#洋楽部コンサート2025年6月
遅くなりました。🙇
古い時代のポップ・バラードです。
ご存知の方はあまりおられないと思いますが、私が洋楽を聴き始めた頃に買った、
ポップス20というカセットテープに入っていた1973年の曲です。
アルバート・ハモンドさんという人が歌ってました。
落ち葉のコンチェルト、という邦題。
ですが、実は秋の歌でもなんでもない。
落ち葉なんて関係ないんです。
そして、原題は「For the peace of all mankind」。直訳すると全人類の平和のために!となりますが、これまた、そういったメッセージを込めたのではないそうです。これは、ちょっと残念😂
二番のサビで声がひっくり返っているようなとこがありますが、これはオリジナル通りに歌ってみたつもりです💦
以下、歌詞です。
For the peace of all mankind
You turned me on
So bad that there was only one thing on my mind
An overnight affair was needed at the time
Hello, goodbye
No searching questions, that was clearly understood
But how was I to know that you would be so good?
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away? Will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?
Too much too soon
Too bad it didn't hit me 'til a week had passed
I might have saved the day if I had acted fast
I looked around
In case you'd scribbled down the number secretly
But all you left were fingerprints and memories
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away? Will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?
For the peace, for the peace
For the peace of all mankind
Will you go away? Will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
And let everything be as it was before?
Da-di-da, da-da-di, da-da-di-di-di-di-di
Will you go away? Will you go away?
Will you vanish from my mind?
Will you go away and close the bedroom door
