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.
「Feathers on my breath（つく息の上に羽毛が乗っかると）」という下りに登場する「feather」が本当に「feathers」なのかあるいは「fearless」なのかを確実に知っているのはこの曲を書いた当人だけでしょう。 Probably no one but who wrote the lyrics can be sure what followed by "on my breath" is actually 'feathers' not 'fearless'. Teardrop (Massive Attack / Girl In The Year Above, Antony Genn & Martin Slattery)
[Verse 1] Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Feathers on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me, makes me lighter Feathers on my breath
[Chorus] Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath
[Verse 2] Night, night of matter Black flowers blossom Feathers on my breath Black flowers blossom Feathers on my breath
[Chorus] Teardrop on the fire Feathers on my

[Chorus] Teardrop on the fire Feathers on my breath

① teardrop on the fireという表現が何度も登場する（名詞＋名詞） ② この曲を歌っているElizabeth Fraserがスコットランド出身であり発音に独特のアクセントがある ③ その後に「Gentle impulsion, Shakes me, makes me lighter（ちょっと押される感じになって うろたえちゃうけど楽になる）」という浮上するイメージが続く
大学の頃，自分ではそれと気づかずに相手に気があるような態度を取る知り合いがいて，少なからぬ人間がそれにやられたそうです。 When I was in uni, I knew a person who always unwittingly behaved like she liked others. I heard many boys fell for her. Uninvited (Alanis Morissette)
[Verse 1] Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave
[Chorus] But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight
[Verse 2] Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd meet shepherd
[Chorus] But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight
[Verse 3] Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before
[Chorus] But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight
[Outro] I don't think you unworthy But I need a moment to deliberate
BBCのドラマPeaky Blindersのために作られたわけではないとわかっていても，この曲はそのシリーズの雰囲気を驚くほど良く表しています。 I know it's not written for a BBC drama series Peaky Blinders but it captures the vibes of it surprisingly well. Red Right Hand (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
[Verse 1] Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
[Verse 2] He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams, it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul But there won't be a single thing that you can do He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
[Verse 3] You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio and the Bowery and the slums A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
[Verse 4] You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen Hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand
（補足） * the ghetto, the barrio and the Bowery and the slum ・・・ the ghetto（ユダヤ人街） the barrio （ヒスパニックの暮らす地区）the Bowery（バワリー通り：ニューヨーク市のマンハッタン南端部の通りおよび地域。酒場が多くいざこざの絶えない地域として有名） and the slum（貧民街）
日本において火事の原因のトップはタバコで焚火，コンロと続きます。ベッドで喫煙するのは止めましょう。 In Japan the top cause of fire is cigarettes followed by open fire and gas stove. Don't smoke in bed. Insomnia (Faithless)
[Intro] And here we are Half past three in the morning I can't get no sleep
Yeah Yeah
I never sleep I never sleep I never sleep I never sleep I never sleep
[Verse: Maxi Jazz] Uh Yeah, I only smoke weed when I need to And I need to get some rest---yo, where's the cess? I confess, I burned a hole in the mattress Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty And at the count of three I pull back the duvet Make my way to the refrigerator One dry potato inside, no lie, not even bread Jam, when the light above my head went bam! I can't see, something's all over me, greasy Insomnia please release me and let me dream About making mad love on the heath Tearing off tights with my teeth But there's no relief, I'm wide awake in my kitchen It's black and I'm lonely Oh, if I could only get some sleep Creeky noises make my skin creep I need to get some sleep I can't get no sleep
この曲を聞いて泣いたという人がいましたがわからないではありません。おそらくこちらをご覧の皆様のなかにも同じようにお考えの方が少なからずいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか？ Someone said this song made them cry. Yes, I think I can feel it. Maybe many of you can too. Black (Pearl Jam)
[Verse 1] Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the Earth to the Sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
[Pre-Chorus] Ooh-oh, and all I taught her was everything Mmm, oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus] And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything
[Verse 2] I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I see her?
[Pre-Chorus] Mmm-hmm, all the twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head I'm spinnin', oh, I'm spinnin' How quick the Sun can drop away
[Chorus] And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything
[Post-Chorus] All the love gone bad, turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be, yeah Uh-huh (Uh-huh, ooh)
[Bridge] I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why? Why? Why can't it be? Oh, can't it be mine? (Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) Ooh, ah, yeah Ah, ooh-ooh
個人的には世の中の悲惨な事件の多くは「十分に与えられていない貧困者」と「必要以上に富を持ちすぎている金持ち」が引き起こしていると思います。 I think that most horrible things in this world are caused by those who don't have enough and those who have too much. I Will Buy You A New Life (Everclear)
[Verse 1] Here is the money that I owe you Yeah, so you can pay the bills I will give you more when I get paid again I hate those people who love to tell you Money is the root of all that kills They have never been poor They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas

