『The Smiths』
1stを訳し終わったので、まとめ。訳してて、こわかったー。。もちろん感動もしましたが。あんなキラキラした音楽で、こういう歌詞だと余計に得体が知れないというか。例えば旅先での早朝に散歩へ出て、ひんやりと湿った気持ちのいい空気の中で、事件現場を見…
Over the moor, take me to the moorDig a shallow graveAnd I'll lay me down Over the moor, take me to the moorDig a shallow graveAnd I'll lay me down Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beadsOh John, you'll never be a manAnd you'll never see…
Bought on stolen wineA nod was the first stepYou knew very wellWhat was coming next Bought on stolen wineA nod was the first stepYou knew very wellWhat was coming next Did I really walk all this wayJust to hear you say :"Oh, I don't want t…
All men have secrets and here is mineSo let it be knownFor we have been through hell and high tideI think I can rely on youAnd yet you start to recoilHeavy words are so lightly thrownBut still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you S…
Hand in gloveThe sun shines out of our behindsNo, it's not like any other loveThis one is different, because it's usHand in gloveWe can go wherever we pleaseAnd everything depends uponHow near you stand to me And if the people stareThen th…
I decree today that life is simply taking and not givingEngland is mine, it owes me a livingBut ask me why, and I'll spit in your eyeOh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eyeBut we cannot cling to the old dreams anymoreNo, we cannot cling …
↑上はベルギーの音楽番組に出演した時のもので、ちょっともう面白過ぎて大好きな映像の1つ。のっけからオチまで、つっこみどころ満載。当時、本国のイギリスも含めて、殆どの音楽番組はバックに正規音源を流した弾き真似のパフォーマンスだった。それでバン…
アルバム冒頭から、何だかプルースト*みたいだなと思っていたら、歌詞がどんどんどつぼにはまっていくので、訳してて心配になってくる。元々のアルバムとしては、この曲でA面が終わり、初期の代表作である"Still Ill"、"Hand in Glove"（デビュー曲）、"What…
Upon the sand, upon the bay"There is a quick and easy way" you sayBefore you illustrateI'd rather stateI'm not the man you think I amI'm not the man you think I am And sorrow's native sonHe will not smile for anyoneAnd pretty girls make gr…
So, goodbyePlease stay with your own kindAnd I'll stay with mine There's something against usIt's not timeIt's not timeSo, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I know I need hardly sayHow much I love your casual wayOh, but please put your to…
2. You've Got Everything Now As merry as the days were longI was right and you were wrong Back at the old grey schoolI would win and you would lose But you've got everything nowYou've got everything nowAnd what a terrible mess I've made of…
次、どのアルバム訳そうかなと思ったのだけど、やはり1stから。当時のインタビュー集等々読んでて、モリッシーってやたらセクシャリティとか私生活とか聞かれてんなと思ってたけど、あの見た目で1stの1曲目でこんなこと歌ってたらそらそうか、と改めて気付い…
