Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place 00:05
Where the caravan camels roam 00:13
Where you wander among every culture and tongue 00:15
It's chaotic, but, hey, it's home 00:20
When the wind's from the East 00:24
And the sun's from the West 00:26
And the sand in the glass is right 00:28
Come on down, stop on by 00:31
Hop a carpet and fly 00:33
To another Arabian night 00:36
As you wind through the streets 00:39

At the fabled bazaars 01:01
With the cardamom-cluttered stalls 01:03
You can smell every spice 01:06
While you haggle the price 01:09
Of the silks and the satin shawls 01:10
Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze 01:13

In a lot of good ways 01:41
Arabian nights 01:43

歌詞:

[English]

Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place

Where the caravan camels roam

Where you wander among every culture and tongue

It's chaotic, but, hey, it's home

When the wind's from the East

And the sun's from the West

And the sand in the glass is right

Come on down, stop on by

Hop a carpet and fly

To another Arabian night

As you wind through the streets

...

At the fabled bazaars

With the cardamom-cluttered stalls

You can smell every spice

While you haggle the price

Of the silks and the satin shawls

Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze

In the haze of your pure delight

You are caught in a dance

You are lost in the trance

Of another Arabian night

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

More often than not are hotter than hot

In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights

Like Arabian dreams

This mystical land of magic and sand

Is more than it seems

There's a road that may lead you

To good or to greed through

The power your wishing commands

Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold

Well, your destiny lies in your hands

Only one may enter here

One whose worth lies far within

A diamond in the rough

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

They seem to excite, take off and take flight

To shock and amaze

Arabian nights

'Neath Arabian moons

A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard

Out there on the dunes

...

文法:

  • Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place

    ➔ 提案・招待の命令形

    ➔ 「imagine」という単語は命令形として使用されており、聞き手に場面を検討または視覚化するよう促しています。文法的には命令ですが、提案や誘いとして機能します。

  • Where the caravan camels roam

    ➔ "where" を使用した関係詞節

    "where" は、"a faraway place" を修飾する関係詞節を導入します。キャラバンのラクダが歩き回る場所であるという、場所の特徴を特定します。

  • When the wind's from the East

    ➔ 省略 (「is」の省略)

    ➔ 「the wind's」というフレーズは、「the wind is」の短縮形です。動詞「is」は、簡潔さとリズムのために、口語や歌の歌詞で省略されることがよくあります。

  • More often than not are hotter than hot

    ➔ 主語と動詞の倒置 (非標準)

    ➔ 標準的な語順は「Arabian nights are more often than not hotter than hot」となります。倒置は熱の強さを強調します。これは、文法的に型破りであっても、詩や歌でスタイルの効果を出すためによく行われます。

  • This mystical land of magic and sand Is more than it seems

    ➔ 複合名詞句による主語と動詞の一致

    "This mystical land of magic and sand" は単数主語として機能します。複数の要素 (魔法と砂) が含まれていますが、フレーズ全体は 1 つのものと見なされるため、単数動詞 "is" が使用されます。

  • There's a road that may lead you To good or to greed through The power your wishing commands

    ➔ 可能性を表す助動詞 "may", "that" を使用した関係詞節, 手段を表す前置詞 "through".

    "May" は、道が善か貪欲につながる可能性を示唆するもので、確実性を示すものではありません。「That may lead you」は道を定義する関係詞節です。「Through the power...」は結果が決定される手段を示します。

  • A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard

    ➔ "if" が暗示された条件文, 助動詞 "could"

    ➔ この文は「If a fool is off his guard, he could fall and fall hard.」を意味します。 「Could」は可能性または潜在的な結果を示します。
