For the king. For the land. For the mountains. For the green valleys where Dragons fly. For the glory the power to win the black load. I will search for the EMERALD SWORD.
>>20 Rhapsody さんはね、楽曲的には光るものがあるんだが残念なことに歌詞の表現力が追いついておらん。 わしは最初の二枚を持っておったんだが売っちまった。英語にのめり込むほど歌詞への評価基準が厳しくなってくるもんだ。 その反対に本当に良い詞はますますその良さが分かって来るからな、洋楽マニアは英語も勉強せなあかん。 ところで最後から二行目の black load は black lord だろう? ファビオ・リオーネの発音はイタリア訛があるが、あの過剰なまでにドラマティックな世界に見事に嵌まっておるから あまり気にならない。母国語で歌ったらかなり巧いシンガーだろう。
Awakened by an unquenchable addiction, To walk hand in hand with death, Exhumed to transcend the walls of the coffin, And search for newly rotted flesh... Casket crushing and dismantling the grave, With other fiends in this sadistic enclave, On draughts of blood my thirst is slaked, Underfoot the mouldy bones break... Nocturnal devestation my only aim, Dead or living, I seek out and maim, Six feet is the depth of my obsession, Adding masterpieces to my morbid collection... Corpses lay ripped limb from limb in disarray, A cadaveric splatter platter carved, hacked and flayed, Imbibing blood and alcohol 杯il vomit flows red, Then back to the grave for indignities to the dead... Necromaniac...

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town feel as though nobody cares if I live or die so I might as well begin to put some action in my life Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law So much for the golden future, I can't even start I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law You don't know what it's like Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law
We've taken too much for granted And all the time it had grown From techno seeds we first planted Evolved a mind of its own Marching in the streets Dragging iron feet Laser beaming hearts Ripping men apart From off I've seen my perfection Where we could do as we please In secrecy this infection Was spreading like a disease Hiding underground Knowing we'd be found Fearing for our lives Reaped by robot's scythes Metal Gods Metal Gods
Metal Gods Metal Gods Machines are taking all over With mankind in their command In time they'd like to discover How they can make their demand Better be the slaves To their wicked ways But meeting with our death Engulfed in molten breath
An angel’s smile is what you sell You promise me heaven, then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passion’s a prison, you can’t break free
You’re a loaded gun There’s nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done
Chorus: Shot through the heart And you’re to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy’s dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You’re a loaded gun There’s nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done
Up here in space I'm looking douwn on you My lasers trace Everything you do You think you've private lives Think nothing of the kind There is no true escape I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus You can't feel my stare I zoom into you You don't know I'm there I take a pride in probing all your secret moves My tearless retina takes picturs that can prove
CHORUS
Erectric eye, in the sky Feel my stare, always there There's nothing you can do about it Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows
>>86 これはですね、メタル魂のレトリックが中途半端にしか反映されておらん駄作ですよ。 まず Up here in space ってお前は何時から宇宙人になったんだってことよ。 My lasers trace は何かい、ロボコップのつもりか。 I'm made of metal My circuits gleam ここは宜しい。単純明快な雄々しさがあります。 I am perpetual I keep the country clean ここも大変宜しい。馬鹿っぽいながらもプリースとだからこそ出せる貫禄があります。 I'm elected electric spy つまらん言葉遊びです。 I take a pride in probing all your secret moves My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove この二行は寒い。人の生活に立ち入って誇りに感ずるなんて哲学部のストーカーかい? と思いきや写真部にも所属しておったか。 プリーストは初期の方が詞を大切にしておったんだがビッグになってからは名前だけで売れるもんだから手抜きが目立つようになった。
Sunset comes being aimlessly in the wind Face up myself I feel shy Blow my top and keep shouting out Count the days by the pain With anger welling up The road I ran through like mad
Hard and being lost in a night Pity myself for those sacrifices made Sold-out again and again On days I almost went down Can't help being vexed But try to live as hard as I can
CHORUS Oh road I pick was right I take the long way round Wounded body as I'm watching it I just can little smile again People who forgave me They make me strong Not in words Their eyes believed in me To get up again and again Those eyes give me power to fight
Blow my top and keep shouting out Count the days by the pain With anger welling up The road I ran through like mad Sold-out again and again On days I almost went down Can't help being vexed But try to live as hard as I can Things don't turn out as we always want Life ain't as bad as we sometime think Just as we want That's the way
CHORUS
The sky in the west I'm facing myself in slowly melting
The media is a tool designed to mold us into slaves Drugging us into an empty, apathetic daze. The trick is that we think that everything is going fine But the truth to our reality lies buried in the mind
I don't give a fuck about the Hollywood elite; I don't really care if models can't fucking eat. I don't give a fuck a fuck about which movie is on top. But what I really know is that the shit has got to stop.
