I've never been to me
メロディが美しく、ヴォーカルもいい雰囲気ですし、日本ではヒットした曲です。
ですが…。
本当のこの曲の内容を知っておられる方、あまりいないかも…。
この曲は、セクシャルマイノリティであったり、心にトラウマのある人によく歌われる曲です。
心理セラピストが、研究対象にしている、とも言われる内容。
海外ではすこぶる評判が悪い。
だが。一部の人々には好まれる。
そんな内容です。
I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME
私は英語をそのまま理解するので訳など必要ないのですが、もし参考になれば、と思い、こちらのサイトさまをご紹介いたします。
結婚が幸せ？家庭を持つことが幸せ？
いいえ。あなた自身を大切に。自分らしさを大切に。
自分の本来の姿で心を満たすことが、一番の幸せ…私もそんなことを考える一人です。
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
