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-)

文法:

  • I bet you're wondering how I knew

    ➔ 間接疑問文の現在進行形

    ➔ 「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。

  • 'bout your plans to make me blue

    ➔ 目的の不定詞('to make')

    ➔ 不定詞句「to make me blue」は、「plans」の目的を説明します。計画が*なぜ*存在するのかを明確にします。

  • 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。

  • You could've told me yourself

    ➔ 失われた機会の助動詞('could have')

    ➔ 「Could've told」(could have told)は、その人が彼女に伝える能力または可能性を持っていたが、そうしなかったことを示します。それは、逃した機会についての後悔または失望を表現します。
