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.
イカロスの話の教訓は（あまりに近くまで）太陽に向かっていくと百害あって一利なしということでしょう。 What we can learn from Icarus is that moving (too close) toward the sun will do more harm than good. Movin’ To The Sun (HUGEL, Imael Angel & Ultra Naté)
[Chorus] I'm movin' to the sun I did it all the time I'm goin' to the sun I'm so bad in the dark Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Refrain] I'm movin' to the sun
[Refrain] I wanna take you out of— I wanna feel you in this—
[Chorus] I'm movin' to the sun I did it all the time I'm goin' to the sun I'm so bad in the dark I got the fire in the light I got the fire in the light I got the fire in the sky Oh, that night, that night
[Refrain] I'm movin' to the sun
[Chorus] That night I wanna take you out of— I wanna feel you in this— I'm movin' to the sun
誰が誰を好きになろうがほぼどうでもいいと思っています。誰かを好きになったなら，好きになればいい。その相手が誰であろうと，どういう相手を好きになるべきだと言われていようと。 I don't care much about who loves who. If you love someone, do love them whoever they are and whoever you're supposed to love. Lola (The Kinks)
[Verse 1] I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola C-O-L-A, Cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice, she said, "Lola" L-O-L-A, Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
[Chorus] Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine Oh, my Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand Why she walk like a woman but talk like a man Oh, my Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
[Post-Chorus] Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee She said, "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
[Chorus] Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
[Refrain] Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
[Bridge] I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Well, I looked at her, and she at me
[Verse 2] Well, that's the way that I want it to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world Except for Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
[Chorus] Well, I'd left home just a week before And I'd never, ever kissed a woman before Lola smiled and took me by the hand She said, "Dear boy, gonna make you a man" Well I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
予想していたのとは違っていました。いや誤解しないでください。驚いたのは事実ですが嬉しい驚きです。 It's not what I expected. No, no please do not take me wrong. I was surprised with this song in a perfectly good way. We Go Back (Keith Urban)
[Verse 1: Keith Urban] You were the one when we were young And I never thought I’d see you again But here you are, you haven’t changed at all And it feels just like it did when we first began
[Pre-Chorus: Keith Urban] Same town, same roads I know the streets you grew up on We were the first of all our friends to fall in love
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] I know, I never should have let you go I was young and dumb and messed it up all bad You tell me that it’s too late now Cause there’s somebody new around But what we’ve got is the One thing you’ll never have, we go back
[Post-Chorus: Michael McDonald] We go back
[Verse 2: Keith Urban] Remember the lake our summer escape You lost the keys to your ‘88 Jeep And we had to walk back home Look at us now out on the town* Lookin’ for something or someone Or somewhere we belong
[Pre-Chorus: Keith Urban] Same town, same roads I know the streets you grew up on We were the first of all our friends to fall in love
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] I know, I never should have let you go I was young and dumb and messed it up all bad You tell me that it’s too late now Cause there’s somebody new around But what we’ve got is the One thing you’ll never have, we go back
[Bridge: Keith Urban] Like a 1970 Cadillac, we go back All the days and months and years That could’ve been, I still want you now Like I wanted you way back then
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] I know, I never should have let you go I was young and dumb and messed it up all bad You tell me that it’s too late now Cause there’s somebody new around But what we’ve got is the One thing you’ll never have, we go back
[Outro: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] We go back Like a 1970 Cadillac, we go back
[Verse 1: Keith Urban] 若かったあの頃はお前しかいなかった またお前に会うなんてちっとも思わなかったけど 実際はまた会えた，お前は全然変わってなくて まるで付き合い始めた頃と同じような気持ちだよ
[Pre-Chorus: Keith Urban] おんなじ町のおんなじ通り 育った通りも俺は知ってる 仲間のうちで一番先にふたり付き合い始めたな
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] 別れたりしちゃダメだったのに コドモでものがわかってなくてなにもかもみんなすっかりダメにした もう手遅れって言うんだろ？ 新しい相手が現れそうだから けどふたりの間には 特別ななにかがあって同じものは手に入らない，だから昔に戻るんだ
[Post-Chorus: Michael McDonald] 戻ってく
[Verse 2: Keith Urban] 夏に家を抜け出してあの湖まで行ったよな？ お前は88年型のジープを運転してたけどその鍵が見つからなくて ふたりで家まで延々と歩いて帰る羽目になったろ？ 今のふたりは街に出かけて* 探してるんだ これだってものとか人とか場所とかを
[Pre-Chorus: Keith Urban] おんなじ町のおんなじ通り 育った通りも俺は知ってる 仲間のうちで一番先にふたり付き合い始めたな
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] 別れたりしちゃダメだったのに コドモでものがわかってなくてなにもかもみんなすっかりダメにした もう手遅れって言うんだろ？ 新しい相手が現れそうだから けどふたりの間には 特別ななにかがあって同じものは手に入らない，だから昔に戻るんだ
[Bridge: Keith Urban] 70年製キャデラック，そんな感じで戻ってく あの頃からこれまでの日を月を年月を もうひとつの人生を，今もお前が恋しいよ あの頃とおんなじで
[Chorus: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] 別れたりしちゃダメだったのに コドモでものがわかってなくてなにもかもみんなすっかりダメにした もう手遅れって言うんだろ？ 新しい相手が現れそうだから けどふたりの間には 特別ななにかがあって同じものは手に入らない，だから昔に戻るんだ
[Outro: Keith Urban & Michael McDonald] 戻ってく 70年製キャデラック，そんな感じで戻ってく
1970年代には人はみんな「レーダー・ラヴ」あるいはテレパシーなどというものを信じていたのでしょうか？それともこの主人公が勝手に妄想しているだけでしょうか？ Did people in 1970s believe in something like radar love or telepathy? Or everything is just in the narrator's head? Radar Love (Golden Earring)
I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head, that drives me heel It's my baby callin', says I need you here And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she's lonely and the longing gets too much She sends a cable coming in from above Don't need no phone at all We've got a thing that's called: Radar love We've got a wave in the air Radar love
The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's: "Coming on strong" The road's got me hypnotised And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort coming in from above Don't need no letters at all We've got a thing that's called: Radar love We've got a line in the sky
No more speed I'm almost there Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care Last car to pass, here I go! And the line of cars drove down real slow And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's Coming on strong And the newsman sang his same old song One more Radar love has gone
知り合いにモテ過ぎて放っておいてもらえないという人がいました。自慢に聞こえるかもしれませんが本人は本気でイヤがっていたようです。ただ私のことではありません，念のため。 I knew a person who was too attractive to be left alone by their suitors. You may think they're just boasting but they were really bothered. The person isn't me, by the way. DANCE (Slayyyter)
You couldn't wait to see me out I'm real quiet when you run your mouth Lock eyes Walk by Can't help but feel Unusual... are you for real?
