久しぶりの動画アップになりました♪
今回は、MONGOL800の「小さな恋のうた」を英語で歌ってみました。この曲の英語バージョンはいくつか存在しますが、自分流で挑戦したいと思い、韻を踏みながらできるだけ直訳に近い英訳を作ってみました（いつものように！）。Enjoy! 良いお年を~
（キーは半音下げでG（つまりG♭）です）
Hello everyone, it's me again! This is an English cover of the very well-known "Chiisa na koi no uta" (Little Love Song) by Japanese band MONGOL800. While a few English covers of this song already exist, I tried to give it my own treatment, which is to translate songs as directly as I can while maintaining a rhyme scheme. Hope you enjoy, and happy new year!
(The key is G tuned 1 half-step down; i.e. G♭)

歌詞／LYRICS
～♪～♪～♪～♪～♪～
Somewhere on this big blue world that we call the planet Earth
One of countless shining stars in the spacious universe
A little love song rings out over waters deep and blue
To the island where you are to convey my love for you
Since the fateful day we met, many days and nights have passed
With the stack of love letters sent between us growing fast
And our love sometimes intense, sometimes cause for painful sighs
Echoes clearly between us and expands before our eyes
‘Til it reaches far and wide, ‘cross the seas it can be heard
Just a gentle melody strong enough to change the world
*Hey now, the more you love someone
The closer they will be to you
So I’ll be there within your soul
And I am singing loud and strong
Hoping my words will reach you
So ring out, little love song
Hey now... hey now... hey now....
So ring out, my little love song
As we’re walking side by side, you notice the moon above
Shining even in the dark as it lights the way for us
I will take your hand in mine, and I’ll never let it go
As I fiercely promise you all my love forever more
In the ever after I will repeat the same refrain
Yes, I know within my heart that I’ll always feel the same
But that will not be enough, so my words will turn to tears
And those tears will turn to joy, ‘til I lose the words I need
And just hold you close to me, I’ll just hold you close you me
*Repeat
If I’m dreaming, don’t ever wake me up
If I’m dreaming, don’t ever wake me up
All the time we spend together will forever shine as bright
As a star in the night
