「日本のドラマでカバーされた洋楽」の第3弾は

『Let the river run』 by Carly Simon


です。この曲は映画『Working Girl』の主題歌としてヒットしました。この映画自体は大学のListening Comprehensionの授業で見ました。学歴がない主人公が成り上がっていくサクセスストーリーで、メラニーグリフィス、ハリソンフォードとかシガニーウィーバーとかが出てます。

We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise,
the morning lights
the streets that meet them,
and sirens call them on
with a song.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the dark'ning dawn.

It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover.

Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.


《用語解説》
let
 コレは高校英語で習う範疇ですね。「使役動詞」と呼ばれるものです。『~させる』っていうヤツね。
 同類にはmake、get、haveなどもありますが、それぞれに使われる場面が違うので注意ですよ。"let the river run"はいえるけど、"make the river run"はいえません。"let it be"はいえるけど、"get it be"とはいえないのね。

YoutubeにはPVがありましたよ。映画のシーンがたくさん出てきます。

で、この曲を日本語でカバーして主題歌にしていたのが、『HOTEL』です。高島弟が出てるヤツね。「姉さん事件です」ってどんだけ事件が起きとんねんって感じですが。この曲を白鳥英美子が歌ってます。

ところで全然知らなかったのですが、HOTELに出てる高島弟の先輩のベルボーイ役をやっている人って、HOTELの原作者の石ノ森章太郎の息子だったんですね。知らんかった。

"LongMingのオススメ"-I think we're alone now

「日本のドラマでカバーされた洋楽」の第2弾ですが、今回は

『I think we're alone now』 by Tiffany


です。

Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Running just as fast as we can
Holdin' onto one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound



youtubeにPVがありました
なかなかこういうメロディーの曲って今は流行らないのかな。

さてこの曲の日本語バージョンを主題歌にしていたのは我らが大映テレビ製作の『青春オーロラスピン スワンの涙』でございます。このドラマ自体は主人公が宮沢りえです。武田久美子もいじめる役で出てます。あと和久井映見もね。主題歌は『ひとりぼっちに帰らない』というタイトルになってます。歌っているのは仲村知夏です。

歌詞がどっかにないかを探したんですが、なくってねぇ。

"LongMingのオススメ"-FLASHDANCE...What a feeling

2006年12月14日 21時06分04秒 | Faverite Music
今回から3回シリーズでお届けするのは、「日本のドラマでカバーされた洋楽」の中からLongMingのオススメをお届けします。まずは

『FLASHDANCE...What a feeling』 by Irene Cara


です。

ご存知、映画『Flashdance』の主題歌で、Irene Caraが歌っています。

作詞:Giorgio Moroder/Keith Forsey/Irene Cara/作曲:Giorgio Moroder/Keith Forsey/Irene Cara

First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well I hear the music
Close my eyes feel the rhythm
Wrap around take you hold
Of my heart

What a feeling
Please believe it
I can have it all now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
You just come alive
You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling
Please believe it
I can have it all now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
You just come alive
Now I'm dancin' through my life
What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)
Please believe it (I am rhythm now)
You just come alive
You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
Whata a feeling (You just gotta laugh whan I cry)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (You just gotta laugh when I cry)

(Call, call, call, call what a feeling) I can have it all
(Please believe it) Please believe it
(Take your passion)
(Make it happen) Make it happen ...

さて、この曲は日本語でもおなじみじゃないでしょうか。LongMingが大好きな『スチュワーデス物語』の主題歌ですね。歌っているのはご存知の麻倉未稀です。

あぁ 果てしなく拡がる世界に
たったひとつの 輝いた夢
あふれる涙 孤独に震える
生命かけて 生きてゆく

聞こえるのは Music
心の叫び
愛を求めて Fly away

What a feeling
Please believin'
身体じゅうに感じるリズム
Take your passion
And make it happen
痛いほど 強く抱きしめて

きらめくは Music
弾むJump&step
熱く燃える Love forever

What a feeling
Please believin'
身体じゅうに感じるリズム
Take your passion
And make it happen
痛いほど 強く抱きしめて

What a feeling

What a feeling
Please believin'
Picture come alive
You can dance right through You life

What a feeling
What a feeling
I can have it all
Have it all


麻倉未稀といえば他にも『スクールウォーズ』の主題歌である『ヒーロー』とかも歌ってますね。それにしても日本語歌詞はすごいなぁ。
