when he utters the word “boulevard.”
    Joel explained that he wrote “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” in a high key that was challenging to reach.
    The tune was crafted at a time when Joel had recently moved from LA to New York. Like so many Long Islanders, he disliked the West Coast.
    Ronnie Spector released her own version in 1977. She stated : “In a way, it’s my life story, ‘cause I was married in Hollywood, I lived in Hollywood, my life fell apart in Hollywood, and now I am saying goodbye to Hollywood.” Spector’s cover was produced by Little Steven Van Zandt, whom she met while working as a backup vocalist for Bruce Springsteen in 1976. For “Say Goodbye,” Springsteen’s E Street Band reciprocally played backup for her. 💙🎶💜

    意訳で鑑賞する洋楽
    Billy Joel - Say Goodbye to Hollywood
    大事な意訳部分
    Moving on is a chance that you take every time you try to stay Together
    ネットじゅう探したけど
    ここがしっくり決まってない
    だから
    さよならハリウッド
    君にもさよなら
    なんて…なんだかなあな訳までありました
    マイベイビーは目に涙をためてるよ
    だからガッツリと意訳したんだ
    では参りましょう
    今宵もボビーは夜の街をドライブ
    ピカピカのイカした新車のレンタカーを駆って光の中を駆け抜けて行く
    獰猛なマシンの中で恋人と逢瀬さ
    サンセットブールバードじゃお馴染みの光景
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー
    ジョニーは束の間だけど何くれとなく良くしてくれた
    流離いの吟遊詩人にはぴったりだった
    だけど最近じゃ彼も風当たりがきついらしい
    だからこれ以上厄介はかけられないね
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー
    ねぐらを変えて移り住むのは何時だってチャンスなんだ
    絆を結び直すためのね
    言い方一つ間違えれば
    君が大事にしてた友人だって去っていくものさ
    ずっと…永遠にね
    ( 間奏 )
    ねぐらを変えて移り住むのは何時だってチャンスなんだ
    絆を結び直すためのね
    言い方一つ間違えれば
    君が大事にしてた友人だって去っていくものさ
    ずっと…永遠にね
    生きて来て出会った顔、去っていった顔
    何人かは続いて、何人かは折に触れて合う程度かな
    人生はこんにちはとさようならの連続さ
    残念だけど、また別れの時みたいだ
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー
    ハリウッドにさよならを言うんだ
    さよならを言いなよ マイベイビー

    I remember there being a (minor) controversy about this song when it was released in '76.

    Does anyone else recall this?
