THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT 「ギヤ・ブルーズ」 英詩

ギヤ・ブルーズの海外盤には英訳された歌詞が書かれているらしく、
探したらネットでいくつか見つけたんで、転載させてもらいました。
日本語だと言葉遊びな感じがしますけど、
英語になると違った印象で面白い。


“West Cabaret Drive”

My foot come up in the mud
And these never be sands
Smoke that comes from lung
Burning on damp temperature
Burning blues
Keep on rolling and rolling to dance
West cabaret drive



Flying over Mexico
The night right after the Canary typhoon passed by
Melting in the middle of the earth
I wonder where she's gone
Stumbled blues
Keep on rolling and rolling to dance
West cabaret drive West cabaret drive

Absorbed to west
Lying on a bonnet
I don't care
It doesn't matter
West cabaret drive West cabaret drive

Drag worn out suits
Scraped films blow because of short circuit
Half of violet sank
I can only remember is
The color of dawn
Yes I remember
Keep on rolling and rolling to dance
West cabaret drive West cabaret drive


“Smokin' Billy”

Tarred and make it hard
Tank wrecked
Then burst out
"Love is a kinda hater"

Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!

On the flip side eyes
Milk spilt and
Flown out
"Love is a kinda hater"

Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!

Burned and tarred
Left hand of a night drows
"Love is a kinda hater"

Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!

Smashed by tar
In deep throat
Spittied out
"Love is a kinda hater"
(I don't wanna go!)

Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!
Yeah! smokin' Billy!



“Dog Way”

The night nothing happens
Only I can hear is barking
Gibbering black permanent dober
Crash the dog way
dog way dog way dog way

Whitey diamond dog
Turquoise American dog
French poodle is too proud
Left the remains scattered dog way
dog way dog way dog way

Dog way where even dogs don’t know
Dog way where even stars don’t come up
Never even realized the blinks
Just keep crawling

dog way dog way dog way
