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.

All My Tears (Jullie Miller / Ane Brun)
[Verse 1] When I go don't cry for me In my father's arms I'll be The wounds this world left on my soul Will all be healed and I'll be whole Sun and moon will be replaced with the light of Jesus' face And I will not be ashamed for my savior knows my name
[Chorus] It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter anywhere I lay All my tears be washed away
[Verse 2] Gold and silver blind the eye Temporary riches lie Come and eat from heaven's store Come and drink and thirst no more So weep not for me my friend when my time below does end For my life belongs to Him who will raise the dead again
[Chorus] It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter anywhere I lay All my tears be washed away All my tears be washed away
コミュニティに属していると楽ですがそれがストレスになることもあります。常に見られていて自分の言動をあれこれ言われることもあるからです。逆に周囲に誰も知っている人間がいないと孤独を感じるかもしれませんが同時に縛られていない気がします。 Belonging to a community is very comfortable and a bit stressful as well. You can be watched and sometimes judged by what you do and say. On the other hand being a total stranger is lonely perhaps but feels free. Freedom of The Night (Sophie Ellis-Bexter)

[Bridge] Ooh (Give in to what she wants, Give in to what she wants) When the moon is high, I feel this way (Give in to what she wants, Give in to what she wants) Getting what I need to rise again (Give in to what she wants, Give in to what she wants) When the moon is high, I rise again (Give in to what she wants)
[Chorus] I can feel energy I believe it's healing me All I need is sweet release In the freedom of the night Freedom of the night
8月10日に一体何があったんでしょうか？主人公はなんらかの点で相手を裏切ってしまったようですが浮気でもしたんでしょうか？ What happened on August 10? The narrator seems to have let down the second person somehow. Maybe they cheated on the second person? August 10 (Julie Doiron)

[Verse 2] I guess I don't know what to say You look like you feel the same way I feel like I could run away You'll find me here another day
何かに感謝している時は気分がいいものですがそれは何故でしょうか？私はそうすることで前向きな感じがして自分がいい人間に思えるからだと思います。 When you praise something, it makes you feel good. Why is it so? I think it's because that gives you a positive vibe and makes you think you're a good person. Prasing You (Rita Ora feat.@FatboySlim)
[Verse 1] I've been gone for a minute Been low key with my business Askin', "Rita, who is it? Is it true?" ("Is it true?") I've been takin' off every weekend You and I in our feelings 'Cause the high's so much better with you (With you)

主人公は相手に「お前の人生を俺の人生に入れてくれ（put their (=second person's) world in theirs (=narrator's)）」と求めていますが必ずしもそのやり方でなければならないわけではありません。 The narrator is asking the second person to 'put their (=second person's) world in theirs (=narrator's)'. It's not the only way to make things work. Put Your World In My World (Best Of Two Worlds) (The Soul Children)

いったん「友達」認定されてしまったらもう決してそこから出て特別な相手になることはないと誰かが言っているのを聞いたことがあります。 I heard someone say that once you're put in the friend-zone, you'll never get out of it and become someone special. Build Me Up Buttercup (The Foundations)

相手と一緒にいた頃を懐かしんでいる主人公にはそのすべてが美しく素晴らしく思えているようですが実際には必ずしもそうとは言い切れません。 The narrator is reminiscing about their old times spending with the second person. Everything seems so beautiful and splendid to them but it's not entirely true. Seasons (Sam Austins)
[Verse 1] Met you in the renaissance Had to save you for myself Time for me to be a man, you said I don't need to be saved
[Chorus] Fall leaves, Winter springs (Fall leaves, Winter springs) Summer's cold, it never stays (Summer's cold, it never stays) Softly, can I cling? (Softly, can I cling?)

