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.
ある有名な作家が作品のなかで恋愛関係においては気持ちの強い方が必ず負けるといったような話をしていました。確かに相手のことが好きでなければ，相手を失うことも怖くないので，相手の気持ちにかかわらず自分の思い通りに行動できます。 A famous writer said in his work something like this: The one who loves the other more is destined to lose. If you don't love the person very much, you're not scared of losing them. So you can do what you want no matter what they feel about it. Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me (Mac Davis)
[Verse 1] Girl, you're getting that look in your eyes And it's starting to worry me I ain't ready for no family ties Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, girl Cause I don't wanna leave Don't start clinging to me, girl Cause I can't breathe
[Chorus] Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me, oooh Cause I'll just use you Then I'll set you free Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
[Verse 2] Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child And it's warm where you're touching me But I can tell by your trembling smile You're seein' way too much in me
Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine Cause I'll just leave you I can't take no clinging vine
[Chorus] Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Cause I'll just use you Then I'll set you free Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me Cause I'll just use you Then I'll set you free Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me. oh Baby, baby
思うにこの２年のコロナ騒動で最も深刻な影響を受けたのがEDMだったのではないでしょうか？このジャンルの音楽にとって「クラブに行く」ことが欠かすべからざる要素のひとつだからです。 I think probably it's EDM that was most severely hit by the COVID 19 pandemic for these two years. Being at clubs is an essential part of the music of that genre. Heartbreak (Bonobo & Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)
Heartbreak, break Home, take the heartbreak, I'm not Can't take the heartbreak Home, take the heartbreak, I'm not Can't take the heartbreak, hey Home, take the heartbreak, I'm not Can't take the heartbreak Home, take the heartbreak, I'm not Can't take the heartbreak, hey Hey Homе, take the heartbrеak
Pet Shop Boysのカヴァーの方がオリジナルだと思っていましたが，先日Elvis Presleyがそのずっと前にこの曲を発表していると知りました。 I believed a cover by Pet Shop Boys was the original before I learned Elvis Presley released it way earlier than them. Always On My Mind (Elvis Presley/Pet Shop Boys)
(Pet Shop Boys Cover)
[Verse 1] Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have
[Pre-Chorus] Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
[Chorus] You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind) You were always on my mind
[Verse 2] Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine
[Pre-Chorus] If I made you feel second best Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
[Chorus] You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind) You were always on my mind
[Bridge] Tell me Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
[Pre-Chorus] Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
[Chorus] You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind) You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
[Outro] Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have
この曲は最初1934年のブロードウェイ・ミュージカル「エニシング・ゴーズ（Anything Goes）」のためにCole Porterが書いたものです。原曲を歌っていたのはEtherl Mermanでこれはカヴァーです。 This song was written by Cole Porter originally for the 1934 Broadway musical "Anything Goes." The original was sung by Ethel Merman and this is a cover. I Get A Kick Out Of You (Tonny Bennett & Lady Gaga)
[Intro: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett] My story is much too sad to be told But practically everything Leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree Fighting vainly the old ennui And I suddenly turn and see Your fabulous face (Talking about me?)
[Verse 1: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett] I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true, mmm yeah I get a kick out of you (Me?)
[Verse 2: Tony Bennett] Some they may go for cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically too Yet I get a kick out of you
[Verse 3: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both] I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously don't adore me 飛行機に乗ったくらいじゃダメなんだ Flying too high with some gal in the sky is my idea of nothing to do Yet I get a kick out of you
[Verse 4: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both] I get a kick though it's clear to see You obviously do not adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal in the sky is my idea of nothing to do Yet I get a kick You give me a whirl I get a kick out of you Get my kicks out of you
[Intro: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett] ちょっと寂し過ぎるから，あんまり人には話さないけど アタシっていう人間は，少々のことがあったくらいじゃ 全然感動できないの* ただ例外がないわけじゃない 外に出てむっつりと いつものように相も変わらず，ぱっとしない気分抱えて，悶々としていても ふと振り向いて目の前に そのステキな顔が見えたら，その時だけは例外なんだ（アタシのことを言ってるの？）
[Verse 1: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett] シャンパンを飲んだくらいじゃ何も起きない 単にお酒を飲んだだけ，ちっともワクワクしてこない ねえだから聞かせてよ，これって本当のことなわけ？ アンタを見てるとワクワクするの（俺のこと？）
[Verse 2: Tony Bennett] （あのワクワクが欲しくって）薬に手を出すヤツもいるけど 俺にはちゃんとわかってる，コカイン一発キメたって めちゃめちゃ退屈するだけだ なのにお前と一緒にいるとちょっとワクワクするんだよ
[Verse 3: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both] 目の前にお前が立っているのを見ると，いつもワクワクするんだよ そこまで好かれていないってハッキリわかっているはずなのに，それでもワクワクしてくるの 飛行機に乗ったくらいじゃダメなんだ 空の上で他の女と一緒にハイになったって，他にすることないからで なのに２人で一緒にいるとちょっとワクワクするんだよ
