抱きしめたい！

こんばんは。

 

今日はめっちゃ久しぶりに、私が洋楽が大好きになった原点である

 

ビートルズの曲を紹介します。

 

彼らのおかげで、KISSと出会い、ＨＲそしてＨＭなどにハマっていったんです。

 

 

さて、皆さんもビートルズの歌は、多かれ少なかれ知ってはるやろうし、

 

好きな曲もあるんちゃいますかね？

 

 

今回紹介すんのは、彼らの5枚目のシングル曲となる、

 

抱きしめたい"I Want to Hold Your Hands"です。

 

ジョンのボーカルがかっこええですよね。

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something
I think you´ll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You´ll let me be your man
and please, say to me

You´ll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you i feel happy, inside
It´s such a feeling
That my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something
I think you´ll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
It´s such a feeling
That my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something
I think you´ll understand
When I feel that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand.

 

A Hard Day's Night

こんばんは。

 

今回紹介するのは、彼らの7枚目のシングル曲です。

 

曲の名前は、リンゴが"It was a hard day's night, wasn't it?"って言ったセリフからついたようですね。

 

この曲のブリッジでの"When I'm home, everything seems to be right"ってところのくだりは

 

当初ジョンが歌うはずだったようですが、ポールのほうがその音域に合うってことで代わったみたいですね。

 

 

 

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight,tight,yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

Owwww


So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight,all through the night,yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...

 

*1 work like a ｄog  「せっせと働く」

 

*2 sleep like a log 「ぐったり眠る」

 

*3 why on earth  「いったいどうして」*whyの強調表現

I Call Your Name

今日からお気に入りの洋楽とは別格扱いしたくなるくらい

 

大好きなビートルズのいろんな曲を紹介していきます。

 

また歌詞などから、英語の勉強にも役立てていただきます。

 

 

今日紹介するのは、この曲――"I Call Your Name"です。

 

ジョンがまだ１４，５歳のときに、初めて書いた曲と言われています。

 

また、この曲はもともとビリーJ・クレイマー＆ザ・ダコタスに提供した曲でした。

 

 

 

I call your name but you're not there,
was I to blame for being unfair,
Oh I can't sleep at night, since you've been gone.
I never Weep at night I can't go on.

Well don't you know I can't take it. I don't know who can,
I'm not gonna make it I'm not that kind of man.

Oh I can't sleep at night, but just the same
I never weep at Night I call your name, I call your name.

I call your name but you're not there,
was I to blame for being unfair,
Oh I can't sleep at night, since you've been gone.
I never Weep at night I can't go on.

Well don't you know I can't take it. I don't know who can,
I'm not gonna make it I'm not that kind of man.

Oh I can't sleep at night, but just the same
I never weep at Night I call your name,
I call your name.
I call your name.
I call your name.
I call your name.

*3: go on　「続ける」