タイトルの「Northern Sky」は憂鬱でパッとしない主人公の人生を指すメタファーでしょう。「北」あるいは「北方」という言葉をさほど楽しくはない事に結び付けるのはNick Drakeや我々の住む北半球ではさほど難しくありません。 I think the title Northern Sky is a metaphor for the narrator's gloomy and miserable life. In the northern hemisphere where Nick Drake and we live, it's not very hard to associate words like north and northern with something less cheerful. Northern Sky (Nick Drake)
[Chorus] I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky
[Verse 1] I've been a long time that I'm waiting I've been a long time that I'm blown I've been a long time that I've wandered Through the people I have known Oh, if you would and you could Straighten my new mind's eye
[Verse 2] Would you love me for my money? Would you love me for my head? Would you love me through the winter? Would you love me 'til I'm dead? Oh, if you would and you could Come blow your horn on high
[Chorus] I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky
問題は主人公が相手が演技していないと思い込んでしまったところにあります。そうでなければ彼らの素晴らしい演技を楽しめたでしょう。 The problem is that the narrator believed that the second person wasn't acting. If they had known, they could have enjoyed their wonderful performance. Oscar Winning Tears (RAYE)
[Intro] Hello, it's RAYE here Please get nice and comfortable and lock your phones Because the story is about to begin, uh
[Verse 1] Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you 'bout One of the many men, name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then I'm still recovering (Uh) Truly I'm vulnerable, I love a sentiment Quickly I opened up, I learnеd my lesson then Thought I was safe again, thought hе was innocent I was so wrong
[Pre-Chorus] I can't deny, I was stuck in a daze A terrible phase You was convincing though, very believable The role that you played

[Chorus] So I'll take this front-row seat And baby, baby, you can go ahead Cry those Oscar winning tears Popcorn and I scream Baby, baby, you can go ahead Cry those Oscar winning tears
[Bridge] Tears, tears baby You can miss me with the bullshit I can see right through your tears (Tears, baby) Nine o'clock entertainment Oh, man, I wish I could tape it Sit down, no tissues No string section, no tiny violin For the last time, I'm your audience
[Chorus] I'll take this front-row seat And baby, baby, you can go ahead and cry those, baby And baby, baby, baby, would you really go ahead And would you go ahead and just Cry, cry, cry (Tears, baby) Cry, cry those Oscar (Oscar) winning (Winning) tears (Tears), baby (Tears, baby) (Go ahead, cry those Oscar winning)
[Outro] And after his Oscar winning performance I left the room and never saw him again
「ゲイ」という言葉は時間が経って意味が大きく変化した言葉のひとつでしょう。昔は主に「陽気に楽しげに」という意味でしたが今は同性の相手を好きになる人を指しています。 Gay is one of the many words that greatly changed their meanings over time. It used to primarily mean happily but now it usually refers to someone who loves a person of the same sex. Why Do Fools Fall in Love (Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers)
[Intro] Why do fools fall in love?
[Chorus] Why do birds sing so gay And lovers await the break of day? Why do they fall in love? Why does the rain fall from up above? Why do fools fall in love? Why do they fall in love?
[Bridge] Love is a losing game And love can be a shame I know of a fool, you see For that fool is me Tell me why Tell me why
[Chorus] Why do birds sing so gay And lovers await the break of day? Why do they fall in love? Why does the rain fall from up above? Why do fools fall in love? Why do they fall in love?
[Verse] Why does my heart skip a crazy beat? For I know it will reach defeat Tell me why Tell me why Why do fools fall in love?
相手は主人公との関係を続けることにあまり熱心とは思えず，主人公にはそれが不満なようですがそれ自体は別に悪いことではありません。 The second person doesn't seem to be much enthusiastic in a relationship with the narrator. It may be frustrating to them but there's nothing wrong about it. That's So True (Gracie Abrams)
[Verse 1] I could go and read your mind Think about your dumb face all the time Living in your glass house, I'm outside, uh Looking into big blue eyes Did it just to hurt me, make me cry Smiling through it all, yeah, that's my life
[Pre-Chorus] You're an idiot, now I'm sure Now I'm positive, I should go and warn her
[Chorus] Ooh, bet you're thinking, "She's so cool" Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the room Wait, I think I've been there too, ooh
[Verse 2] What'd she do to get you off? (Uh-huh) Taking down her hair like, oh my God Taking off your shirt, I did that once Or twice, uh No, I know, I know I'll fuck off (Uh-huh) But I think I like her, she's so fun Wait, I think I hate her, I'm not that evolved
[Pre-Chorus] I'm sorry she's missing it, sad, sad boy Not my business, but I had to warn ya
[Chorus] Ooh, bet you're thinking, "She's so cool" Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the room Wait, I think I've been there too, ooh Ooh, you've got me thinking, "She's so cool" But I know what I know and you're just another dude Ooh, that's so true, ooh
[Bridge] Made it out alive, but I think I lost it Said that I was fine, said it from my coffin Remember how I died when you started walking? That's my life, that's my life I'll put up a fight, taking out my earrings Don't you know the vibe? Don't you know the feeling? You should spend the night, catch me on your ceiling That's your prize, that's your prize Well
[Chorus] Mm, bet you're thinking, "She's so cool" Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the room Wait, I think I've been there too, ooh Ooh, you've got me thinking, "She's so cool" But I know what I know and you're just another dude Ooh, that's so true, ooh, ooh, oh

