I Love Rock 'n' Roll
歌詞:
[English]
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must've been about 17
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'Cause it's all the same"
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
...
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on and singin' that same old song
Yeah, with me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

文法:
-
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
➔ 知覚動詞の後の動名詞(see, hear, watch)
➔ 動詞 "saw" ("see" の過去形)の後に "dancin'" (dancing)が続いています。これは動詞 "dance" の動名詞形です。この構造は、目撃されたダンスという進行中の動作を強調します。
-
I knew he must've been about 17
➔ 助動詞 "must" + "have been" (過去についての推測)
➔ "Must have been" は過去の状況についての強い推測を表します。話者は、その人がおよそ17歳であったと確信しています。
-
Playin' my favorite song
➔ 説明的な形容詞として機能する現在分詞
➔ "Playin'" (playing) は "song" を修飾し、現在再生中の曲として説明しています。形容詞のように機能します。
-
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
➔ 過去の未来 (would)
➔ "Wouldn't be" は、過去のある時点(話し手がその人を見たとき)から見た未来の出来事を表します。「Could tell」は過去の視点を確立します。
-
'Til he was with me
➔ 省略("until" の省略)
➔ "'Til" は "until" の短縮形です。インフォーマルな会話や歌詞では、簡潔さとよりカジュアルなトーンのために "un" が省略されることがよくあります。
-
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
➔ 命令文 (命令または要求をする)
➔ 文は動詞 "put" で始まり、直接的な命令または強い要求を示しています。主語 "you" は省略されています。
-
That don't matter
➔ 非標準文法:二重否定(インフォーマルなスピーチ)
➔ 標準的な英語では、"That doesn't matter" となるはずです。 "don't" を "that" と共に使用するのは文法的に誤りですが、インフォーマルな会話や方言では一般的です。
