“Leaving on a Jet Plane” is a song written by John Denver in 1966 and most famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. The original title of the song was “Oh Babe I Hate to Go” but Denver’s then producer Milt Okun convinced him to change the title. The song was initially recorded in 1967 by the Chad Mitchell Trio and then later that same year by Spanky and Our Gang. Peter, Paul and Mary’s version first appeared on their 1967 Album 1700; however, it did not become a hit until they released it as a single in 1969. It was first performed at The Cellar Door in Washington, D.C. in 1966 by the Chad Mitchell Trio, with John Denver substituting for Chad Mitchell. It turned out to be Peter, Paul & Mary’s biggest (and final) hit, becoming their only #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It was the penultimate (second to last) #1 single of the 1960s. The song also spent three weeks atop the easy listening chart. The song was used in commercials for United Airlines in the late 1970s.

Leaving on a jet plane All my bags are packed I’m ready to go I’m standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking It’s early morn The taxi’s waiting He’s blowing his horn Already I’m so lonesome I could cry *So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you’ll wait for me Hold me like you’ll never let me go I’m leaving on a jet plane I don’t know when I’ll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go There’s so many times I’ve let you down So many times I’ve played around I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing Every place I go, I’ll think of you Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you When I come back, I’ll wear your wedding ring(*) Now the time has come to leave you One more time, let me kiss you Then close your eyes I’ll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won’t have to leave alone About the times, I won’t have to say |
乘噴射機離去 所有行李都已收拾好了 我準備離去 我就站在你的門外 但我不想為了道別而叫醒你
但天已破曉 已是清晨時分 計程車在等著 司機按了喇叭 我是如此的孤單，孤單得想哭 吻我吧！為我笑一個 告訴我你會等我 擁抱我，像你永遠不讓我走 我即將乘噴射客機離去 不曉得什麼時候才能回來 噢！寶貝，我真的不想走 好幾次，我都讓你失望 很多次，我都把事情弄砸了 告訴你，那都是無心的 不論我去什麼地方，我都會想你 我唱的每一首歌，都是為你而唱 當我回來，我會為你戴上結婚戒指 離開妳的時候到了 再一次，讓我吻妳 然後，閉上妳的雙眼 我就要上路了 夢見那些日子已來到 我再也不必一個人孤獨的離去 關於那個時候，我不必多說 |