キリスト教徒が亡くなると通常は教会に隣接する墓地に葬られ，その死を悼んで教会の鐘が鳴らされます。歌詞に登場する「訴えられて裁かれて絞首刑の判決出ても，教会の鐘の音が聞こえる頃にゃもういない」という下りはそのことを表しています。 When a Christian dies, they're usually buried in a graveyard adjacent to a church and the bell of the church tolls for them. Lines like "Accused and tried and told to hang, I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang" are about it. Ride Like The Wind (Christopher Cross)
[Verse 1] It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again
[Chorus] And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind
[Verse 2] I was born the son of a lawless man Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand Lived nine lives Gunned down ten Gonna ride like the wind
[Chorus] And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind
[Verse 3] Accused and tried and told to hang I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
[Bridge] It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again
[Chorus] And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind
And I've got a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind
[Outro] Gonna ride like the wind Ride Gonna ride like the wind Gonna ride
仮に人間の人生が旅であるなら，どの経路で行くのかは人それぞれ違っていてもその終点は等しく「死」です。だとすれば重要なのはそこまで行けるかどうかではなく「どうやって」そこに行くかの方でしょう。 If a person's life is a journey, the route we take are different but the destination is the same. Death. So it's not if you can go there that really matters. It's HOW you reach there. The Journey (H.E.R.)
[Verse 1] All the times you thought you'd never make it through Felt just like the world just turned it's back on you Didn't stop you All the times you could've give in and you'd given up Times you didn't know if you were strong enough Still you got through
[Pre-Chorus] Somehow it's all part of the plan The journey The journey The journey
[Chorus] It's the journey It's the getting there to where you're going to Going through hell but still you're gonna make it through It's the fire that they can't put out inside It's a hell of a ride
[Verse 2] All the times they thought that they could hold you back But you've always known there was no chance of that You're made (You're made) too strong And when you're going with your heart you can go Farther than you'd ever thought possible Prove them all wrong
[Pre-Chorus] It's a part of the bigger plan The journey The journey The journey
[Chorus] It's the journey It's the getting there to where you're going to Going through hell but still you're gonna make it through It's the fire that they can't put out inside It's a hell of a ride
[Bridge] Every step you take Is the one more step along the way on the journey The journey The journey, yeah
[Chorus] It's the journey It's the getting there to where you're going to Going through hell but still you're gonna make it through It's the fire that they can't put out inside It's a hell of a ride It's the journey It's the getting there to where you're going to Going through hell but still you're gonna make it through It's the fire that they can't put out inside It's a hell of a ride It's the journey Oh, the journey
この曲を聞いた時は少し戸惑いました。曲のタイトルを知らなかったのは確実なのにメロディーは知っていて聞きながら次にどの音が来るのか予想できたからです。 When I heard this song, I was puzzled a bit. I've never heard of the song title but I knew the melody and the notes which come next. Stranger In Paradise (Tony Bennet)
Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside An angel like her
I saw her face And I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare somewhere In space I hang suspended Until I know There's a chance that she cares
Won't you answer this fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more
I saw her face And I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare somewhere In space I hang suspended Until I know There's a chance that she cares
Won't you answer this fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more
厳密に言えばこの世に「客観性」などというものは存在せず，自分の考えていることを他人も考えていると証明できる人などひとりもいません。 Technically speaking, there is no such a thing in this world as objectivity. No one can prove what they're seeing is exactly what others are. Intro (Benson Boone)
[Verse] Do you believe there is a life Where it's just you and me and I? We don't need to wait, we don't need a sign It's only you and me and I And do you believe there is a life Where it's just you and me and I? We don't need to wait, we don't need a sign It's only you and me and I
ある人間が完璧かそうでないかはその人間に何を求めているかで決まります。たとえその人間がどうしようもないバカであったとしても，それがまさに自分の求めているものであるなら，その相手は自分にとって「完璧」な相手です。 Whether a person is perfect or not is determined by what you're looking for them. Even if the person is a complete idiot and if that's exactly what you're looking for, they would be definitely 'PERFECT' to you. Perfect for Me (Bradley Marshall)
[Verse] I've never loved someone like you before And i know i'll never love anything more I give you my all you can take what you need I give you my lung if you needed to breathe
[Pre-Chorus] You should know that I won't let go
[Chorus] I'll be your light when you can't seem to find it Lie on my shoulder when you feel like crying You say you're not perfect but there's no denying You've always been perfect for me And there's not a thing in this world you can't tell me Cause i'll take the weight if it all gets too heavy You say you're not worth it but darling you're perfect You've always been perfect for me
[Verse] I wanna wake up to you everyday With your head on my chest and a smile on your face I wanna spend my whole like with you babe Making you laugh till we're old and we're gray
[Pre-Chorus] You should know that I won't let go
[Chorus] I'll be your light when you can't seem to find it Lie on my shoulder when you feel like crying You say you're not perfect but there's no denying You've always been perfect for me And there's not a thing in this world you can't tell me Cause I'll take the weight if it all gets too heavy You say you're not worth it but darling you're perfect You've always been perfect for me Perfect for me, me, me Perfect for me, me, me
[Outro] I'll be your light when you can't seem to find it Lie on my shoulder when you feel like crying You say you're not perfect but there's no denying You've always been perfect for me
巷でよく耳にする「YOLO（人生は一度きり）」という言葉を個人的には好みませんがその理念はわからないではありません。 Many people use a word YOLO (You Live Only Once). I don't like it very much but I understand the philosophy behind it. Run It (Jelly Roll)
[Verse 1] Days like this don't get much better Top down, good fam, good weather Days like this, we don't miss, never Yeah, yeah Last night, things got a little bit crazy Pulled up doin' 'bout 180 Life goes fast, so there ain't no maybes Yeah, yeah

