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.
この曲の「嵐」とは人生における辛い時期のメタファーであり，主人公は相手に人生でどんなことがあっても希望や夢は捨てるなと言っています。 A "storm" in this song is a metaphor for hard times in our lives. The narrator is saying we shouldn't give up our hopes and dreams whatever the life throws at us. You'll Never Walk Alone (Gerry and The Pacemakers)
[Verse 1] When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of the lark
[Pre-Chorus] Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain For your dreams be tossed and blown
[Chorus] Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
[Verse 2] When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of the lark
[Pre-Chorus] Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain For your dreams be tossed and blown
[Chorus] Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk You'll never walk You'll never walk alone
以前不眠症気味で就寝時になかなか寝付かれなくなったことがあります。2時間前にパソコンやスマホの電源を落とし，寝つきが良くなるというハーブ・ティーを試しました。読書，エクササイズ，音楽，ありとあらゆるものを試しましたがダメでした。 Years ago, I was a bit insomniac and had a difficulty in falling asleep during the night time. I turned off my PC and phone two hours before the bed time. I tried some herb teas which claimed to help sleep. Books, exercise, music. You name it, I tried. None of them worked. One Night (Griff)
[Verse 1] How long can I leave the lights in the ceiling on? And the static from the TV keeps me company till I'm gone
[Bridge] 'Cause I rock back and forth Reciting words that I've said wrong I swear I've been doing fine When I'm busy and got things going on Oh, so girl, what you running from?
[Chorus] Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours The midnight hours, you know And maybe there's something in the dead of night When I'm sleeping alone Where I always see your face God, I wish I didn't though Can I have one night, one night, one night Where it's just me alone?
[Verse 2] Is it 'cause I've been feeling guilty all along? Or is it the gods just tryna tell me to move on? 'Cause while you're haunting me, that's what you've done So girl, what you running from? (Oh)
[Chorus] Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours The midnight hours, you know (Something in the—) Or maybe there's something in the dead of night When I'm sleeping alone Where I always see your face (I always see your face) God, I wish I didn't though (I wish I didn't though) Can I have one night, one night, one night Where it's just me alone?
[Post-Chorus] So I, I know what it feels like So I can wake up in the daylight And my chest ain't heavy 'Cause you're not there with me Tell me when that will be?
[Bridge] Oh, 'cause I rock back and forth Reciting words that I've said wrong I swear I've been doing fine When I'm busy and got things going on So what am I running from?
[Chorus] Oh, maybe there's something in the midnight hours The midnight hours, you know Or maybe there's something in the dead of night When I'm sleeping alone Where I always see your face God, I wish I didn't though Can I have one night, one night, one night Where it's just me alone? (Oh)
[Outro] One night, one night, yeah So can I have one night, one night, just one night One night, one night, one night Can I have one night, one night, just one night Where it's just me alone?

The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
ボンド映画に参加するというのはアーティストにとって間違いなくある種の特権ですが，Billie Eilishはシリーズの歴史上最年少でその特権を手にしました。 I think being a part of a Bond films is definitely a privilege for artists. Billie Eilish is the youngest who enjoyed it in the history of the franchise. No Time To Die (Billie Eilish)
[Verse 1] I should have known I'd leave alone Just goes to show That the blood you bleed is just the blood you owe We were a pair But I saw you there Too much to bear You were my life, but life is far away from fair Was I stupid to love you? Was I reckless to help? Was it obvious to everybody else?
[Chorus] That I'd fallen for a lie You were never on my side Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry There's just no time to die
[Verse 2] I let it burn You're no longer my concern, mmm Faces from my past return Another lesson yet to learn
[Chorus] That I'd fallen for a lie You were never on my side Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry There's just no time to die
[Refrain] No time to die, mmm No time to die, ooh
[Outro] Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry There's just no time to die

When I was a little bitty baby My mama done rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home
Let me tell you now well, I got me in a fix I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits I had to walk a long, long way to town
I came upon a nice old man well, he had a hat on Wait a minute, mister, can you give me some directions? I'm gonna want to be right off for home
When I was a little bitty baby My mama done rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home
Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten When I got you, baby, who needs cotton? In them old cotton fields back home
Brother, only one thing more that's gonna warm you A summer's day out in California It's gonna be those cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana Give me them cotton fields (It was back in Louisiana) Let me hear it for the cotton fields (Just about a mile from Texarkana) You know that there's just no place like home
Oh, boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown In them old cotton fields back home
人間は自分だけの文脈で世の中を見ています。大きな出来事があると，実際にはそうでなくても，周囲はそれがその人の人生全体に影響を与えていると考え，その人が何かを言ったりしたりするたびに，その事のせいだと勝手に考えます。 We see the world in our own context. When something significant happens to your life, people think it would definitely affect all of your life even if it it doesn't at all. So whatever you do or say, they assume the incident makes you that way. I'm not a Woman, I'm a god (Halsey)

人間関係と株式投資が全く同じ法則に則っているとは思いませんが，こと投資について言えば，たったひとつの株に有り金をすべて突っ込まないというのが鉄則です。 I know human relationships and stock investments don't work exactly the same way. When it comes to investment, however, an old rule of thumb is not to invest all your money on a single stock. All The Man That I Need (Whitney Houston)
[Verse 1] I used to cry myself to sleep at night But that was all before he came I thought love had to hurt to turn out right But now he's here It's not the same, it's not the same
[Chorus] He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need
[Verse 2] And in the morning when I kiss his eyes He takes me down and rocks me slow And in the evening When the moon is high He holds me close and won't let go He won't let go
[Chorus] He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need
