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.

「隣の芝生は青い」と言いますから「あの子」からすれば主人公の送っている生活が素晴らしく輝いているかもしれません。 "The grass is greener on the other side," they say. To 'her' eyes, the life which the narrator is leading now may look fabulous. Be Her (Ella Langley)
[Verse 1] She drinks wine by the glass, not by the bottle She ain't stuck on the past, ain't worried about tomorrow She's a lover, a mother, a sister, and wife She rolls over in the morning to the love of her life Only smokes one on vacation, says just what she thinks She don't need validation or much of anything

「よくする（love on someone）」というのは例えば物をプレゼントするなどの行為を通して他人に恋愛感情以外の愛情を示すことのようです。 'Love on someone' means showing non-romantic affection to someone through actions such as like buying things. Love On You (PawPaw Rod)

「バンガランガって何？」とお考えでしょうか？私も疑問です。アーティストのDARAはこの言葉について特に何の定義もせず，ただブルガリアのKukeriというものから着想を得たと語っています。このKukeriというのは凝った衣装を着けたブルガリア男性のことで，悪霊を祓おうとする伝統的な儀式でそういった衣装を身に着けているようです。 Are you wondering what 'Bangaranga' means? I'm wondering too. Although DARA hasn't given any specific definition of it, she said she was inspired by the Bulgarian Kukeri which are elaborately costumed Bulgarian men. They perform traditional rituals to scare away evil spirits. Bangaranga (DARA)

この曲にはフランス語のような響きがあるので最初に耳にした時はフランス語の歌詞だと思い込んでいました。 Somehow this song sounds French to me. So I automatically assumed it's written in French when I heard it for the first time. Deadly Valentine (Charlotte Gainsbourg)

たとえどんな人間関係であってもそこには「賞味期限」が存在すると思います。勿論その賞味期限を過ぎた後でも望めばその関係を維持することはできるかもしれませんが，以前と同じような感じにはならないと思われます。 I think every relationship has its own 'best before' date. You try to keep the relationship as fresh as it was after that. However hard you may try, it's not as good as it was. The Visitor (SIENNA SPIRO)
[Verse 1] We lay on towers, on rented time I'm yours for hours, you're always mine All things expire, I know you won't stay But I seem to inspire you to say
[Chorus] Say that you love me Say I'm all you need In the back of my mind, I Know I'm temporary You're holding me for the night for some pleasure If that's all we are Know I'll always be a visitor, mm In your arms
[Verse 2] It's in my nature to be cynical I want to be remembered, so I get hysterical I wanna be that one thing, somethin' special to you Say you won't forget me, but you always do
[Chorus] Then say that you love me Say I'm all you need In the back of my mind, I Know I'm tеmporary You're holding me for the night for somе pleasure If that's all we are Know I'll always be a visitor, mm In your arms, in your arms, oh
[Bridge] Mm, no-no-no No-no-no-no-no In your arms
[Chorus] Say that you love me Say I'm all you need In the back of my mind, I Know I'm temporary You're holding me for the night for some pleasure If that's all we are Know I'll always be a visitor No, no, no-no-no Know I'll always be a visitor in your arms
貴族の家に生まれたViolet Gibsonが１９２６年にイタリアのファシスト党首Benito Mussoliniの暗殺を企てたことを今日初めて知りました。 Today I learned that Violet Gibson who was born to an aristocratic family tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist leader in 1926. Violet Gibson (Lisa O'Neill)
[Verse 1] There are many ways to go mad I go out to Rome With a rock in my fist and a gun in my bag And I shoot Mussolini in the nose I didn't shoot to skim the skin of his snout Or his teeth or the lips on his mouth I simply saw a bad egg and I thought I'd take the bad egg out
[Verse 2] I fired twice, I didn't fire right And they dragged me through the town And the fascist dictator carried on and on And I went down Down and down and then down more They hurt me in and out Half tapped, half mad, an ignorant tourist An old Irish hag, they called me all sorts
[Chorus] But I moved in silence, for the love of truth not violence And I'm mad and I know And people don't really change I suppose They just go a little bad when they go
[Verse 3] They locked me up in the Northampton house Where I feed the Northampton birds And I nurse the reasons why I think I'm a Violet I was never a Rose I've been twenty-nine years here I'm not ready to be here anymore See me back on Merrion square Where in spring the violets still grow
[Chorus] I moved in silence, for the love of truth not violence And I'm mad and I know And people don't really change I suppose They just go a little bad when they go
[Verse 1] There are many ways to go mad I go out to Rome With a rock in my fist and a gun in my bag And I shoot Mussolini in the nose I didn't shoot to skim the skin of his snout Or his teeth or the lips on his mouth I simply saw a bad egg and I thought I'd take the bad egg out
