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.
この曲を書いたRobert Smithによると「大変なことがすぐそこまで迫っている感覚」が子どもの頃にあり，それがThe Head On The Doorを録音中に蘇ってきたことについての曲なんだとか。 Robert Smith who wrote this song said this song is about a “sense of impending doom” in his childhood, which returned while he was recording The Head On The Door. Close To Me (The Cure)
[Verse 1] I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me
[Verse 2] Just try to see in the dark, just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait until I shake
[Chorus] But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1] I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today, yeah I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me, yeah
[Chorus] But if I had your face Then I could make it safe and clean Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream
この主人公はいい意味で周囲から目立っているようですが，10代の私は不器用で反対の意味で周囲から浮いていました。 The narrator seems to stand out from the crowd in a good way. As an awkward teenager, I was the same but in the opposite way. Invisible (Jazzy (IRL), Chris Lorenzo)

これでいいと思ってすることがことごとくうまくいかないこともあります。良かれと思ってやったことがことごとく裏目に出ることもあります。 Sometimes what you believe the best doesn't work. Everything you do in good intention can be received otherwise. Kansas City (The New Basement Tapes)
[Verse 1] I listen to you time and time again While you tell me just what's right And you tell me a thousand things a day Then sleep somewhere's else at night I'm going back to Kansas City
[Chorus] And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? I'm going back to Kansas City
[Verse 2] And you call me to come, then I do And you say you made some mistake You invite me into your house Then you say "you gotta pay for what you break" I'm going back to Kansas City
[Chorus] And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? I'm going back to Kansas City
[Verse 3] Gypsy woman, you know every place I go Even a thousand miles away from home You don’t care if I'm asleep or I'm awake This fickle heart just turned to stone Going back to Kansas City
[Chorus] And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? I'm going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song And I love you dear, but just how long Can I keep singing the same old song I’m going back to Kansas City
愛の反意語は憎しみではなく無関心です。他人のすることがどうでもよくなったとしたら，それはその人間から完全に心が切り離されているということです。 The antonym of love isn't hatred. It's indifference. If you don't care about what the other person is doing, it means you're completely detached from them. Been By Now (Morgan Wallen)
[Verse 1] No need to act surprised, I've seen it in your eyes I feel it when we lie here, worlds apart It's easier to stay, it's easier to say That there's gon' come a day it won't be this hard
[Pre-Chorus] Nah, we don’t even fight like we used to We don't even care 'nough to cry no more It's been a hundred nights since I knew you How long we gonna keep lookin' at that door?
[Chorus] If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much I know you wanna think that it's what we found But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now Been by now
[Verse 2] If I could go and find, the moment or the night My heart went cold as ice, I'd light the match Don't wanna draw the line, don't wanna say goodbye But we're just wastin' time, girl, that we don't have
[Chorus] If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much I know you wanna think that it's what we found But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now Been by now
[Pre-Chorus] Nah, we don’t even fight like we used to We don't even care 'nough to cry no more It's been a hundred nights since I knew you And I can't spend another lookin' at that door
[Chorus] If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much I know you wanna think that it's what we found But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now Been by now Been by now
重力に逆らって飛び続けるためには途方もないエネルギーが必要になります。ハチドリは飛ばないキーウィよりもはるかに多くのカロリーを消費します。 Enormous amount of energy is required to keep flying against the gravity. A humming bird burns far more calories than a flightless kiwi. Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
[Verse 1] If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
[Pre-Chorus] But if I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same
[Chorus] 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change And the bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows I can't change
[Verse 2] Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah Though this feeling, I can't change But, please, don't take it so badly 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
[Pre-Chorus] But, if I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same
[Chorus] 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change And the bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows I can't change Lord, help me, I can't change
[Post-Chorus] Lord, I can't change Won't you fly high, free bird? Yeah

自由には常に責任が伴います。自分のしたことの後始末をつけられなければ自由を謳歌することはできません。 Freedom always accompanies accountability and responsibility. You can enjoy your freedom as much as you like but you have to manage your mess you made as well. Under Control (Calvin Harris)

[Pre-Chorus] When the daylight comes, you feel so cold, you know I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go
