人間の心の中には生まれつきある音楽が流れていてそれに似た曲を人は好きになるんだとか。「自分の曲」は何だろうといつも考えながら歌詞を和訳しています。
I have heard that every one of us has a special music running deep inside our soul and whatever music we love in our lives has something in common with it. I always translate English lyrics into Japanese, wondering what my music sounds like.
捕食者は狩りをする際には群れの中の最も弱い個体を選びます。この場合，捕食者は悪魔のようななんらかの邪悪な存在でしょう。 Predators choose the weakest indivisual in the herd when hunting their preys. In this case, the predator is some kind of evil spirit like the devil. Black Lilies (Parov Stelar)
She was strange but never loud Kept her eyes down in a crowd Spoke in pauses, thin and slow Like she heard what we don't know On a night of early fall When the frost climbed up the wall She said someone called her name No one There, but still he came
They said, it's just your loneliness An echo in your head But she swore she felt his fingers Trace the places fear had fled...
She was strange but never loud Kept her eyes down in a crowd Spoke in pauses, thin and slow Like she heard what we don't know On a night of early fall When the frost climbed up the wall She said someone called her name No one there, but still he came
They said They said They said
She said a ghost lay by her side Cool as silver rain Whispered Secrets in the dark That burned without a flame They laughed and shut the story down

沈黙は効きます。話をしていて手に負えなくなることもありますが，話が熱くなり過ぎてイヤな感じになってきたときは話を止めましょう。反論したり説明したりはしません。そうすると普通は相手にちゃんと伝わります。 Silence works. Sometimes conversation can get out of control. When the heated conversation makes you feel uncomfortable, you should stop talking. No talk back or explaining. Then they usually get a message. Silent Treatment (Freya Skye)
[Verse 1] You played it cool, and I played it dumb Don't you think I'm a little too young To be messed with like that? So convincing, you made it look fun Laugh it off, but the damage is done Saying, "Baby, just relax" (Relax, hm)
[Pre-Chorus] I got my hopes too high You hardly said goodbye Then casually walked out of my life
[Chorus] Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore Gave me the silent treatment The least you could've done was give me a reason And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore The way I hate you for leaving Too much free time staring up at the ceiling
[Verse 2] It's been a month since you went and checked in I wanna ask, "Where the hell have you been?" 'Cause I've been right where you left me (Right where you left me) Poured my self-control down the sink Almost die every time the phone rings Why won't somebody help me?
[Pre-Chorus] I got my hopes too high Read in between the lines Am I supposed to read your mind?
[Chorus] Oh, we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore Gave me the silent treatment The least you could've done was give me a reason And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore The way I hate you for leaving Too much free time staring up at the ceiling
[Bridge] You're a narcissist, I'm an optimist Name a deadlier combo Something's wrong with us, ain't it obvious? Build me up and then, oh no Call me "just a friend," here we go again (Oh no) Tell them all that you hate me Hate me, it's like you erased me
[Chorus] 'Cause we don't talk anymore, talk anymore, talk anymore Gave me the silent treatment Did you go find someone, or am I the reason? And I can't ignore, I can't ignore, I can't ignore The way I hate you for leaving Too much free time staring up at the ceiling
[Outro] Give me a reason for the treatment I've been feeling Give me a reason for you leaving, I've been screaming
生まれつきひとつところにじっとしていられないという人間が存在します。そういう人間が身を固めて静かで変わり映えのしない生活をすると息が詰まるように感じるのかもしれません。 Some people are born to be travellers. When they settle down and choose a quiet and simple life, they may find it a bit suffocating. Til the Goin' Gets Gone (Lindi Ortega)
[Verse 1] Oh the wheels, they keep on spinnin’, I ain’t gettin' anywhere It’s been drivin' me into the ground, gonna bury my bones there And I hope someday they find me, see that I was on my way When I lay down by the side of the road where I made my grave
[Chorus] Oh, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
[Verse 2] I’ve been chasin’, I’ve been runnin', gettin' lost and gettin' found I've been sinkin', I’ve been swimmin' and one time I nearly drowned All the rundown dirty motels, all the cities and small towns Leave 'em in rearview mirror while the wheels keep spinnin' 'round
[Chorus] 'Cause I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
[Verse 3] Well I guess I’m getting older and I prob'ly should slow down Take the exit off the freeway and head on homeward bound But I know it won't be long until the road beckons me back And you see me on The '66 in a vintage Cadillac
[Chorus] Oh, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
