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.

Chase a rainbow; Chase a rainbow; Chase a rainbow Chase your rainbow anywhere you find it; And maybe you'll find it tomorrow Love is a rainbow to light up your life; It's a strong wind that blows away sorrow
Chorus: When you walk along a lonely road When you're down, and all the world can see When you want to run away and hide You need someone to believe in -- believe in me Chase your rainbow; Chase your rainbow; Chase your rainbow; Chase your rainbow Round and round, let your rainbow surround you Reflections to colour your day You'll find someone to share all your dreams Feel your loneliness fading away
(Chorus) Chase a rainbow; Chase your rainbow; Chase a rainbow; Chase your rainbow; Chase a rainbow; Chase your rainbow

Know it ain't right But I finally settled up with the devil My only way out is in an early grave I walked the line Between the hard times and barely livin' Whatever it takes just to keep me sane
Then again, I kinda like the pain Wouldn't have it any other way, yeah
No way out, nothing left to lose What you see is what you get 'Cause it ain't up to you No black tie, ain't no fancy suit Some city boy tryin' to raise his voice Tellin' me, "You gotta pay your dues"
It ain't worth the hell When you're still so far from heaven I might need a lucky seven, get me through the day
Then again, I kinda like the pain Wouldn't have it any other way, yeah
No way out, nothing left to lose What you see is what you get 'Cause it ain't up to you No black tie, ain't no fancy suit Some city boy tryin' to raise his voice Tellin' me, "You gotta pay your dues"
No way out, nothing left to lose What you see is what you get 'Cause it ain't up to you No black tie, ain't no fancy suit Some city boy tryin' to raise his voice Tellin' me, "You gotta pay your dues"

[Verse 1: Mutya & Heidi] You look into my eyes, I go out of my mind I can't see anything cause this love's got me blind I can't help myself, I can't break the spell I can't even try I'm in over my head, you got under my skin I got no strength at all in the state that I'm in And my knees are weak and my mouth can't speak Fell too far this time
[Chorus: All (Heidi & Keisha)] Baby, I'm too lost in you, caught in you Lost in everything about you So deep, I can't sleep, I can't think I just think about the things that you do I'm too lost in you Too lost in you
[Verse 2: Keisha, Mutya & Heidi] Well you whispered to me and I shiver inside You undo me and move me in ways undefined And you're all I see and you're all I need Help me baby (help me baby) Help me baby (help me now) 'Cause I'm slipping away Like the sand to the tide Flowing into your arms, falling into your eyes If you get too near, I might disappear I might lose my mind, oh

「I'm covered in that goodbye dust」の下りが最初はわからなかったのですが，どうやら（別れた相手の乗った）トラックが大量の砂埃を巻き上げながら急発進して（残された方がその埃をかぶって）いる場面を描いているようです。 At first I didn't get the meaning of "I'm covered in that goodbye dust". Someone online explains the line depicts a scene in which a truck leaves rapidly kicking up a lot of dirt. Don't Mind If I Do (Riley Green feat. Ella Langley)
[Verse 1: Riley Green] I've been doin' better I hardly ever think of you, lately It ain't all sunshine When you cross my mind I start missin' you like crazy I try to numb the pain But there ain't no damn way I end up in that place and I'm just one whiskey away
[Chorus: Riley Green] And I don't mind if I do Drink up the nerve to show up at your house If you wanna know the truth It's killin' me not holdin' you right now I'm one memory away from fallin' all the way apart 'Cause I might still love you Hope you don't mind if I do
[Verse 2: Riley Green & Ella Langley] I almost quit drinkin' For a while I quit thinkin' about you I got a little sleep, and some nights I can't control it And sometimes I give in because not havin' you is hard on me And when I give into that vice and pour another over ice Girl, I know that's when I start missin' you again
[Chorus: Riley Green & Ella Langley] And I don't mind if I do Drink up the nerve and show up at your house If you wanna know the truth It's killin' me not holdin' you right now I'm one memory away from fallin' all the way apart 'Cause I might still love you Hope you don't mind if I do
[Bridge: Riley Green & Ella Langley] Need you to pick me up when I'm covered in that goodbye dust you're the only thing to get me through
[Chorus: Ella Langley & Riley Green] Well, I don't mind if you do Drink a little too much and show up at my house Be nice to hear the truth Is it killin' you not holdin' me right now? If fallin' into me is the only thing you think is gonna get you through Then I don't mind if you do I don't mind
今までの人生でかなりの時間を無駄にしてきました。望んでそうしたこともありますが気づかないうちにそうなっていたこともあります。あの時間は一体どこへ消えたんでしょうか？ I've wasted so much time in my life. Sometimes I wanted to do so and sometimes without knowing it. Where did it go, really? Heavensent (The Steel Divers)
I know our days are heaven sent Lord knows I know not where they went Shake my head and I wonder how I'll ever get to heaven now
An angel came one winter dawn You shoulda seen what she had on Wind was whistlin' like its rain She left again just like she came
I know our days are heaven sent Lord knows I know not where they went Shake my head and I wonder how I'll ever get to heaven now
I move around a lot these days Honky tonks and broad freeways The same thing that I've always done But I'm older now and I get tired some
I know our days are heaven sent Lord knows I know not where they went Shake my head and I wonder how I'll ever get to heaven now
Those who think they hold the cards I send out my kind regards Those who love to those who care I'll meet you down the road somewhere
I know our days are heaven sent Lord knows I know not where they went Shake my head and I wonder how I'll ever get to heaven now
I know our days are heaven sent Lord knows I know not where they went Shake my head and I wonder how I'll ever get to heaven now * そうなんだよ人生は天国からの贈り物 神様にゃわかってる，今までの人生が一体どこへ消えたのかそれが俺にはわからないまま かぶりを振って思ってるって このままで天国なんて行けるのかって

[Verse 2] My little hard-to-get baby I wanna give you the world Not saying you gotta chase me But I wouldn't mind it If you gave me just a little bit Of something we can work it with But all you do is push me out (Ha)
[Refrain] But I like it anyways 'Cause I think I'm getting closer to you every day I know you'll come around to me eventually Just sit back, relax, and join my company Oh, baby, trust me

「ここ（the House）」が実際に何を指しているのかは不明で，クラブやバーなどの場所を指している可能性もあれば瞑想することで至るなんらかの精神的状態である可能性もあります。 I don't know what 'the House' exactly refers to. Could be a place like a club or a bar or some mental state one can reach through meditation. Come on Up to the House (Tom Waits)
