*早くも週末がやってまいりました。恒例です。
本日の「完璧なシングルを讃える会」は
「( Don't Fear ) The Reaper」
/ブルー・オイスター・カルト。
1976年9月1週にTOP40ランクイン、うんたったうんたったと最高位12位まで駆け上がったキラー・シングルです。BOCは67年にNYで結成されたバンドでして、メンバーは
ドナルド・“バック・ダーマ”・ローザー:ギター、ボーカル
アラン・レニアー:キーボード
エリック・ブルーム:ボーカル、ギター
ジョー・ブーチャード:ベース、ボーカル
アルバート・ブーチャード:ドラムス、ボーカル
の5人。なんつっても全員ギターでステージ前に勢揃いどっかーんで有名。70’sアルバム・ロック・バンドと申しますか暗黒メタル・バンドってイメージ強くヒットなどとは無縁だったところにこれだ。びっくりしました。実際はほれこの通り
気の良さそうな兄ちゃんばっか、さすがアメリカーン。東海岸のグレートフル・デッドって感じで当地では強烈根強い人気を持つそうであります。さて「リーパー」邦題はまんま「死神」。何がそんなにええかとゆうと、こりゃグループ・サウンズだー。ブルー・コメッツみたい。とか思ってしまったのは「森とんかつ、泉にんじん、かーこんにゃく、まれてんぷら、静かにんじん、眠ーるんぺん、ブルブルー、ブルーシャトウ」などと育った日本ガキの「ブルー」から連想したからからかもしれない。何だかなー怖そうだなあって思ってたところにこの何とも言えん愛嬌のあるメロディと歌声。そうなると一転して大好きになってしまったことは言うまでもありません。もしかして当時の合衆国民も同じ?。さーまたしても気になる何を歌ってるか。死神、なんて余計に。あ、最近とみに対訳熱にうなされてます。まー腐るほどFENやらTOP40やら聴いて何を言ってるか大体わかるようになったものの、英検3級の身ですから。正しい翻訳など出来るはずもなく。我はこれを
「大訳」
と呼ぶ。鯛焼きじゃないぞ大訳。あー食べたいタイヤキ。最近アンコをサンドウイッチみたいに挟んでるのが流行っておるようだけんどあれはいけません。中にアンコだ。別にシッポまで入って無くても大丈夫。白身?が上手ければの。で、そうそう「大訳」。最高の曲を何とか己のものにする所業なのだ。もとより正確に訳すなどとゆうことは言葉の壁により不可能と開き直り、がばっとでっかく大きく訳せばそりゃもう楽しい。皆さんもいかがですかい。出来ればそのまま日本語で歌えれば最高。が、そりゃ至難です。この曲は・・・サビのとこは「いけないほんとリーパー」って歌いたいけど・・・後は無理や。

All our times have come 俺達の出番だぜ
Here but now they're gone ここかあそこか、それともそこか

We can be like they are 私達がそうであるように
Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper おいでベイビー、死神を怖がらないで
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper 手を取っておくれ、死神は大丈夫

らーらーらーら らーらーらーら
ここでバンドの皆さんによる大変な状況の大いなる描写。
Love of two is one 二つの愛が一つになりました。
Here but now they're gone ここかあそこか、それともそこか
Came the last night of sadness 昨夜の晩の悲しみと
And it was clear we couldn't go on 僕たち続けていけないの
The door was open and the wind appeared 扉は開かれ風が吹き
The candles blew and then disappeared 蝋燭の炎が揺れて消えました
The curtains flew then he appeared カーテンがめくれて彼が現れた
Saying don't be afraid 「怖がらなくていいんだよ」
Come on baby... And we had no fear カモン・ベイビ・・・僕らは怖がらない
And we ran to him... Then they started to fly 彼の元に駆け寄って・・・そしたら彼らは飛び上がり
They looked backward and said goodbye 彼らは後ろから見つめて、言うのよ「さようなら」
She had become like they are 彼女はヤツらみたいになりました。
She had taken his hand 彼女は彼の手を取っちゃってまあ
She had become like they are 彼女はヤツらみたいになりました。
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper おいでベイビー、死神を怖がらないで
えー、最初は明るい農村のように始まり、すぐさま男ロッカー恒例のめそめそなよなよモードに突入。何を申したいかと言わば、要するに悪い男に彼女が騙されて私は振られてしまいました(^0^)とゆうことで、たいへん可哀相です。「べいびー、怖がらないで」とか言っておきながら実は自分が一番怖がってるつう有様よ。なんて男性ってか弱いでしょう。情けな。何しろ現実世界ではタフに振舞わなければならないからねえ。せめて歌の世界だけでもたまにはグチを・・・って場合が多し。そんな時でも目一杯かっこつけてキザに。ってとこが実に東海岸のインテリさん(ほら何とかって言ったあれ)に好まれた所以。ってまとめるんじゃない。とてもかっこ悪くてそこが素敵です。はい。コードはAm G F Gの黄金哀愁進行。とてーも簡単。アルペジオが95%の決め手ですので是非年末宴会のためにマスターいたしましょう。
*今回のみ原歌詞を掲載いたしました。もとより「大訳」は翻訳でありませんので、その筋の方、今回だけどうかご勘弁を。ほら、だって英語で逆翻訳してもそうならないでしょ(^0^)。

Today's "Meeting to praise a perfect single" is "(Don't Fear)The Reaper"/blue oyster cult.
It is TOP40 rank Inn in one week September, 1976. Yes..after..yes..after..first rank..run..go up..killer..single.BOC is a band formed with NY in 67, and the member is Donald it, "Back Darma", and Rosa: the guitar and vocal Alain Reniar: keyboard Eric Broome: vocal and guitar Joe Buchard: the base and vocal Albert Buchard: Five people (Doramus and vocal). All mustering is famous in front of the stage no matter what it hangs it in the guitar. A dark metal band says by me 70's album lock band or is this in strength and imaging it without relation to the hit etc.It was surprised. It is Americarn though only the elder brother that seem it to fall in love actually and this street nature to be good is done. Full great dead in the east coast seems to have strong root strong popularity in this place in feeling. Well, "Lee par" Dai is the state as it is "God of death.

Is bad. become popular recently scissors of Anco like SandouittiIt is Anco in the inside. It is safe separately entering the tail and without existing. White meat?However, hand. And "Large translation" so often. It is place industry that manages to make the highest tune by yourself. Is already happy at the language barrier with impossibility if it takes a defiant attitude, and it translates into big and greatly when accurately translating from the beginning when it curves. How also about you?If it is possible to sing in Japanese as it is if possible, it is the highest. However, it is difficult. ・・・ Now impossibility.
