1967年、ルイアームストロング(Louis Armstrong)が歌った、この素晴らしき世界(What a Wonderful World)。ルイアームストロングはサッチモ (Satchmo) の名でも知られる、アメリカのジャズミュージシャンです。 What a Wonderful Worldは、映画「グッドモーニング ベトナム」の挿入歌にもなり、日本では、ホンダシビックのCMや、ソフトバンクモバイルのCMに使用されていました。作詞作曲者の、G・ダグラス(Bob Thiele)は、ベトナム戦争を憂えた反戦歌として、この曲を書いたと言われています。
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom, for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do They're really saying, I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more Than I'll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world
One day, one night, one moment My dreams could be tomorrow One step, one fall, one falter East or west, over earth or by ocean One way to be my journey This way could be my book of days
Ó lá go lá, mo thuras An bealach fada romham Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras Na scéalta nach mbeidh a choích
No day, no night, no moment Can hold me back from trying I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter I'll find my day maybe Far and away Far and away
One day, one light, one moment With a dream to believe in One step, one fall, one falter And a new world across a wide ocean This way became my journey This day ends together Far and away
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
ノルウェーの音楽プロデューサーK-391とアランウォーカー、そして、オランダのDJ、Ahrixの、エンドオブタイム(End of Time)をカタカナにしました。 歌：クリスティン・カーペンター(Kristin Carpenter)＆ジュリア・カーソン(Julia Karlsson)。 アランウォーカーとK-391は、イグナイト(Ignite)で既に共作。Ahrixは、アランウォーカーが影響を受けたという人物で、Nova の作曲で知られています。この3人がタッグを組んで作り上げたのが、End of Time。浮遊感のある独特のサウンドと、詩的な音の連なりで、不思議な雰囲気を作り上げています。
When things are right Then you just know There is something in your eyes that brings me home Cause when there's love You don't let go So as long as you're with me You're not alone, you'll never be
I wanna tell you what I feel and really mean it I wanna shout it from the rooftops to the sky Cause if you ever need a friend you know I'll be it From tonight until we see the end of time
I'll cross my heart and hope to die We're always and forever I'll be by your side When days are dark and stars don't align We're always and forever 'til the end The end of time
When we look back and when we're old We'll see your footprints next to mine along the road And I don't know what the future holds But as long as you're with me You're not alone, you'll never be
I wanna tell you what I feel and really mean it I wanna shout it from the rooftops to the sky Cause if you ever need a friend you know I'll be it From tonight until we see the end of time
I'll cross my heart and hope to die We're always and forever I'll be by your side When days are dark and stars don't align We're always and forever 'til the end The end of time
Put your hands to the sky Always and forever by our side Always and forever 'til the end of time
I'll cross my heart and hope to die We're always and forever I'll be by your side When days are dark and stars don't align We're always and forever 'til the end The end of time
I wanna be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I wanna be the minority
I pledge allegiance To the underworld One nation under dog There of which I stand alone A face in the crowd Unsung against the mold Without a doubt, singled out The only way I know 'Cause
I wanna be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I wanna be the minority
Stepped out of the line Like a sheep runs from the herd Marching out of time To my own beat now The only way I know
One light, one mind Flashing in the dark Blinded by the silence Of a thousand broken hearts "For crying out loud," She screamed unto me A free-for-all, fuck 'em all "You are your own sight!"
Cause I wanna be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I wanna be the minority
One light, one mind Flashing in the dark Blinded by the silence Of a thousand broken hearts "For crying out loud," She screamed unto me A free-for-all, fuck 'em all "You are your own sight!" 'Cause
I wanna be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I wanna be the minority
I wanna be the minority I wanna be the minority I wanna be the minority I wanna be the minority