わからない音が聞こえてきた場合，人間の脳はそれを馴染みのあるものに変換して理解しようとします。 When we hear something we don't know, our brains try to make sense of it by translating it into something we already know and we're familiar with. Yesterday I Heard The Rain (Tony Bennett)
Yesterday I heard the rain Whispering your name Asking where you’d gone
It fell softly from the clouds On the silent crowds As I wandered on
Out of doorways black umbrellas Came to pursue me Faceless people as they passed Were looking through me No one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes Face up to the skies Drinking in the rain
But your image still was there Floating in the air Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city Full of shadows without pity And I heard the steady rain Whispering your name Whispering your name
急激な胸の痛みは狭心症や心筋梗塞といった深刻な心臓病の予兆かもしれません。 An acute chest pain could be a sign of serious heart diseases such as an angina and an cardiac arrest. Chest Pain (Malcom Todd)
[Chorus] My chest is hurting, my feet can't fall out of bed I don't know where to go, so I'll lay here instead With my symptoms, symptoms of sorrow and dread They all said it would fade but again and again I love, I love I love, I love, I love I love, I love, I love
[Verse] I've been so busy But now that I'm alone Where did you go? Tell me why Why can't you live at home tonight and stay with me inside? It's nice Please, I wanna see what we would be if you were by my side Make me feel lonely, soon You might not know me, I wish I could lie But I can't deny
[Chorus] My chest is hurting, my feet can't fall out of bed I don't know where to go, so I'll lay here instead With my symptoms, symptoms of sorrow and dread They all said it would fade but again and again I love, I love I love, I love, I love I love, I love, I love
[Chorus] I'm hurting I'm stuck in my bed I don't know where to go, so I'll lay here instead With my symptoms, symptoms of sorrow and dread They all said it would fade, but again and again I love, I love I love, I love, I love I love, I love I love, I love, I love * [Chorus] 胸のところが痛くってどうしてもベッドの外に出られない 行くとこなんてありゃしないから代わりにこのままベッドで寝るよ 悲しくてやたらに怖いそんな症状出てるのに 周りはみんな言うんだよそんなのすぐに消えるって，だけど何度も繰り返し 好きだって気持ちが蘇る 好きで好きでたまらない
無邪気なラヴ・ソングだと思って聞いていたものの歌詞の最後で裏切られました。とにかくツッコミどころが多すぎます。 I thought this song is an innocent love song until the lyrics comes to the last part. Anyway, I have so many questions. When You're Smiling (Louis Prima)
When you're smiling When you're smiling And the whole world smiles with you And when you're laughing Oh, when you're laughing Mmm, man, the sun comes shining through
When you're crying You bring on the rain Stop your sighing Won't you be happy again? When you're smiling Keep on smiling And the whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing You bring on the joy Be happy, you've got to groove, my boy When you're smiling Keep on smiling And the whole world smiles with you, oh!
'Cause I'm the sheik of Araby (With no turban on) Ooo, your love belongs to me (With no turban on) Well, at night when you're asleep (With no turban on) Baby, into your tent I'll creep (With no turban on) And the stars that shine above (Jumpin' as a jaybird) Will light our way to love (Jumpin' as a jaybird) And you'll rule this crazy land with me (Jumpin' as a jaybird) I'm the sheik-y man, that's who I be
That's who I be! Hey, boy, look out now! There he is, there he is!
ネットを使いこのアーティストの名前をMcGeeと読み，Googleを使ってそれが「マギー」であることを学びました。 The internet tells me the name of this artist reads 'McGee' and Google says it should be pronounced as 'maggie'. Rockman (Mk.gee)
[Verse 1] Honey Just shut up and ride Wherever you are I want it on fire
[Chorus] Keep it up, you started a war Keep it up, you started a war Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, yeah)