Consumer appetites are never satisfied in full, ‘cause the objects that they buy can simply never fill the void. A constant need for meaning, and accumulating shit, drives the lust in their obsession just to get another fix.
I don't give a fuck about the TV ratings game, The Real World is not a party, just a place for the insane. If that reflects reality, then pass another drink You try to be a millionaire, I'll vomit in the sink.
What the fuck is left to try, on an avaricious nation on an economic high? If Rome could last 500 years, who then will throw the wrench inside our gears?
The bottom line is money on the Western power scene, where celebrities and porn can let the population dream. They're pathetic human living in an advertising glut, who devour with a passion what the mainstream vomits up
>>103 まったく不可解な英作文です。作詞は日本人で英訳したのが外人らしいのですが(>>109)、この外人は中国人ですか。 もとより奇妙奇天烈だった歌詞を律儀に直訳したのでしょう。英詩のリズムも何も無視した怪文書の傑作です。 Sunset comes being aimlessly in the wind 一行目から不自然なセンテンスです。 Face up myself I feel shy ここは笑うところですか? The road I ran through like mad 倒置文にする詩的必然性がありませんね。 Hard and being lost in a night 意味不明。in a night の "a" は "the" にしないと「一晩で」の意味になるけどそれでいいのか? Can't help being vexed メタルでこんな英文を書く奴がおるか。 I just can little smile again 副詞の位置も使用法も滅茶苦茶。こんなのは poetic license の埒外でしょう。 Life ain't as bad as we sometime think タイポかも知れませんが sometime(s) の s が抜けています。 I'm facing myself in slowly melting 文が完結しておりません。何が言いたいのか不明です。 兎にも角にも最初から最後まで謎に満ちております。

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake And the mists steal in with ease Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes In adoration of the moon and thee
"They call as I to thee...."
And I will come, as if in dream My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen Of vengeful, ancient breed Gilded with the pelts of many enemies Erishkigal, raven-haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I can taste thy scent by candlelight Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair Appease the beast on spattered sheets Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps
A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night And I have ridden from the westerning light To expend my lust Tear away the funereal dress Know that I will escape from my death Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress
Lo! The pale moonlight Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline Of mist and moth and the hunger inside Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise
"Through twilight, darkness and moonrise My scarlet tears will run As stolen blood and whispered love Of fantasies undone"
Countess swathed in ebony And snow-white balletic grace Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish For lust and her disgrace
"Dusk And Her Embrace" (3/3) We shall flit through the shadows Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow Under deadly nightshade Still warmed with the kill's afterglow
Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me (Beneath the stars taste the death in me) Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss To sever thin mortality
Elizabeth My heart is thine Thy fragrant words Warm within like wine....
"Let me come to thee With eyes like Asphodel Moon-glancing, loose desires free To writhe under my spell"
Ereshkigal, raven-haired Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair I know thy scent by candlelight Immortal flesh I yearn to share Appease the beast on spattered sheets Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps Nocternity She shall come for me....
Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus How the full embosomed fog Imparts the night to us....
Eder har gjort vaart rike raattent eder har gjort vaart gull rustent og Hammene fra de veldige sletter er alt vi har aa minnes fra verdig manns lid
Eder har bragt kvalmende lys i dragens hule eder har malf kors paa hammer og vi har siktet pilen paa menneskesinnens usle trone
Nemesis divina splinten i iyet paa jehova Nemesis divina kniven i hjertet paa guds sinn
Eder har bragt elsk til fiende Eder har gjort ravn til due Men def olme iyet er vendf mot eder og hevnens klokke ringer
Eder er vitnesbyrd om brente broer og glemte sanger Eder er barmhjertighetens fedre og milleniumspestens budbringere Dog skal en dag naa komme da eder barn i tre skal henge
Nemesis divina splinten i iyet paa jehova Nemesis divina kniven i hjertet paa guds sinn
For stridsmenn har naa hevet iksen og bespottelsens tegn er reist Nemesis divina - for straffen maa komme
It would take a world of executioners to see the need of henchmen in everyday life (the) credibility of the meek Stained with the juice of frustrated priests
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell I'm straightening sharks in heaven What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell We're straightening sharks in heaven
(when) All you take for granted is fake And all the angles are on the take Fear the silent majority When you hate, God can't see you
The sins you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell I'm straightening sharks in heaven What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell We're straightening sharks in heaven
>>201-202 素晴らしい回答を得ました。若干意見を述べさせて下さい。 二行目の the need は「必要性」の意味かと思われます。 つまり the need of henchmen で「忠実な部下の必要性」と解されると思います。 三行目ですが、これは新たに独立した文ではなく、二行目の頭 to see 〜 に掛かる文とも見えます。 すなわち、to see the credibility of the meek の to see が省略された形です。小文字で始まっているのはそのためでしょう。しかしやや微妙な所です。独立文として扱ってもよいかも知れません。 いずれにせよ英詞の翻訳は行間が大事です。前後の流れに目が行き届かず、誤訳をしている対訳をよく見かけます。読視野を拡げなければなりません。 一連目は確かに訳しにくいのですがこんな感じでどうでしょう。
英詞解釈のほうは私も似たり寄ったりです。 ただ、語り手 "I" が神を示唆するとすれば、 I'm straightening sharks in heaven We're straightening sharks in heaven と主語が I から We にシフトしているのはどう説明がつくのでしょう? 宗教上の神は単数ではない、あるいは angels も含めて We と言っているのかも知れません。
'Love, just don't stare' He used to say to me every Sunday morning The spider in the window The angel in the pool The old man takes the poison Now the widow makes the rules
'So speak, I'm right here' She used to say to me not a word, not a word Judas on the ceiling the Devil in my bed I guess Easter's never coming So I'll just wait inside my head
Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares
Voices repeating me 'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.' Voices discussing me 'Others steal your thoughts they're not confined within your mind.'