[Verse 4: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both] それでもワクワクしてくるの，ちゃんとハッキリわかってるのに そこまで好かれていないって 飛行機に乗ったくらいじゃダメなのに 空の上で他の女と一緒にハイになったって，他にすることないからで なのにワクワクするんだよ 一緒だとちょっとクラクラしてくるの ちょっとワクワクしてくるし すごく元気が出てくるの
アーティスト自身がこの曲は実在の人物のことを歌ったものだと認めています。相手はRod Stewartよりもずっと年上でしたが名前はMaggie Mayではなかったらしい。ふと思うのですが当時たまたま本名がMaggie Mayだった人はどうなったんでしょうか？ Rod Stewart admitted this song was written about a person who did exist. She's much older than himself but her name wasn't Maggie May. I'm just wondering what happened to those people whose real name happened to be Maggie May back then. Maggie May (Rod Stewart)
[Verse 1] Wake up, Maggie I think I got somethin' to say to you It's late September And I really should be back at school
[Chorus 1] I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
[Verse 2] The morning sun, when it's in your face Really shows your age But that don't worry me none In my eyes, you're everything
[Chorus 2] I laughed at all of your jokes My love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
[Verse 3] All I needed was a friend To lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover You wore me out
[Chorus 3] All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore You led me away from home 'Cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
[Verse 4] I suppose I could collect my books And get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue And make a living out of playing pool
[Chorus 4] Or find myself a rock and roll band That needs a helping hand Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
[Outro] Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days Ooh, ooh, ooh
James Blake本人がこの曲について述べていることと，下のミュージック・ヴィデオで描かれていることを額面通りに受け取れば，これはダンスについての曲ということになります。 If I take what James Blake said about this song and what's happening in the music video below as it is, it's literally about dancing. Before (James Blake)
[Verse 1] I don't have to read into this I don't have to lean into the kiss You move me naturally (Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce) You move me naturally You move me naturally (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor)
[Chorus] I must be in pain, 'cause I (Pain, 'cause I) I must be in pain 'cause I've never needed anyone before Well nothing's in vain, 'cause I Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I've never had it as good before Before, before, ooh (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor) (Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
[Verse 2] I don't have to keep receipts any more And I don't have to stand by the door 'Cause you're my family You move me naturally (I don't) (Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
[Chorus] I must be in pain, 'cause I (Must be in pain, 'cause I) I must be in pain 'cause I've never needed anyone before Well nothing's in vain, 'cause I Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I've never had it as good before Before, before, before
[Outro] (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor) Before, before, before, before (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor)
人やものを好きになった時，頭の中では何が起こっているのでしょうか？好きという感情によって，オキシトシンやエンドルフィンといったいわゆる「幸福ホルモン」が分泌され，それによって苦痛が軽くなったり幸せな気分になったりします。 When you love someone or something, what do you think is happening in your brain? The emotion triggers the secretion of so called "happy hormones" such as oxytocin and endorphin in your brain. They make relieve your pain and you feel happier. Best of My Love (The Emotions)
[Verse 1] Doesn't take much to make me happy And make me smile with glee Never never will I feel discouraged 'Cause our love's no mystery Demonstrating love and affection That you give so openly, yeah I like the way you make me feel about you, baby Want the whole wide world to see

学生だった頃「自由」という言葉をまるで呪文のように唱えながら日々暮らしていました。まるでそれは真っ暗な夜空に輝きながらほんのわずか手の届かない星であるように思えました。 Back in school days, I was holding on to a word "freedom" like a mantra. It's like a star shining through the darkest sky but frustratingly staying out of my reach. Freedom (Jon Batiste)
[Chorus] When I move my body just like this I don't know why But I feel like freedom (Freedom) I hear a song that takes me back And I let go with so much freedom (Freedom) Free to live (How I wanna live) I'm gon' get (What I'm gonna get) 'Cause it's my freedom (Freedom)
[Verse 1] I love how you talk You speaking my language The way that you walk You can't contain it Is it the shoes Jumped up, kangaroo We're overdue for a little more prancing
[Pre-Chorus] Now it's your time (It's your right) You can shine (It's alright) If you do I'ma do too
[Chorus] When I move my body just like this I don't know why But I feel like freedom (Freedom) I hear a song that takes me back And I let go With so much freedom (Freedom) Free to live (How I wanna live) I'm gon' get (What I'm gonna get) 'Cause it's my freedom (Freedom)
[Verse 2] The reason we get down, is to get back up If someone's around, go on let them look You can't stand still This ain't no drill More than cheap thrills (Feels like money, money, money)
[Pre-Chorus] Now it's your time (It's your right) You can shine (It's alright) If you do I'ma do too
[Bridge] 'Cause when I look up to the stars (Stars) I know exactly who we are (Ooh) 'Cause then I see you shine You shinin' You shinin' oh!