[Verse 3] Can't see you, but I see what you're saying The little moves that you're making We can bite down on the world for the taking The little ones that you're making Can't see you, but I see what you'rе saying The little moves that you'rе making We can bite down on the world for the taking Baby, ooh, can't you take it?
[Chorus] Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, oh, yeah) Oh, you can laugh it off But you started a war (Oh, yeah)
主人公が相手にそう思わせようとしているのはこの相手が初めてでも唯一の相手でもないと思われます。 I'm sure that the second person isn't the first nor the only one who the narrator tries to convince them to be. You're More Than a Number in My Little Red Book (The Drifters)
Oooooooooo, yeah, yeah You're more than a number in my little red book You're more than a one night date All it had to take me was just one look My heart began a thumpin' Babe, you had it jumpin' 'Cause you're more than a number in my little red book You're more than a one night stand In case you get to thinkin' that you'd been took You're more than a number Written in my little red book

この曲を聞いていると主人公がもう着ないからと自分の古着を相手に渡しているような気がします。 Listening to this song, I feel that the narrator is giving their ex to the second person as if they're old clothes they're not going to wear it. It's OK I'm OK (Tate McRae)
[Verse 1] See you so excited (Mm) You got him locked down (Mmh, yeah) You're movin' like I did (Mm) Before I found out He ain't just a pretty-faced talker Good with his money, close to his mother You're seein' one-sided (Sided) You got him right now
[Pre-Chorus] And she be like, "He's so perfect" I be like, "Oh, what version?" "Ain't nobody got me this nervous" Oh baby, I been there (Hey) And right in that same position (Hey) So, baby, don't get this twisted (Hey) No, nothin' could make me miss it Take him, he's yours
[Chorus] It's okay, I'm okay, had him in the first place It's okay, I'm okay (I'm okay, yeah, yeah) It's okay, I'm okay, I don't really gotta say It's okay (Okay)
[Post-Chorus] You can have him anyway (Way) Anyway (Way) You can have him anyway (Way) Anyway (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2] Was such a romantic (Romantic) You got me like, "Fuck that" Some months and some long flights Now I can't go near that
[Pre-Chorus] And she be like, "He's so perfect" I be like, "Oh, what version?" "Ain't nobody got me this nervous" Oh baby, I've been there (Hey) And right in that same position (Hey) So, baby, don't get this twisted (Hey) No, nothin' could make me miss it Take him, he's yours

