ら・ノートで音楽紹介

(J. Bon Jovi / B. Falcon)

【ら・コメント】
「CRUSH」収録のミドルテンポのバラード。再結成後のボンジョヴィの決め技ですね。今一番のお気に入りです。曲調は失恋の歌かとも思わせるのですが、歌詞はちょっとワルイ妻が好きな旦那の思いのたけを述べる内容となっています。
…しかし日本語訳ってなかなかこう、ピタっとくるのないですね。
映画でも「そこはそうちゃうやろー」と思うことってよくありますよね？

＊　You’re not in Kansas anymore：　『オズの魔法使い』のドロシーの台詞のパロディ。
　トウモロコシ畑が広がるだだっ広い穀倉地帯のド田舎カンザスから、美しい魔法の国
　にやってきたドロシーが言った台詞 Toto， I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.
　のパロディは、真新しい場所へついたとき（特に田舎から都会へ出てきたとき）や、以
　前とは全く違う状況に面したときなどに使われる。

There are days when she’s a whisper
Nights when she’s a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She’ll curse you like a sailor
She’ll wound you with her eyes
She’ll always makes it better
But won’t apologize

You know everything about her but don’t know her at all

Chorus:
She’s a ride on a mystery train
To a place you’ve never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You’re not in Kansas anymore
She’s a ride
Mystery train

She cries because she’s happy
She sings songs when she’s mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She’s good at being bad

And long before you knew her you knew she was the one

Chorus:
She’s a ride on a mystery train
To a place you’ve never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You’re not in Kansas anymore
She’s a ride
Mystery train

Solo

I know everything about her but don’t know her at all

Chorus:
She’s a ride on a mystery train
To a place I’ve never been before
I waited all my life for that mystery train
I’m not in Kansas anymore
She’s a ride
On a mystery train
She’s a ride
On a mystery train

ミステリー・トレイン

彼女は昼間囁いてくれるときもあれば
夜叫び声を上げるときもある
朝目覚めるのも
夜目を閉じて夢を見るのも彼女がいるから

彼女は水兵みたいに口汚くののしり
鋭い視線で男を傷つける
いつだっていい思いをさせてくれるけど
絶対謝ろうとはしない

彼女の全てを知ってるはずだけど本当は全然知らないんだ

彼女と一緒にいるのってミステリー・トレインに乗って
見たこともない場所へ連れて行かれるようなもの
しっかりしがみついてろ
ミステリー・トレインに
ここはもうカンザスじゃないんだから
彼女は
ミステリー・トレイン

彼女はハッピーな時には泣いて
頭に来ると歌を歌う
欲しいと思ったときに飲む強い酒と同じ
彼女はワルイことが得意な女

ちゃんと知り合う前から
彼女が俺にとって運命の相手だって分かってた

「Dry County」
(J. Bon Jovi)

Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it’s the devil’s blood
They’re squeezing from the vine
Some say it’s a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we’re just born to die

I came here like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed I’ll lie in it
To die in it’s the crime

You can’t help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
than anybody’s known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home

Now there’s nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil’s gone
The money’s gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we’re hangin’ on

Down in dry county
They’re swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one’s getting out of here alive

In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are God’s children
And He’d be back someday
And I hoped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn’t have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night

I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul’s on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away

Now the oil’s gone
And the money’s gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we’re hangin’ on

Down in dry county
They’re swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one’s getting out of here alive

Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for their big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I’ll die
Make it by the gun or knife
’Cause the other way there’s too much pain
Night after night after night

Down in dry county
They’re swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one’s getting out of here alive

「These Days」
(J. Bon Jovi)

I was walking around， just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There’s a man out on the corner， singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare， these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she’s trying to be James Dean
She’s seen all the disciples and all the wanna be’s
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there’s nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain’t a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast， love don’t last in this graceless age
There ain’t anybody left but but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs， trying to learn to fly
From a second story window， he just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma "I’ve got to try"
Don’t you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I’d rather die than fade away

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast， nothing lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain’t anybody left but but us these days

I know Rome’s still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast， nothing lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain’t anybody left but but us these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast， nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain’t no time to waste
There ain’t anybody left to take the blame
And there ain’t anybody left but but us these days
There ain’t anybody left but but us these days

「Wild Is The Wind」
(J. Bon Jovi， R. Sambora， D. Child， D. Warren)

I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn’t give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn’t know， baby

Wild， wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild， wild is the wind
That blows through my heart

Wild is the wind，
Wild is the wind
You got to understand， baby
Wild is the wind

You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak， too proud， too tough to say
I couldn’t be the one
To make your dreams come true
That’s why I had to run
Though I needed you， baby

Wild， wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through， baby
Wild， wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart

Wild is the wind，
Wild is the wind
You got to understand， baby
Wild is the wind

Solo

Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby， a better man would
Never say goodbye to you

Wild， wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through， baby
Wild， wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart

Wild is the wind，
Wild is the wind
You got to understand， baby
Wild is the wind
