Big Girls Don't Cry / Fergie
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center of clarity
Peace, serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal: myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal: myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine Valentine
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center of clarity
Peace, serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal: myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
現在世界中で大ヒット中のファーギーのBig Girls Don't Cryの歌詞を紹介してみました。この曲は別れの歌と解釈していいのかな？サビの部分を訳してみると、「あなたには分かって欲しいの。それはあなたに何も関係がないということを。それは個人的なこと。私自身と私の。毛布を恋しく思う子供のようにあなたが恋しい。でも、私は急がなければならないの。今大人にならないといけない。大人は泣かないもの。」
Big Girls＝大人って訳してみましたが、どうなんでしょうか？ファーギーのイメージにはない曲でしたから、びっくりしましたけど、歌詞もなかなかよくて、曲も物凄い魅力的なものですし、大ヒットしてるのはよく分かりますね。
