I Heard It Through The Grapevine
歌詞:
[English]
Mmm, I bet you're wondering how I knew
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (how?)
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us, girls, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about, just about, just about to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)
Baby, won't you listen to me?
Boy, take a good look at these tears of mine
Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold, hold outside
Losing you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me
You could've told me yourself
That you love somebody else
Instead, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)
Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, just about, just about, just about to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am (oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am, oh yes, I am)
Go, go-o-o-o-o, go
Go, I gotta go
Whoa-whoa, if you gonna let me go
Whoa-whoa-whoa, I gotta go
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, I heard
Say you believe half of what you see (yes, I heard it)
Oh, ho, and none of what you hear (yes, I heard it)
Baby, but I just can't help being confused (yes, I heard it)
If it's true, please, baby, won't you tell me, dear? (Yes, I heard it)
Oh, oh-oh, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that I heard it (heard it)
Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, I heard it (heard it)
Heard it (heard it-)

➔ 「wondering」(現在進行形)の使用は、思考や憶測が進行中であることを示しています。「How I knew」は、「wondering」の目的語として機能する間接疑問文です。語順は、間接疑問文内で平叙文の構造(主語-動詞)に変化します。

Not much longer would you be mine
➔ 強調のための倒置(条件)
➔ 通常の語順は「You would not be mine much longer」です。助動詞「would」と主語「you」を倒置すると強調が加わり、より劇的な効果が生まれます。これはより詩的または形式的に聞こえます。明示的に述べられていなくても、条件付きの状況を暗示することがよくあります。
-
Losing you would end my life, you see
➔ 動名詞を主語として('Losing')および条件付き('would end')
➔ 「Losing」は、文の主語として機能する動名詞(名詞として機能する動詞)です。「would end」は、条件付きの結果を表します。彼女が彼を失った場合、彼女の人生は終わります。
