Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called yellow.
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know, you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cos you were all yellow,
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know for you,
Id bleed myself dry for you,
Id bleed myself dry.
Its true, look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do
Coldplay‐Yellow
英語のYellowにはいろいろな意味があります。
愛・平和・知性といった良いイメージと、
キリストを裏切ったユダの着衣の色から、
臆病・卑怯といった悪いイメージです。
歌詞の和訳でイエローの部分は二つの意味が捉えられるところがあり
「I(私)」の部分は臆病で「YOU(貴方)」の部分は愛が入ると思われます。
訳はほとんど直訳で伝わると思うので部分的に訳します。
意訳すると「君の為なら死んでも構わない」
もっというと「君の為ならなんでも出来る」
こんな感じです。
純粋なラブソングといったところでしょうか。
みなさんにとっての大事な人、大好きな人を思い描いて聞いてみてください。