Free to be! (Everybody come on) (Freedom!) (Everybody come ‘round) (Everybody come on) Come on now (Everybody)
I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Let me see you wobble) I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Let me see you shake) Give you just what you ask for Givin' you the whole shake I'ma give you the whole shake (Let me see you wobble) I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Can you make it break?)
[Pre-Chorus] I say yeah (Yeah) Oh yeah (Oh yeah) (Let me see you wobble) 'Cause, you do I'ma do too
[Bridge] Come on now (Everybody)
I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Let me see you wobble) I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Let me see you shake) Give you just what you ask for Givin' you the whole shake I'ma give you the whole shake (Let me see you wobble) I'm stuck to the dance floor With the, with the whole tape With the, with the, with the whole tape (Can you make it break?)

この曲は一般にはMonicaの実体験を元に作られていると思われていますが，彼女自身はあるインタヴューで「この曲（The First Night）は私の経験ではなく，付き合いの長いプロデューサーのJermaine Dupriが作ったもの。大まかに言うとある最初のデートで相手の女性にアプローチする男性の曲」と語りそのことを否定しています。 People think this song is written on Monica's personal experience. She denied it in an interview explaining "The First Night' is not an experience of mine, but it's a record that
Jermaine Dupri produced, and of whom I've known a long time...It is
basically about a guy making an approach towards a woman on the first
date.". The First Night (Monica)
[Intro: Jermaine Dupri] Come on Baby, baby, tell me what's up? Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up? Huh? Huh? Baby, baby, tell me what's up? Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up? Huh? What? Baby, baby, tell me what's up? Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up? Huh? Huh? Baby, baby, tell me what's up? Can you hear me or do I, do I need to turn it up? Huh? Huh? What?
[Verse 1: Monica] Boy, this evening, was it only me? Feeling completely down to be open Down to be open for some satisfaction Didn't wanna say yes, afraid of your reaction I knew it was wrong for feelin' this way Especially the thought of gettin' in on the first date Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind At the end of the night, I had to decide I was thinkin'
[Chorus: Monica] I should make a move but I won't (I should, I should) I know you're probably thinking something is wrong Knowin' if I do that it won't be right I don't get down on the first night I should make a move, but I won't I know you're probably thinking something is wrong Knowin' if I do that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night
[Verse 2: Monica] We were chillin', watching your TV I thought you was coming close as you got to me Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you And somehow, in one night, discover I love you Felt so right, but it felt so wrong And look how we are carryin' on Tryin' to say things to get me to stay But my watch tells me it's gettin' too late I'm thinkin'
[Chorus: Monica] I should make a move, but I won't (I should, I should) I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (No way) Knowin' if I do that it won't be right I don't get down on the first night (I don't, I don't get down, baby) I should make a move, but I won't I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (You're probably thinkin' something is wrong) Knowin' if I do that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night
[Post-Chorus: Monica] (If) If you want me You got to know me (You got to know me) And if you want my love (My love) You gotta win my love
[Bridge: Monica] Hey, baby That's the way it's got to be, yeah Get to know me (Get to know me) So we can do this
[Chorus: Monica] I should make a move I know you're probably thinkin' (I won't, I won't, babe) Knowin' if I do (I won't, I won't, baby, yeah, yeah) I don't get down on the first night I should make a move, but I won't (No, no, no) I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (No, no, no) Knowing if I do that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night I should make a move, but I won't (I should make a move) I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (Probably thinkin' something's wrong) Knowing if I do that it won't be right (No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't get down on the first night (The first night) I should make a move, but I won't (I should, baby) I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (I should baby, yeah, yeah) Knowing if I do that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night (No, no, no, no, no)
[Outro] I should make a move, but I won't (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah) I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong (You're probably thinkin' something is wrong) Knowing if I do that it won't be right (No, no, no, no) I don't get down on the first night I should make a move, but I won't I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong Knowing if I do that it won't be right I wanna get down, but not the first night
困難に直面した場合とにかく「諦めない」ことが一番いい対処方法であることもあります。無論なにかを変えて問題を解決する方が良い場合も少なくありませんが，それができない場合もあります。自分では全く力の及ばないことが世の中には山ほどあります。 Sometimes the best way to cope with difficult things is just 'to hold on'. Yes, in many cases it's much better to change or solve the problem but that's not always an option. In the world there are tons of things you have no control over at all. Hold On Me (Adele)
[Intro] Hold on You are still strong Love will soon come Just hold, hold on
[Verse 1] Oh, what have I done yet again? Have I not learned anything? I don't want to live in chaos It's like a ride that I want to get off It's hard to hold on to who I am When I'm stumblin' in the dark for a hand I am so tired of battling with myself, with no chance to win
[Chorus] (Hold on) Let time be patient (You are still strong) Let pain be gracious (Love will soon come) Just hold, hold on
[Verse 2] I swear to God, I am such a mess The harder that I try, I regress I'm my own worst enemy Right now, I truly hate bein' me Every day feels like the road I'm on Might just open up and swallow me whole How do I feel so mighty small When I'm struggling to feel at all?
