Four strong winds that blow lonely 淋しいく吹きつける四方からの強い風 Seven seas that run high 荒れ狂う七つの海 All those things that dont change come what may そうしたものは皆、何が起ころうと変わらない But our good times are all gone でも、僕たちのすばらしい時は過ぎ去ってしまい And Im bound for moving on 僕は前に進まなくてはならない I look for you if Im ever back this way もう一度戻って来れたら君を探すよ
I think I’ll go out to Alberta アルベルタに行こうと思う Weather’s good there in the fall あそこは秋の気候がいいし I've got some friends I can go to working for 仕事を手伝える友達も何人もいるからね Still I wish you change your mind 君が考えを変えてくれることを願っているんだ If I asked you one more time それでももう一度たずねられたら But we’ve been thru that a hundred times or more でもこんなことは今までに何回もあったね
If I get there before the snow flies 雪が降り始める前にそこに着いたら And if things are going good そして物事が良いほうに向かいだしたら You could meet me if I send you down the fare また会えるさ、旅費を送るよ But by then it would be winter だけど、その頃までには冬になって Nothing much for you to do 君がやれることはたいしてなくなってしまうだろう And those winds sure can blow cold way out there それでも、あの風が間違いなく、そこから寒さを吹き飛ばしてしまうはずさ
Four strong winds that blow lonely Seven seas that run high All those things that dont change come what may But our good times are all gone And Im bound for moving on I look for you if Im ever back this way
レパートリーに入っているんだけれどなかなか、ステージでは、演奏されない曲ってありますね。 １ステージ２０分くらいとなるとできる曲は多くて6曲、優先順位をつけるとどうしてもあぶれてしまう。 まさに“Freedom Calling”という曲がそれにあたります。 Phil Ochs (フィル・オークス）の作品で原題は“What's That I Hear”で、The Travelers3のCover曲です。 Phil Ochsは1960年代に曲を数百、書き8枚のアルバムをリリース"There but for Fortune"(フォーチュン）,"Changes"(木の葉の丘）など有名ですが、曲作りをみるとコード展開がユニークで新鮮に感じます。
Phil Ochs - Whats That I Hear?
Whats That I Hear 作詞 作曲 Phil Ochs
What's that I hear now ringing in my ears I've heard that sound before What's that I hear now ringing in my ears I hear it more and more It's the sound of freedom calling Ringing up to the sky It's the sound of new ways a calling You can hear it if you try You can hear it if you try
What's that I see now shining in my eyes I've seen that light before What's that I see now shining in my eyes I see it more and more It's the light of freedom shining Shining up to the sky It's the light of new ways a calling You can see it if you try You can see it if you try
What's that I feel now beating in my heart I've felt that beat before What's that I feel now beating in my heart I feel it more and more It's the rumble of freedom calling Climbing up to the sky It's the rumble of the new ways a calling You can feel it if you try You can feel it if you try
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Early Morning Rain 作詞 作曲 Gordon Lightfoot
In the early morning rain, with a dollar in my hand With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so In the early morning rain with no place to go
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go But I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow Well the liquor tasted good and the women were all fast There she goes my friend, o she's rolling now at last
Here the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound, high above the clouds she'll fly Where the early rain don't fall and the sun always shines She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly use to me Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