「宇宙服も着けないで月面に立って」というのは主人公が恋愛関係で相手に自分の弱みを見せるということのメタファーでしょう・・・というかそうであって欲しい。 I know it's a metaphor for being vulnerable in a relationship. The narrator says they're on the moon without their suit... Well I hope so. Lucky Stars (Lucy Spraggan)
[Verse 1] On the ceiling in my bedroom They would glow up in the dark I had no idea that you and I were still lightyears apart Well, stars don't look like that At least they don't to me
[Verse 2] As I grew older I noticed less and less The darkest nights are when the sky can really look its best And that's when I saw you As bright as you could be
[Chorus] I thank my lucky stars that I discovered you Like the first man on the moon, but you came out the blue I thank my lucky stars that you're so close to me Like Venus and Mercury, from the darkness to the deep I thank my lucky stars I thank my lucky stars
[Verse 3] Typical of me I run before I walk I'm on the moon without my suit, the world's worst astronaut But I'll just float with you In zero gravity
[Verse 4] It's our adventure It's only just begun And you and I can find some time to orbit 'round the sun And I am never scared As long as you're with me
[Chorus] I thank my lucky stars that I discovered you Like the first man on the moon, but you came out the blue I thank my lucky stars that you're so close to me Like Venus and Mercury, from the darkness to the deep I thank my lucky stars I thank my lucky stars
[Bridge] Take my hand, prepare for takeoff Don't look down, prepare for takeoff Take my hand, prepare for takeoff Prepare for takeoff
[Chorus] I thank my lucky stars that I discovered you Like the first man on the moon, but you came out the blue I thank my lucky stars that you're so close to me Like Venus and Mercury, from the darkness to the deep I thank my lucky stars that I discovered you Like the first man on the moon, but you came out the blue I thank my lucky stars that you're so close to me Like Venus and Mercury, from the darkness, to the deep I thank my lucky stars I thank my lucky stars
進化とは「より良くなる」あるいは「より強くなる」ということでありません。進化によってある種が強くそして別の種が弱くなった（あるいはなったように見えた）としても最終的にそのどちらが生き残るかはわかりません。 We often forget that evolution does not mean making species better or stronger. Sometimes it makes (or seems to make) one stronger and one weaker but nobody knows which of them will survive eventually. Forbidden Road (Robbie Williams)
[Chorus] I walked along a forbidden road I had to know where does it go Like birds that fly into the sun I had to run, I'm not the only one
[Verse 1] Why do you look at me that way? I'm not a problem that needs solving The truth is still evolving Life is the choices that we make We're the masters of our own fate The painter and the paint
[Pre-Chorus] You need to lose your mind To get back to the light sometimes
[Chorus] I walked along a forbidden road I had to know where does it go Like birds that fly into the sun I had to run, I'm not the only one
[Verse 2] Maybe I'm never satisfied I made a lot of poor decisions Yeah, I'd make some revisions And I'm still tryna get it right I'm a living contradiction The cure and the affliction
[Pre-Chorus] You need to lose your mind To get back to the light sometimes
[Chorus] I walked along a forbidden road I had to know where does it go Like birds that fly into the sun I had to run, I'm not the only one
[Bridge] So do you love me now? Or did I let you down? You said you wanted all my secrets So I showed you all my demons Do you love me now?