[Chorus] Just hold on (Hold on) Let time be patient You are still strong (You are still strong) Let pain be gracious (Love will soon come) Just hold on (You, just hold on, you, just hold on) Hold on (You, just hold on, just hold on)
[Bridge] Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get (Just hold on, just hold on) And the emptiness actually lets us forget (Just hold on, just hold on) Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret (Just hold on, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)
[Chorus] So just hold on, ooh Let time be patient and (You are still strong) Let pain be gracious Love will soon come, baby If you just hold on
[Outro] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on (Hold on) Just let time be patient 'Cause you're still strong, you're still strong (You are still strong) Just be gracious Love will soon come If you just hold on (You, just hold on, you, just hold on, you, just hold on) Just be patient, just be patient (You, just hold on, you, just just hold on) (You, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)
（補足） * mighty small ・・・ small but mighty（実力はあるが目立たない） ** in secret ・・・ こっそりと，秘密で，内緒で
（余談）
歌詞の中で印象に残ったのが「許そうと思ったら誰にも言わずにそうすることが一番楽なこともある（Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret）」の下りでした。「Sometimes forgiveness is THE EASIEST in secret」ではなく「Sometimes forgiveness is EASIEST in secret」となっているからです。
おそらくタイトルと歌詞に登場する「島育ちのあの娘（Island girl）」は，ジャマイカのようなカリブ海に浮かぶ島々から来た女性のことでしょう。「石炭みたいに真っ黒で（black as coal）」という下りがあるからです。 The 'Island girl' probably refers to ones from Caribbean Islands like Jamaica . The narrator says "she's black as coal." Island Girl (Elton John)
[Verse 1] I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey, so sweet Down where Lexington cross 47th street Oh, she's a big girl, she's standin' six-foot-three Turnin' tricks for the dudes in the big city
[Chorus] Island girl What you wantin' with your white man's world? Island girl Black boy want you in his island world He want to take you from your racket boss He want to save you, but the cause is lost Island girl, island girl, island girl Tell me what you wantin' with your white man's world
[Verse 2] Well, she's black as coal, but she burn like a fire And she wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake Oh, he one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake
[Chorus] Island girl What you wantin' with your white man's world? Island girl Black boy want you in his island world He want to take you from your racket boss He want to save you, but the cause is lost Island girl, island girl, island girl Tell me what you wantin' with your white man's world
[Chorus] Island girl What you wantin' with your white man's world? Island girl Black boy want you in his island world He want to take you from your racket boss He want to save you, but the cause is lost Island girl, island girl, island girl Tell me what you wantin' with your white man Tell me what you wantin' with your white man Tell me what you wantin' with your white man
「noise（雑音）」とは「予想外のあるいは求めていない大きく不快な音」であり，人々が聞いたり耳を傾けたりしたいものではありません。したがってここでいう「a beautiful noise（素晴らしい雑音）」とは，主人公にとっては重要で意味のあることでありながら，多数派や体制側が無視したいと思っていることになります。 Noise is "sound or a sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired". It's not what people want to hear or listen to. So "a beautiful noise" here is something that is important and meaningful to the narrator but the majority and the establishments want to ignore. A Beautiful Noise (Alicia Keys & Brandi Carlile)
[Verse 1: Alicia Keys] I have a voice Started out a whisper, turned into a scream Made a beautiful noise Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze But when you band together, it's a choir Of thunder and rain Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice
[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile] I'm not living to die Don't stand in a wasteland Look at me in the eye Stop living a lie And stand up next to me You've got to put one foot in front of another With a hand in a hand holding on to each other Go on and rejoicе 'Cause you have a voice
[Chorus: Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile] It is loud, it is clеar It's stronger than your fear It's believing you belong It's calling out the wrong From the silence of my sisters To the violence of my brother We can, we can rage Against the river Feel the pain of another I have a voice
[Verse 3: Alicia Keys] I have a voice And I let it speak for the ones who aren't yet running free It's killing me No one's saying what we need to hear I will not let silence win When I see all the pain our people are in There's no other choice 'Cause I have a voice
[Chorus: Alicia Keys, Brandi Carlile, and both] It is loud, it is clear It's stronger than your fear It's believing you belong It's for calling out the wrong From the mouths of our mothers To the lips of our daughters We can, we can dream Like our brothers speaking loud like our fathers We can, we can heal Can you hear us? Can you hear us now?