Thought disorder Dream control Now they read my mind on the radio But where was the Garden of Eden?
I feel elated I feel depressed Sex is death, Death is sex Says it right here on my Crucifix
Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares
Voices protecting me 'Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees.' Voices rejecting me 'Others steal your thoughts they're not confined to your own mind.'
[Dialogue by rap artist Prix-mo reading from the book "CulturalRevolution".] "I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my suffering, 'cause of my illness. Only love is worth having, only love is what matters, loving every people on equal terms. " "You've got to know who you're dealin' with because, like a stranger, a-heh, just might come in through here with a gun... and then, what would you do? (Heh.)" "Everything is immaterial..." "'n' you know that reality is immaterial." "This is not reality..."
I'm kneeling on the floor staring at the wall like the spider in the window I wish that I could speak Is there fantasy in refuge? God in politicians? Should I turn on my religion? These demons in my head tell me to
I'm lying here in bed Swear my skin is inside out Just another Sunday morning
Seen my diary on the newsstand Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand It's a shame no one is praying 'Cause these voices in my head keep saying...
'Love, just don't stare.' 'Reveal the Word when you're supposed to' Withdrawn and introverted Infectiously perverted 'Being laughed at and confused keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay.'
Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting Twentieth century Icon bleeding Willing to risk Salvation to escape from isolation
I'm witness to redemption heard you speak but never listened Can you rid me of my secrets? Deliver us from Darkness?
Voices repeating me 'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.' Voices discussing me Don't expect your own Messiah This neverworld which you desire is only in your mind.
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain The way that I want you to die Slow death, immense decay Showers that cleanse you of your life Forced in Like cattle You run Stripped of Your life’s worth Human mice, for the angel of death Four hundred thousand more to die Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Sadistic, surgeon of demise Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying, without mercy To benefit the aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia Fell the knife pierce you intensely Inferior, no use to mankind Strapped down screaming out to die Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Infamous butcher, Angel of death
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes Burning flesh, drips away Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil Frigid cold, cracks your limbs How long can you last In this frozen water burial? Sewn together, joining heads Just a matter of time ’til you rip yourselves apart Millions laid out in their Crowded tombs Sickening ways to achieve The holocaust Seas of blood, bury life Smell your death as it burns Deep inside of you Abacinate, eyes that bleed Praying for the end of Your wide awake nightmare Wings of pain, reach out for you His face of death staring down, Your blood running cold Injecting cells, dying eyes Feeding on the screams of The mutants he’s creating Pathetic harmless victims Left to die Rancid angel of death Flying free
Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all Your back's to the wall Chain the sun, and it tears away to face you as you run,you run, you run
Behind the smile, there's danger and a promise to be told You'll never get old ha! Life's fantasy To be locked away and still to think you're free You're free, we're free
So live for today Tomorrow never comes Die young, die young Can't you see the writing in the air Die young, I'm gonna die young Someone stopped the fate
>>223の曲は、完全にファンタジーな題材というわけではなくて、 私の解釈では、明日にでも死ぬことを運命づけられた人がその運命と対峙するさまを歌ってると思うのですが、 曲調とあいまって実に切迫感あふれていてかっこいい。 冒頭「Gather the wind」の直後に、それを裏切るように「though〜」が続くのが逆境感をかもし出してる。 Aメロの部分で紋切り型をできるだけ排している分、 サビの「Live for today/Tomorrow never comes」という常套句が活きてきていると思う。 最初のサビで突然クリーントーンになるのも好き。ベースラインもかっこいい。