[Chorus] I walked along a forbidden road I had to know where does it go Like birds that fly into the sun I had to run, I'm not the only one
「preacherman」あるいは「preacher man」という言葉にはそれが正式に認められた牧師や僧侶といったものではないという含みがあるように思われます。 I think a word preacherman or preacher man has a connotation that the person in question isn't officially recognized as a preacher such as a vicar, priest or pastor. Preacherman (Melody Gardot)
[Verse 1] Preacherman gon' tell me Where his body lie Said he down by the river now child Left him there to die
[Verse 2] One by one, we tumble One by one, we fall If I had a solution now honey I would fix us all
[Hook] 'Cause I believe in a world Where we all belong And I'm so tired of seein' Every good man gone
[Verse 3] Take me to that river Lay me by his side Let the water wash me clean now, honey Man done stole my pride
[Verse 4] I have seen the darkness Lord knows I've seen the light Don't recall the Lord Sayin' there's a difference If you're black or white
[Hook] 'Cause I believe in a world Where we all belong And I'm so tired of seein' Every good man gone
恋愛関係はお互いが相手に対して同じ気持ちであることが大前提であり，そうでなければ片思いか悪くすると虐待になってしまう可能性があります。 It's essential for a healthy relationship that both parties feel and think the same way to the other. Otherwise it could be one-sided or worse be abusive. You Look Like You Love Me (Ella Langley & Riley Green)
[Verse 1: Ella Langley] I was all but twenty-two, I think at the time I'd been out on the road lonely at night And it'd been a while, huh, so it was on my mind Well, I saw him walk in with his cowboy hat And I thought to myself, "I could use some of that" His boots like glass on a sawdust floor, huh Had moves like nothin' I'd ever seen before So I walked right up, and I pulled him to the side I handed that man a beer and looked him in the eyes And I said, "Baby, I think you're gonna wanna hear this" Then I told him
[Chorus: Ella Langley] "Excuse me You look like you love me You look like you want me to want you to come on home And, baby, I don't blame you For lookin' me up and down across this room I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave And you look like you love me"
[Verse 2: Riley Green] Wеll, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys When this cute little country girl caught my eye And, boy, let me tell you She was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen in a pair of boots Well, she walked right up to me, handed me a beer Gave me a look like, "Let's get outta here" And that's when I realized that she was every cowboy's dream come true She told me this right here She said
[Chorus: Ella Langley & Riley Green, Ella Langley] "Excuse me You look like you love me You look like you want me to want you to come on home And, baby, I don't blame you For lookin' me up and down across this room I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave And you look like you love me" Alright, now
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Ella Langley] So if you ever see a man in a cowboy hat And you think to yourself, "I could use some of that" Don't waste your time Just give him this here line Goes a little like this
[Chorus: Ella Langley, Ella Langley & Riley Green] "Excuse me You look like you love me You look like you want me to want you to come on home And, baby, I don't blame you For lookin' me up and down across this room I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave And you look like you love me I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave And you look like you love me"