I kind of hate you, but It doesn't matter let me dance... You seem so miserable, it doesn't matter let me dance Feel it in my bones written in blood I don't need you I don't need anyone
I'll never understand why Creatures like you crawl to me every night Orange wine Fake smile I'll keep it real Delusional... fuck how you feel!
I kind of hate you, but It doesn't matter let me dance... You seem so miserable It doesn't matter let me dance... Feel it my bones written in blood I don't need you I don't need anyone
I came here to party and you know what you started I'll end it in the morning when you seem unimportant Oh I came here to party And you know what you started I'll end it in the morning when you seem unimportant
子どもの頃はすぐに友達になれたものですが，成長するにつれ意味のある人間関係を作り上げるのはどんどん難しくなっていきます。 Being a friend was an easy task when we're a child. As we get older, however, establishing a meaningful relationship with others gets more and more difficult. Lavender (Marllion)
I was walking in the park Dreaming of a spark When I heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer In the haze of summer lawns Then I heard the children singing They were running through the rainbows They were singing a song for you Well it seemed to be a song for you The one I wanted to write for you, for you, you
Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green When I am King, dilly, dilly, you will be Queen A penny for your thoughts, my dear A penny for your thoughts, my dear I.O.U. for your love I.O.U. for your love
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue When you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you A penny for your thoughts, my dear A penny for your thoughts, my dear I.O.U. for your love I.O.U. for your love
[Extra Verse 7" Single] Lavender dreams dilly, dilly, lavender's true When you miss me dilly, dilly, I did miss you A penny for your thoughts, my dear A penny for your thoughts, my dear I O U for your love I O U for your love For your love For your love For your love Oh, I'm gonna turn back to you Gonna find my way back to you For your love For your love For your love For your love I'm always walking in the park Always dreaming of a spark For you

「コネってもんがなくっちゃダメだ」という主人公ですが神との間にコネをもつことは可能なのでしょうか？ "You need connections," says the narrator. Is it possible to establish a connection with God? Hardest Truth (Jubet)
Hmm Juju
After school life is the hardest experience Whoever feeds you controls you Money buys peace not happiness Spiritual life hits harder than physical life Whatever was meant to be will be So stop stressing about things that are beyond control Being everywhere gets you nowhere
Our parents also tried not to be poor Big money never comes clean and clean money never comes big Calendar is fake, we only have day and night If you feel to cry just cry even if no one is there for you Education has nothing to do with wealth Even selling your own kidney You need connections Tomorrow is not promised
Nothing is yours Not even your life, just live One day a day will start without you We break ourselves for people who wouldn't bend for us Yet somehow, it's the unexpected hands that lift us when we fall Narcissist's achieve more, than good people. Never think it can never happen to you Everything ever taught is a lie The actual things are not taught And that's the world we live in Consistency does not guarantee success It's not always about working hard Life can hamble you and you see 1k as 1m
You can work hard but still fail while others are just winning without even trying Just because you're not giving up is not a guarantee that you'll finally make it The one who doesn't run Will not get to his destination on time People are evil Self love is very important Breaking a habit sounds easy till you start the process Never think it can never happen to you Bro to bro, dont judge your dad until you become one My face doesn't change, no matter older I get I look 12 yet I am 22 Education is not the key to anything Everybody is jealous but
Sometimes the person who tries to keep everyone happy is the most lonely inside I can tell When you are happy you enjoy the music, when you are sad you understand the lyrics We already existed on earth before just from different generations Yeah, I know it hurts, but you have to let it go Life is meaningless without God
One day I will sit down, cry and say it was hard but I made it At the end of the day, it's only God who keeps his promises Everything comes true if at all you have a strong mindset According to the universal law of attraction of wealth