[Verse 1: Alicia Keys] I have a voice Started out a whisper, turned into a scream Made a beautiful noise Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze But when you band together, it's a choir Of thunder and rain Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice
[Outro: Brandi Carlile] Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice
人間は何かを信じたがるものです。信じる対象は神かもしれませんし，金あるいは愛かもしれません。何故かって？人間は自分のした行動とその結果について責任を負いたくないからです。 We want to believe in something. It could be God, money or love. Why? We don't want to be responsible for every action we make and its consequences. Notion (The Rare Occasions)
Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion But I don’t need the comfort of any lies For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise
Back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters That my end will be torture beneath the earth ‘cuz I don’t see what they see when death is staring at me I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever Would your life even matter anymore? Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion But it’s not what you signed up for
I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine But there’s this momentary beam of light You don’t have to wait those salty decades To get through the gate it’s all in front of your face I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine But there’s this momentary beam of light
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion For every shining second this fragile body beckons You think you’re owed it better believing ancient letters Sure it’s a calming notion but it’s a lie
ものを読む時，人間は常に実際に見えているものを読んでいるわけではありません。「読むだろう」と思っているものを読んでいるからです。したがって旅行関係の記事を読んでいる場合，実際には「PAIRS」と書かれていても「Paris（パリ）」と読んでしまったりします。 When you read, you're not always reading what you see but what you "think" you're reading instead. So when you're reading an article about travel, you often read Paris even if it's actually written as PAIRS. Cut Me Loose (2021 edition) (Jethro Heston & Max Marshall)
[Verse 1] I'll call you in the morning, don't you wake up late No use in stalling 'til you hear from me I'm working on something and I can't mess it up Don't need permission, don't wait 'round for me
[Pre-Chorus] It's getting harder to make it up to you Can't leave the party, what am I supposed to do? Intentions are good, but the music makes me bad, hot damn Don't want me to go and I say Mm-nah, mm-nah, oh, oh Mm-nah, mm-nah, ooh, ah Mm-nah, mm-nah, oh, oh Mm-nah
[Chorus] The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose Promise none of this was planned But if you don't trust me, cut me loose Get caught up in the moment, can't help what I'm feeling Tell me what is the problem? The night's only beginning The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose (If you don't like it, if you don't like it)
[Verse 2] Question after question, but I've explained to you Nobody's planned this, but it's where I should be My body is yearning, waiting to be set free So if you're not coming, don't wait up for me
[Pre-Chorus] I'll call you in the morning, maybe just past two Won't leave the party for you, that I can't do Intentions are good, but the music makes me bad, hot damn
[Chorus] The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose Promise none of this was planned But if you don't trust me, cut me loose Get caught up in the moment, can't help what I'm feeling Tell me what is the problem? The night's only beginning The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose Oh (If you don't like it)
[Bridge] (Dance) Got a feeling I can't, can't stop the feeling, no (Dance) Got a feeling I can't, can't stop the feeling, no (Dance) Got a feeling I can't, can't stop the feeling, no (Dance) Got a feeling I can't, can't stop the feeling, no
[Chorus] The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose Promise none of this was planned But if you don't trust me, cut me loose Get caught up in the moment, can't help what I'm feeling Tell me what is the problem? The night's only beginning The rhythm makes me dance If you don't like it, cut me loose
[Outro] Got a feeling I can't, can't stop the feeling, no
「ファンタジー」という言葉を聞いて真っ先に思いつくことは何でしょうか？エルフや妖精といった伝説上の存在を思い浮かべる人もいると思いますが，もう少し現実的なものを思い浮かべる人もいるでしょう。 When you hear a word 'fantasy' what the first thing that comes to your mind? Some people may think of mythical beings like elf and fairy and their stories. To thers it may bring something a bit more realistic. Fantasy (Mariah Carey)

私の祖父は「いつもきちんとした格好をして安物の靴は履くな」と言いこう続けました「他人は身だしなみで相手を判断する。出会った時には相手の本当の姿はわからないから」 "Always dress good and never wear cheap pair of shoes," and my grandfather continued "People judge you from the way you dress. They don't know who you are when they see you." Fight For You (H.E.R.)
[Verse 1] All the smoke in the air Feel the hate when they stare All the pain that we bear Oh, you better beware Their guns don't play fair All we got is a prayer It was all in their plans Wash the blood from your hands
[Pre-Chorus] Freedom for my brothers Freedom 'cause they judge us Freedom from the others Freedom from the leaders, they keepin' us Freedom gon' keep us strong Freedom if you just hold on Freedom ain't free at all, oh no
[Chorus] I'm gon' see it through There's no one, there's no one like you Long as I'm standing, we can never losе (Uh) I'ma always, always fight for you I'ma always, always fight for you
[Verse 2] Mental institution causing so much confusion Seems the only solution is a new еvolution We can't take it no more No, it can't be ignored When they knock on your door, will you be ready for war?