[Chorus] I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills I will buy you a new life Yeah I will buy you a new life

主人公も相手も「あの子」が気づいていないと思っているようですが私は違います。「あの子」はこういうこともすっかり気づいていながら，不安を抱えているために現実に向き合うのがとにかく怖いだけだと思います。 Neither the narrator nor the second person thinks the girl knows, I think she does. She's fully aware of these and just too scared to face the reality because of her insecurity. If Your Girl Only Knew (Aaliyah)

寒くなると死にたくなるという主人公ですが，研究によると体温が上がるほどウツが酷くなりやすいそうです。 The narrator is lamenting they feel like dying when it's cold. Researchers say the higher the body temperature gets, the more likely the person gets depressed. When It's Cold I'd Like To Die (Moby)
[Verse 1: Mimi Goese] Where were you when I was lonesome? Locked away with freezing cold Someone flying only stolen I can't tell this light so old

「ここ（the House）」が実際に何を指しているのかは不明で，クラブやバーなどの場所を指している可能性もあれば瞑想することで至るなんらかの精神的状態である可能性もあります。 I don't know what 'the House' exactly refers to. Could be a place like a club or a bar or some mental state one can reach through meditation. Come on Up to the House (Tom Waits)
[Verse 1] Well, the moon is broken and the sky is cracked Come on up to the house The only things that you can see is all that you lack Come on up to the house

仮に優しさに溢れている場所があるとしてそこは誰でも行ける場所なのでしょうか？それともそこにはなんらかの条件があってそれを満たさないと入れないのでしょうか？ Suppose there IS a place where love lives, does anyone can be in that place? Or does it have some kind of requirements for admission? Where Love Lives (Alison Limerick/Labrinth)
(Labrinth Cover)
[Verse 1] You've been hurt And you've been down You've been set out of your course, boy And pushed around Flying high, but oh you felt so low When she walked out of that door and left you on your own
[Pre-Chorus] Don't reach out for me with an apology I'll never suffer your desire Don't reach out for me with an apology But I'll share it

[Verse 1] The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start The bells will be ringin' Saint John the Divine I get a little lonely every year around this time The music plays all night in Little Italy The lights will be going up on old Rockefeller tree People window shopping on Fifth Avenue All I want for Christmas is you
[Chorus] I've gotta know (Nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas) Where do the lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas) Oh, 'cause nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas
[Verse 2] Things are different since you've been here last Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past Maybe you can bring us some hope this year Visions of sugar plums have disappeared Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow? And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"? Today's celebration is bittersweet There's mothers and children in the street
[Chorus] I wanna know (Nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas) Where do lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas) 'Oh, 'cause nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas
[Bridge] I'm all grown up but I'm the same, you'll see I'm writing you this letter 'cause I still believe Dear Santa, I've been good this year Can't you stay a little while with me right here? Oh, oh, I've got to know

(Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas) I've gotta know (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas) Nobody oughta be alone (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas) Nobody on Christmas (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
自分にとって何が良くて何が悪いのかは誰にもわかりません。傍から見れば良くないように見えることでも実はそれが良いことである場合もありますしその逆もあります。 Nobody knows what's good and bad for you. A thing which looks bad for you from other people's point of view, might be a fortune in disguise and vice versa. Self Esteem (The Offspring)
[Verse 1] I wrote her off for the tenth time today And practiced all the things I would say But she came over, I lost my nerve I took her back and made her dessert
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know I'm being used That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse I know she's playing with me That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem
[Verse 2] We make plans to go out at night I wait 'til two, then I turn out the light This rejection's got me so low If she keeps it up, I just might tell her so
[Post-Chorus] When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can spend Well, I guess I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right? Yeah
[Verse 3] Now I'll relate this little bit It happens more than I'd like to admit Late at night, she knocks on my door She's drunk again and looking to score
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know I should say no But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
[Post-Chorus] When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can spend Well, I guess I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right? Yeah
Pink TriangleがLGBTの世界において広く認められているシンボルのひとつだとは知りませんでした。何か特別な色の指定でもあるのでしょうか？それともピンクの三角形ならどんなものでもよいのでしょうか？ I didn't know The Pink Triangle was one of the symbols widely known to the LGBT community. Is there any code for the color or the shape? Or any pink triangle will do? Pink Triangle (Weezer)
[Verse 1] When I'm stable long enough I start to look around for love See a sweet in floral print My mind begins the arrangements But when I start to feel that pull Turns out I just pulled myself She would never go with me Were I the last girl on Earth
[Chorus] I'm dumb, she's a lesbian I thought I had found the one We were good as married in my mind But married in my mind's no good Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Verse 2] Might have smoked a few in my time But never thought it was a crime Knew the day would surely come When I'd chill and settle down When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl Then she put me in my place Everyone's a little queer Oh, can't she be a little straight?
[Chorus] I'm dumb, she's a lesbian I thought I had found the one We were good as married in my mind But married in my mind's no good Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Chorus] I'm dumb, she's a lesbian I thought I had found the one, oh We were good as married in my mind But married in my mind's no good, oh Pink triangle on her sleeve Let me know the truth, let me know the truth I'm dumb, she's a lesbian I thought I had found the one, oh We were good as married in my mind But married in my mind's no good Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve Let me know the truth, let me know the truth Let me know the truth Let me know the truth
プレッシャーをかけられるとまともにものを考えるのが難しくなります。決断するまえにじっくりあれこれ考える時間が必要です。 It's not easy to think right when you're pressured a lot. You need a time to think and consider your decision before you make it. Sometimes (Britney Spears)
[Verse 1] You tell me you're in love with me Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me It's not that I don't wanna stay But every time you come too close, I move away
[Pre-Chorus] I wanna believe in everything that you say 'Cause it sounds so good But if you really want me, move slow There's things about me you just have to know
[Chorus] Sometimes I run Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm scared of you But all I really want is to hold you tight Treat you right Be with you day and night Baby, all I need is time
[Verse 2] I don't wanna be so shy, uh-oh Every time that I'm alone, I wonder why Hope that you will wait for me You'll see that you're the only one for me
[Pre-Chorus] I wanna believe in everything that you say 'Cause it sounds so good But if you really want me, move slow There's things about me you just have to know
[Chorus] Sometimes I run (Sometimes) Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm scared of you But all I really want is to hold you tight Treat you right Be with you day and night All I really want is to hold you tight Treat you right Be with you day and night Baby, all I need is time
[Bridge] I'll just hang around and you'll see There's nowhere I'd rather be If you love me, trust in me The way that I trust in you Ah, ooh, yeah
[Chorus] Sometimes I run (Sometimes) Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ooh, oh) But all I really want is to hold you tight (Hold you tight) Treat you right Be with you day and night (Day and night, ooh, yeah) Sometimes I run (Sometimes) Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ooh, oh) But all I really want is to hold you tight I'll treat you right I'll be with you day and night (Day and night)
[Outro] All I really want is to hold you tight Be with you day and night Sometimes I run (Sometimes) Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm scared of you But all I really want is to hold you tight I'll treat you right I'll be with you day and night
対等な関係で虐待が起こることはありません。そこには必ず強い物と弱い物が存在します。 Abuse hardly occurs between two equals. It needs a predator and a prey or preys. Weak (Skunk Anansie)
[Verse 1] Lost in time, I can't count the words I said when I thought they went unheard All of those harsh thoughts, so unkind 'Cause I wanted you
[Verse 2] And now I sit here, I'm all alone So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home A circle of angels deep in war 'Cause I wanted you
[Chorus] Weak as I am, no tears for you Weak as I am, no tears for you Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool Weak as I am
[Verse 3] So what am I now? I'm love's last hope I'm all of those soft words I once owned If I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air 'Cause I wanted you
[Chorus] Weak as I am, no tears for you Weak as I am, no tears for you Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool Weak as I am
[Bridge] In this tainted soul In this weak young heart Am I too much for you?
In this tainted soul In this weak young heart Am I too much for you?
In this tainted soul In this weak young heart Am I too much for you?
[Outro] Weak as I am, weak as I am Weak as I am, weak as I am, am, am Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am
ここでいう「嵐」は一体何を表しているのでしょうか？怒りかもしれませんし不満かもしれませんが何かを巻き起こしそうなのは間違いありません。 What does a storm represent here? It could be anger and frustration. It stirs up something for sure. Brewing Up A Storm (The Stunning)
Honey if the truth hurts Don't look, it might go away It's easy to pretend That life is a rosey bouquet I don't need a platter I'll take it straight from the shelf Give it to me raw I'll take it home, cook it myself
Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild And he can't go on He's brewing up a storm
Can't afford to lose touch Can't afford to lose control The doors are open wide And the wind blows a bitter cold Man holds a mystery Someone else holds the key Oh it's a shame, they're the same The answer doesn't have to be
Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild And he can't go on He's brewing up a storm
Fire in your eyes, in your head Fire in your...........touch But I can't shout fire 'Cause I love you too much The race is on The message is in your soul As a thousand thoughts, a secound Now explode
Brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild And he can't go on He's brewing up a storm Brewing up a storm Brewing up inside and his eyes are wild And he can't go on
ヒット曲を出した後で音楽とは全く違う仕事を選ぶシンガーはあまりいませんがQ Lazzarusはそのひとりでしょう。 Not many singers choose a completely different job after making a smash hit. Maybe Q Lazzarus is one of them. Goodbye Horses (Q Lazzarus)

