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.

[Verse 1] I can hear the lonely howlin' out my window I can feel the whiskey not do anything It's two in the morning, TV's on and I've never felt so far from home I can hear the lonely howlin' out my window
[Chorus] The morning light can't come too soon Lyin' here, not next to you Wide awake, I dream of you Sleepless in a hotel room
[Verse 2] I wonder if you're starin' at our bedroom ceiling Lyin' right beside a glass of wine I wonder if you're tossin' and turnin' Wishin' you were kissin' me Starin' at our bedroom ceiling
[Chorus] The morning light can't come too soon Lyin' here, not nеxt to you Wide awake, I dream of you Sleeplеss in a hotel room
[Bridge] Our four walls are painted blue Sleepless in a hotel room A thousand miles past missin' you
[Chorus] The morning light can't come too soon Lyin' here, not next to you Wide awake I dream of you Sleepless in a hotel room
若い頃人が自分のところへ話をしにくるのは助言が欲しいからだと思っていましたがそれが全くの誤りであることがわかりました。ただ自分の話に耳を傾けて理解してもらいたいだけでした。 When I was younger, I thought people came to talk because they're asking for an advice from me. I was totally wrong. All they wanted was to be listen and understood. Talk (Coldplay)

[Chorus] You could take a picture of somethin' you see In the future, where will I be? You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do somethin' that's never been done
[Verse 2] Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missin' piece? Tell me how you feel Well, I feel like they're talkin' in a language I don't speak And they're talkin' it to me
[Chorus] So you take a picture of somethin' you see In the future, where will I be? You could climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody had sung Or do somethin' that's never been done Do somethin' that's never been done
[Outro] So, you don't know where you're goin' and you wanna talk And you feel like you're goin' where you've been before You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored And nothin's really makin' any sense at all Let's talk, let's talk Let's talk, let's talk (U-uh)

この曲は1995年のヒット曲「Insomnia」をサンプリングしていますが，その曲を作ったのが「Faithless（信仰のない）」でありながら，この曲のタイトルが「New Religion（新しい宗教）」なのはかなり興味深いところです。 This song samples a 1995 hit "Insomnia." It's quite interesting that this song is titled "New Religion" while the sampled song was written by "Faithless." New Religion (Bebe Rexha & Faithless)

[Drop] New religion My new religion New religion I found the music, found the music My new religion
[Verse 2] Don't wanna leave yet I believe I found a deeper meaning I'm on the move, I'm in the mood Nothing can touch this feeling Lost in the sound that's all around I feel my body healing I found my purpose in the churches Filled with
[Pre-Chorus] Neon lights So bright And tonight I come alive
[Chorus] I found the music, found the music My new religion
[Drop] New religion My new religion New religion I found the music, found the music (My new religion)
[Bridge] I used to believe there was nothing for me That nowhere was where I belonged 'Til I found my faith in a sacred place Forever is all that I want