[Pre-Chorus] Freedom 'cause they need us (Freedom 'cause they need us) Free from how they see us (Oh, oh) Freedom, won't you free us? (Free us) Freedom doesn't hang from the trees Freedom from injustice (Injustice) Freedom from corruption (Corruption) They aiming for destruction
[Chorus] And you know, they gon' see it through (Yeah, yeah) There's no one, there's no one like you (Like you) Long as I'm standing, we can never lose (Uh) I'ma always (Always), always fight for you (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I'm always fight for you
[Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh See it through There's no one, there's no one like you, ooh-ooh I'ma always fight for you For you, for you, fight for you
この曲の歌詞に使われているのはたったの6語：「fly」「robin」「up」「to」「the」「sky」です。これほど短い歌詞でビルボードのホット100のトップとグラミー賞の最優秀R&Bインストゥルメンタル・パフォーマンスの両方を獲得した曲はおそらくこの曲だけではないでしょうか。 The entire song comprises of only six words: fly, robin, up, to, the, sky. This is probably the only song that topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for “Best R&B Instrumental Performance with such short lyrics. Fly Robin Fly (Silver Convention)
Fly, robin fly Fly, robin fly Fly, robin fly Up, up to the sky
主人公が一体なにをやらかしたのかはわかりませんが，たとえそれが何であれ，主人公の方では取り立てて相手のためにその始末や埋め合わせをするつもりはなさそうです。 I don't know exactly what the narrator did and whatever it may be, they're not doing any follow-up or making up for the second person soon. Right On time (Brandi Carlile)
[Verse 1] Come back now, even if you call me out You might be angry now, of course you are I'm scared too, didn't mean to take it out on you I know I always do, you're the strongest person in the room Turn back time, help me to rewind and we can Find ourselves again
[Chorus] It's not too late Either way, I lose you in these silent days It wasn't right But it was right on time
[Verse 2] Don't look down I can feel it when your heart starts pounding It's beyond your control, you know it is It's getting to the point where I can't carry on I never held my breath for quite this long And I don't take it back, I did what I had to do
[Chorus] It's not too late Either way, I lose you in these silent days It wasn't right But it was right on time
[Chorus] It's not too late Either way, I lose you in these silent days It wasn't right But it was right on time
自分だけの「魂」というものがあると思いますか？体の奥深くから自分自身をコントロールし支配するそういうものが。私はないと思います。 Do you think our own soul exists? One single entity that controls and rules us from deep within. I don't. Take A Bow (Madonna)
[Verse 1: Madonna, Babyface] Take a bow, the night is over This masquerade is getting older Lights are low, the curtains down There's no one here (There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd) Say your lines, but do you feel them? Do you mean what you say when there's no one around? (No one around) Watching you, watching me, one lonely star (One lonely star, you don't know who you are)
[Chorus: Madonna, Babyface, Both] I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why, oh, why? The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye-bye) Say good-bye
[Verse 2: Madonna, Babyface] Make them laugh, it comes so easy When you get to the part where you're breaking my heart (Breaking my heart) Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown (Just make them smile the whole world loves a clown) Wish you well, I cannot stay You deserve an award for the role that you played (Role that you played) No more masquerade, you're one lonely star (One lonely star and you don't know who you are)
[Chorus: Madonna, Babyface, Both] I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why, oh, why? The show is over, say good-bye
I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why, oh, why? The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye-bye) Say good-bye
[Bridge: Madonna, Babyface] All the world is a stage (World is a stage) And everyone has their part (Has their part) But how was I to know which way the story’d go? How was I to know you'd break (You'd break, you'd break, you'd break) You'd break my heart?
