歌詞:

[English]

Country music singers

Have always been a real close family

But lately some of my kinfolks

Have disowned a few others and me

I guess it's because

I kinda changed my direction

Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition

They get on me and want to know

Hank, why do you drink?

Hank, why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Over and over

Everybody makes my prediction

So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on

An old family tradition

I am very proud

Of my daddy's name

Although his kind of music

And mine ain't exactly the same

Stop and think it over

Put yourself in my position

If I get stoned and sing all night long

It's a family tradition

So don't ask me

Hank, why do you drink?

Hank, why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

If I'm down in a honky-tonk

And some ole slick's trying to give me friction

I'll say leave me alone

I'm singing all night long

It's a family tradition

...

Lordy, I have loved some ladies

And I have loved Jim Beam

And they both tried to kill me in 1973

When that doctor asked me

"Son, how did you get in this condition?"

I said, "Hey, Sawbones

I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition"

So don't ask me

Hank, why do you drink?

Hank, why do roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Stop and think it over

Try to put yourself in my unique position

If I get stoned and sing all night long

It's a family tradition

...

文法:

  • Have always been a real close family

    ➔ 現在完了進行形(非公式)

    ➔ 厳密には現在完了*単純形*(have been)ですが、この用法は継続的な状態を示唆しています。「Always」は期間を強調しています。非常に非公式な状況では、人々は補助動詞の一部を省略して短縮することがあります。

  • Some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me

    ➔ 現在完了形; 代名詞「me」が「disowned」の目的語

    ➔ *現在完了形* (have disowned) は、過去に始まり、現在に関連する行為を示しています。「me」は動詞「disowned」の*目的語*であるため使用されます。ここでは「I」の代わりに「me」を使用するのが正しい用法です。

  • I guess it's because I kinda changed my direction

    ➔ 短縮形(「it's」); 「kinda」(「kind of」の非公式な短縮形)

    ➔ 「it's」は「it is」の*短縮形*です。「kinda」は「kind of」の*非公式な短縮形*であり、ステートメントを和らげるために使用されます。

  • Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition

    ➔ 非公式な動詞構造(「went and broke」)

    ➔ 「Went and broke」は、アメリカ南部英語でよく使用される*口語表現*です。これは基本的に「broke」を意味しますが、衝動的または断固とした行動を示唆する強調が加えられています。「Went and」は、彼が伝統を破っただけでなく、意図的にまたは決定的にそれを行ったことを意味します。

  • Hank, why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?

    ➔ 疑問文; 助動詞「do」の使用

    ➔ これらは現在形の*疑問文*です。現在形では、ほとんどの動詞で質問を作成するには*助動詞*「do」が必要です。

  • Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

    ➔ 助動詞「must」; 関係詞句(「that you wrote」)

    ➔ 「Must」は*義務または必要性*を表します。「That you wrote」は「the songs」を修飾する*関係詞句*であり、それらに関する詳細情報を提供します。

  • Everybody makes my prediction

    ➔ 単純現在形、集合名詞/代名詞が主語

    ➔ 「Everybody」は、この文では*単数代名詞*として機能するため、動詞「makes」は三人称単数形です。これは、文が集合全体を指しているためです。

  • If I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition

    ➔ 条件文(1型); 単純現在形/単純未来形(短縮形あり)

    ➔ これは*条件文の1型*です。「if」句(If I get stoned)は単純現在形であり、主句(I'm just carrying on...)は単純未来形(「I'm」に短縮)です。
