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.
何故かはわかりませんが主人公の話に出てくる相手は人間の恋人ではなく娘かペットであるような気がします。 I don't know why but I think the narrator isn't talking about their lover but about their daughter or pet. My Girl (Garrett Kato)
′Cause I got sunshine On a cloudy day now When it's cold outside Got the month of May, yeah
Well, I guess you say What can make me feel this way? It′s my girl And talking 'bout my girl
'Cause I got so much honey The bees envy me And I got a sweeter song Than those birds in the trees, yeah
Well, I guess you say What can make me feel this way? It′s my girl now And talking ′bout my girl
'Cause I don′t need no money No fortune or fame 'Cause I got all the treasures One man can claim
Well, I guess you say What can make me feel this way? It′s my girl now And talking 'bout my girl now And talking ′bout my girl now
信じるにしろ信じないにしろ，この曲が当時The Beatlesを抜けようとしていたJohn Lennonに宛てた曲だと思っている人は少なくありません。 Believe it or not, many people think this song is addressed to John Lennon who was leaving The Beatles at that time. Oh! Darling (The Beatles)

「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

[Verse 2] She knows being rich is just a state of mind She stays talkin' to Jesus, calls her mama all the time She don't over-embellish, if she says it, then it's true I don't mean to sound jealous, but what could I do 'cause

[Outro] I just wanna be her, I just wanna be her so bad Yeah, it hurts so bad
「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)
[Refrain] With this ring, I thee wed, with all my worldly goods, I thee endow To love and to cherish, according to God's holy ordinance

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