[Chorus: Madonna, Babyface, Both] I've always been in love with you (I've always been in love with you) I guess you've always known You took my love for granted, why, oh, why? The show is over, say good-bye I've always been in love with you (Always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true) You took my love for granted, why, oh, why? The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (Bye-bye) Say good-bye
人間の声には特別な力があるのでしょうか？個人的に言うと以前はそう思っていましたが今はわかりません。「you can do it」とほとんどいつまでも繰り返すこの曲を聞いていると，人間の声なのに何かの楽器の音に思えてきたからです。 Do human voices have some magical power to us? I believed so but now I'm not so sure about it. When a phrase "you can do it" repeats almost endlessly in this song, it sounds like another musical instrument. You Can Do It (Caribou)
You can do it You can do it You can do it You can do it
Do it Do it Do it Do it
You can do it You can do it You can do it You can do it
いても立ってもいられない気持ちになると，落ち着いて冷静な考え方をすることができなくなります。詐欺に引っかかるのはそのためです。 When you get agitated, keeping yourself calm and and use a rational thinking isn't very easy. That's why people fall prey to scams. Relax Max (Dinah Washington)
Relax, Max Your nerves are just like jumpin' jacks, Max Your heart is thumpin' with a crazy sound Hear it pound Bumpin', bumpin', bumpin' Jumpin' up and down
Stay cool, fool Just take it easy That's the rule, fool The evenin' hasn't even started yet So, my pet Control yourself, control yourself Don't get upset

ツッコミどころが多すぎて。まずとにかくコンピュータがそう言ったからといって，こんな未知の惑星にいるのだから，絶対に宇宙服のヘルメットをあんなに簡単に取ってはいけません。 There's so much going here. First of all, never ever remove the helmet of your space suit so casually on an unknown planet like this even if the computer tells you it's OK. Kiss Me More (Doja Cat ft. SZA)
[Verse 1: Doja Cat] We hug and, yes, we make love And always just say goodnight (La-la-la-la-la-la) And we cuddle, sure, I do love it But I need your lips on mine

[Verse 2: Doja Cat] I, I feel like fuckin' somethin' But we could be corny, fuck it Sugar, I ain't no dummy, dummy I likе to say, "What if?", but if We could kiss and just cut the rubbish Then I might bе onto somethin' I ain't givin' you one in public I'm givin' you hundreds, fuck it Somethin' we just gotta get into Sign first, middle, last on the wisdom tooth Niggas wishin' that the pussy was a kissin' booth Taste breakfast, lunch, and gin and juice And that dinner just like dessert too And when we French, refresh, gimme two When I bite that lip, come get me too He want lipstick, lip gloss, hickeys too, huh
[Chorus: Doja Cat] Can you kiss me more? We're so young, boy, we ain't got nothin' to lose, uh-oh It's just principle Baby, hold me 'cause I like the way you groove, uh-oh

数日間徹夜するのが非常に難しいように，自分の体と心をコントロールすることはほぼ不可能でいずれは負けてしまいます。 As staying awake for few days is difficult, trying control our body and mind is hardly possible. Sooner or later we will give in. The Vow (The Flamingos)
[Verse] My heart belongs only to you and I’ll never, never ever, let you go (let you go, never let you go)
I made a vow to love only you and I’ll never, never ever, let you go (never let you go)
[Bridge] Oh, all the joy we share No other love could compare Having no, no regrets Never to forget (Oh Ohhh)
[Verse] I believe true love never ever dies and I’ll never, never ever, let you go (never let you go)
[Bridge] Oh, the joy we share (oh, the joy we share) No other love could compare (No other love could compare) Having no, no regrets (Having no regrets) (Never, never darling forget) (Oh Ohh)
[Verse] I believe true love never ever dies and I’ll never, never ever, let you go
おそらく需要と供給というものは我々が考える以上に物事を決定しているのではないでしょうか？恋愛関係の場合，相手を必要とする度合いが低い方が常に優位に立ちます。 Maybe supply and demand control things far more than we think they should. In a romantic relationship, one who needs the others less always has an upper hand. One Right Now (Post Malone & The Weeknd)
[Intro: The Weeknd] Na-na-na-na, na-na Na-na-na-na, oh no Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Post Malone] Said you love me, but I don't care That I broke my hand on the same wall That you told me that he fucked you on (Oh) You think it's so easy fuckin' with my feelings I got one comin' over and one right now (Uh) One right now (One right now, one right now, oh) I got one comin' over and one right now
[Verse 1: Post Malone] Said you wanna have my babies I fucked you so good, you should pay me Don't call me "baby" when you did me so wrong (When you did me so wrong) But I got over what you did already Body for a body, I’m so petty How many of your friends fit in my Rolls? (Can you fit in my Rolls?) Bought you a new face, you should call me "Dad," baby Hermès, but you dropped the bag, baby Truth is, maybe one's just not еnough
