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.
この曲にはなんとなく不吉なものを感じます。無論これが1995年に東京で起こった虐殺と関連があるとは思いませんが，「グル」という言葉をあの時初めて知りました。 I see something ominous about this song. I don't think it has something to do with the massacure in the Tokyo subways in 1995. It was then that I learned a word 'guru'. Infinity (Guru Josh)

流されずこのままでいたいと仮に主人公が望んだとしてもそれは不可能です。万物は流転してきますし最後に行きつく先は常に同じです。 Even if the narrator wants not to be carried away and stay as they are, it's not possible. Nothing stays the same and our final destination is always the same. Angels Above Me (Stick Figure / MDB)
[Verse 1] Run, run, river, carry me home to the ocean The river and the road, take me home to the ocean The friends in my life like stars in the sky, leave the lights on I'm trying to get back home, the river keeps on flowing to the ocean

[Verse 2] I've been playing my guitar, laying underneath the stars for you In the light of the moon, I'll be forever singing tunes for you When the stars are aligned like the colors in your eyes, greens and blues It's not when or whether, we'll always be together, it's true
[Chorus] And the angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love Oh, the angels, angels, please don't leave I'm trying to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please
[Bridge] And sometimes, I feel like my heart's gonna burst at the seams And sometimes, I think it's just love that we want or we need And sometimes, I feel like I'm living too much in my dreams And sometimes, oh Lord, let me be, let me be, oh
[Verse 3] Are you feeling like I'm feeling? Searching for the meaning of it all I spend all my days trying to make some sense of it all The ocean and the seas and the windblown trees are changing And your love for me is all I need to keep believing
[Chorus] The angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love Oh, the angels, angels, please don't leave I'm trying to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

[Verse 1] No more getting around in love With it all still going on Know you won't admit it, boy When you're doing something wrong I don't wanna talk about all the things you've said and done All you do is break my heart Are you ever coming home?
[Chorus] Carry on No one's ever made me feel this helpless Carry on No one's ever made me feel this helpless
[Verse 2] I'm no good with words at all but I saw it comin' on Please don't give it up this way We were walking arm in arm I don't wanna talk about all the things you've said and done All you do is break my heart Are you ever coming home?
[Chorus] Carry on No one's ever made me feel this helpless Please, carry on No one's ever made me feel this helpless No one's ever made me feel this love

[Verse 1] Your knuckles whiten on the wheel The last thing that your hands will feel Your final flight can't be delayed No earth, just sky, it's so serene Your pink, fat lips let go a scream You fry and melt, I love the scene
[Chorus] Sometimes I fantasize When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Don't these times fill your eyes? When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Are you all alone, is anybody home?
[Verse 2] I'm standing warm against the cold Now that the flames have taken hold At least you left your life in style And for as far as I can see Tin twisted grills grin back at me Bad money dies, I love the scene
[Chorus] Sometimes I fantasize When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Don't these times fill your eyes? When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Are you all alone, is anybody home?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] Sometimes I fantasize When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Don't these times fill your eyes? When the streets are cold and lonely And the cars, they burn below me Are you all alone, are you made of stone?