1992年公開のアメリカ映画「ドラキュラ」の最後でこの曲を聞いたのでこの曲の主人公はドラキュラ伯爵の妻であったという設定の女性なのでしょう。 I head this song at the closing of an American film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' released in 1992. The narrator seems to be the girl who is the reincarnated wife of Count Dracula. Love Song for A Vampire (Annie Lennox)
[Verse 1] Come into these arms again And lay your body down The rhythm of this trembling heart Is beating like a drum
[Chorus 1] It beats for you, it bleeds for you It knows not how it sounds For it is the drum of drums It is the song of songs…
[Verse 2] Once I had the rarest rose That ever deigned to bloom Cruel winter chilled the bud And stole my flower too soon
[Chorus 2] Oh, loneliness, oh, hopelessness To search the ends of time For there is in all the world No greater love than mine
[Bridge] Love, oh love, oh love… Still falls the rain… (still falls the rain) Love, oh love, oh, love… Still falls the night… Love, oh love, oh love… Be mine forever… (be mine forever) Love, oh love, oh love…
[Verse 3] Let me be the only one To keep you from the cold Now the floor of heaven's lain With stars of brightest gold
[Chorus 3] They shine for you, they shine for you They burn for all to see Come into these arms again And set this spirit free
いて欲しいと思う相手は往々にして去っていくのに，いなくなって欲しいと思う相手に限っていつまでも繰り返しやってくるのは皮肉なことです。 It's ironic that people you want them to stay often leave you while those you want them to leave keep coming back to you again and again. Keep Away (Godsmack)
[Verse 1] Sickness spilling through your eyes Cravin' everything that you thought was alive Stab me in my heart again (Ah, yeah) Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?
[Chorus] Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
[Verse 2] Twistin' everything around that you say (Yeah) Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day Oh, rag me, I don't hear you anymore (Not yet) Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are
[Chorus] Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me Yeah
[Guitar Solo] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge] Draggin' on so lonely, aren't you tired, baby? (Yeah) Breathin' life into your lungs, are you immune to me? Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus] Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me, keep away from me Do like I told you, stay away from me Never misunderstand me (Ah, yeah) Keep away from me (Oh, yeah)