[Chorus: Post Malone & The Weeknd] You say you love me, but I don't care That I brokе my hand on the same wall That you told me that he fucked you on (That he fucked you on) You think it's so easy fuckin' with my feelings (Feelings) I got one comin' over and one right now (Uh) One right now (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (One right now, one right now, oh yeah) I got one comin' over and one right now (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (One right now, one right now, oh) I got one comin' over and one right now
[Verse 2: The Weeknd] You're a stain on my legacy We can't be friends, can't be family (Oh) You probably fuck all my enemies (Oh) I can't let you be next to me Oh, you belong to the world now So just leave me alone now We're not in touch no more
[Chorus: Post Malone & The Weeknd, Post Malone, The Weeknd] You say you love me, but I don't care (No, I don't care) That I broke my hand on the same wall That you told me that he fucked you on (Oh) You think it's so easy fuckin' with my feelings (Feelings) I got one comin' over and one right now One right now (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah) (Fuckin' with my, fuckin' with my feelings) I got one comin' over and one right now (Ooh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah) (One right now) I got one comin' over and one right now
[Outro: Post Malone & The Weeknd, Post Malone, The Weeknd] (Hey) (One right now, one right now) (Ooh yeah) I got one comin' over and one right now
[Intro: The Weeknd] ダメだね，無理だ そういうわけにゃいかないよ ああそうだ
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Post Malone] 好きだって言われても，そんなの俺は知らないね 同じ壁を殴り続けてそれで片手を骨折しても あいつと寝てるって聞かされたって 俺の気持ちを弄ぶとか簡単だって思ってるだろ？ けど相手ならもういるし，今だってひとりじゃないぜ （今ここにいるんだよ） けど相手ならもういるし，今だってひとりじゃないぜ
[Chorus: Post Malone & The Weeknd, Post Malone, The Weeknd] 好きだって言われても，そんなの俺は知らないね 同じ壁を殴り続けてそれで片手を骨折しても あいつと寝てるって聞かされたって（あいつとずっと寝てるって） 俺の気持ちを弄ぶすとか（俺の気持ちを）簡単だって思ってるだろ？ けど相手ならもういるし，今だってひとりじゃないぜ 今ここにひとりいて（そうなんだ） （俺の気持ちを弄ぶとか） けど相手ならもういるし，今だってひとりじゃないぜ （そうなんだ） （今ここにいるんだよ）
[Outro: Post Malone & The Weeknd, Post Malone, The Weeknd] （なあ聞けよ） （今もひとりいるんだよ） （その通り） 相手ならもういるし，今だってひとりいるんだ
「汝己の欲するところを人に施せ」はイエスの言葉とされており「黄金律（The Golden Rule）」と呼ばれていますが，これは返報性の原則で説明できます。 "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you" Jesus said. It's called The Golden Rule. It may be explained by Reciprocity bias. The Love You Save (May Be Your Own) (Joe Tex)
People, I've been misled And I've been afraid I've been hit in the head And left for dead I've been abused And I've been accused I've been refused a piece of bread
But I ain't never In my life before Seen so many love affairs Go wrong as I do today
I want you to STOP And find out what's wrong Get it right Or just leave love alone
Because the love you save today May very well-l-l-l be your own
Listen to me
I've been pushed around I've been lost and found I've been given til sundown To get out of town I've been taken outside And I've been brutalized And I've had to always be the one to smile and apologize
But I ain't never In my life before Seen so many love affairs Go wrong as I do today
I want you to STOP And find out what's wrong Get it right Or just leave love alone
Because the love you save today May very well-l-l-l be your own
「もうどうにでもなれ効果（別名：毒を食らわば皿まで効果） (what-the-hell effect)」という言葉をご存じでしょうか？これはよく「ドカ食い」の形で現れる心理的な現象です。例えばダイエット中で食欲をコントロールすることを求められているとしましょう。しかしある日気分が少し落ち込みそれを食べ物で紛らわそうとします。「クッキー一枚だけ・・・」と自分に言い聞かせますが，一旦それを口にしてしまうと，自分が（ダイエットに）失敗した気がしてそこで止められなくなってしまいます。 Have you ever heard of "what-the-hell" effect? It's a psychological phenomenon often observed in a form of binge eating. For example, you're on a diet and supposed to control your craving for food. One day you're bit down and need some comfort. You may tell yourself "just one cookie...". Once you have it, however, you can't stop there because you feel you've failed. For Tonight (GIVEON)
[Verse 1] We've been done long before it all begun Still can't give it up Lead me on but leave before the morning comes Even though it's what we want, can't keep this up for long
[Pre-Chorus] But I just, I just don't wanna leave you Might just, might just throw away the reasons Why we both can't lay here And secret, secret, both gotta keep it Honest, honest, that's just a game We know we both can't play
[Chorus] For tonight, I'm yours So deny the truth We'll stay behind closed doors 'Cause all I wanna do is lie with you Even though it's wrong to lie with you
[Verse 2] We've become numb to what we know is wrong But no one knows but us The feelings rush every single time we touch Even though it's what we want, can't keep this up for long
[Pre-Chorus] But I just, I just don't wanna leave you Might just, might just throw away the reasons Why we both can't lay here And secret, secret, both gotta keep it Honest, honest, that's just a game We know (Know), we both can't play
[Chorus] For tonight, I'm yours (I'm yours) So deny the truth (Deny the truth) We'll stay behind closed doors 'Cause all I wanna do is lie (Lie), with you For tonight, I'm yours So deny the truth We'll stay behind closed doors 'Cause all I wanna do is lie with you Even though it's wrong, I'll lie with you
