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.
家から離れている時間が長くなればなるほど馴染みは薄れていきます。他の場所で長い時間を過ごした後では，自宅といえどもそこにいると余所者になったような気がするかもしれません。 The longer you stay away from your home, the less it gets familiar. After spending quite a long period of time somewhere else, you'd feel like a stranger even at your place. Slight Return (The Bluetones)
[Verse 1] Where did you go? When things went wrong for you? When the knives came out for you? Where did you go? All you needed was a friend You just have to ask and then
[Chorus] You don't have to have the solution You've got to understand the problem And don't go hoping for a miracle All this will fade away So I'm coming home, I'm coming home
[Verse 2] What did you learn? Locked away all on your own Chance and your head all blown What did you learn? It was unfortunate You missed your chance to find out that
[Chorus] You don't have to have the solution You've got to understand the problem And don't go hoping for a miracle All this will fade away So I'm coming home, I'm coming home
You don't have to have the solution You've got to understand the problem And don't go hoping for a miracle, yeah All this will fade away So I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm coming home, but just for a short while
医者や薬が体を治してくれるわけではありません。回復する手助けにはなるかもしれませんが，実際に治しているのは自分の体です。 It's not doctors or medicine that cures you. They may help you to recover but it's your body that actually heals you. Rescuer (Alex Warren)
[Verse 1] Cover my tracks, I can't bear to go back to the place I was before Took all the last of the strength that I had to collapse right at your door
[Pre-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh, the damage was done I thought that I was a stranger to love 'til you said the word When I was six feet down in the dirt
[Chorus] You kissed me to life, my rescuer Everything in this world broke my heart 'til you broke the curse
[Post-Chorus] Oh, my rescuer
[Verse 2] Out of reasons, torn to pieces Poisoned my lungs just to know I'm still breathing All my life was carved in stone How'd you find my long lost soul?
[Pre-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh, the damage was done I thought that I was a stranger to love 'til you said the word When I was six feet down in the dirt
[Chorus] You kissed me to life, my rescuer Everything in this world broke my heart 'til you broke the curse
[Post-Chorus] Oh, my rescuer
[Bridge] Oh, out of exile, into your hands Your arms are my promised land Waking me up, wrecking my plans Change the fate of
[Pre-Chorus] A stranger to love 'til you said the word When I was six feet down in the dirt You kissed me to life, my rescuer Everything in this world broke my heart
[Chorus] A stranger to love 'til you said the word When I was six feet down in the dirt You kissed me to life, my rescuer Everything in this world broke my heart, everything I held fell apart 'Til you broke the curse

たとえどんなに頑張ったとしても他人を変えることはできません。大変に悔しいことですがそれが真実であり世の中はそういうものです。 You cannot change others however hard you may try. It's very frustrating to accept it but it's true and the way of the world. Bloodstream (Alyssa Grace)
[Verse 1] Maybe I was too young to fully understand So I never healed from it healthy, why I never trusted the man You gotta love all that you have, and I'll take that to my grave Soon you'll open up your eyes, and it'll all be gone one day And I'm sitting here convincing you to pick up the phone and call I am my father's daughter, but I'm nothing like him at all And I hear him in the way I speak, or when I look in the mirror The anger's growing in me, it shows, could it be any clearer? That I'm like him 'cause he madе me the way I am When wе're fighting, and all I need is somebody
[Chorus] And I'm crying on my mama's floor, why don't you want this anymore? And I'm craving you to change for me You're saying, "I hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for you And I just cannot give you what you need" Am I too much? Am I enough? 'Cause you said you wouldn't give up Now I'm numb on my knees, praying to God you'd talk to me Wondering what it takes for you to stay off my mind and far out of my bloodstream
[Verse 2] You never laid your hands on me, and that's something that I'm grateful for But I should've known that you'd gone mad when I saw the way you punched your doors And I don't regret loving you, 'cause I know that you needed it But the way you treated me made me feel like a little kid And something deep inside of me tells me that you're not better now And I'm sorry that I couldn't help, but I'm so glad I made it out
[Chorus] And I'm crying on my mama's floor, why don't you want this anymore? And I'm craving you to change for me You're saying, "I hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for you And I just cannot give you what you need" Am I too much? Am I enough? 'Cause you said you wouldn't give up Now I'm numb on my knees, praying to God you'd talk to me Wondering what it takes for you to stay off my mind and far out of my bloodstream

[Verse 1] I'll live for you I'd die for you Do what you want me to I'll cry for you My tears will show That I can't let you go

輝かしい芸歴を持った人のようですが寡聞にしてLuluのことは知りませんでした。ただヴィデオの観客には彼女が誰であるか間違いなくわかっているようです。 Despite her glorious career, I've never heard of Lulu before. The crowd in the music video definitely knows who she is. I'm In Love Again (Lulu)
Same now every summer We go rushing to the sea All of us together Fighting fit and dancing free But if this is all expected There's one new thing I see As the music takes me You're right in front of me
I'm in love again Never thought that this could happen I'm in love again Better than before I'm in love again Can't you feel a brand new passion I'm in love again Never felt so sure I'm in love again
Some have crossed the mountains Flown across the seas Sailed the mighty river And travelled endlessly Just to find they're dancing in heaven And their sun soaked sunny days Need to look no further For tonight they found their way
I'm in love again Never thought that this could happen I'm in love again Better than before I'm in love again Can't you feel a brand new passion I'm in love again Never felt so sure
And if you're true to yourself You'll find someone else To dance day and night with you And while trusting my heart Show me the dance of love Feels like love again
Never thought that this could happen I'm in love again Better than before I'm in love again I'm in love again Oh, we'll be living again Dancing again Giving again Romancing, my friend Brighter, lighter Oh, night of my life I'm in love again Never thought that this could happen I'm in love again Never felt so sure I'm in love again
