歌詞:

[English]

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Poor, poor me, Israelites (ah-ah)

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Poor, poor me, the Israelite

My wife and my kids, they packed up and a-leave me

Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"

Poor, poor me, the Israelite

Shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone

I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

Poor me, the Israelite

After a storm, there must be a calm

They catch me in the farm

You sound your alarm

Poor, poor me, Israelites, hey

I said I get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Poor, poor me, Israelites, ah

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me

Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"

Poor, poor me, Israelites, ah

Look, shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone

I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

Poor a-poor me, Israelites, ah

After a storm, there must be a calm

They catch me in the farm, you sound your alarm

Poor, poor me, Israelites, hey-hey-hey

Poor, poor me, Israelites

Dem a wonder we not working so hard

Poor, poor me, Israelites

文法:

  • Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir

    ➔ 現在分詞の形容詞/副詞的用法

    "Slaving"は現在分詞で副詞的に働き、朝どのように起きるかを説明しています。パンのために苦労しながら起きるという意味です。これは同時進行の動作を示しています。

  • So that every mouth can be fed

    ➔ "so that"を使った目的の従属節

    "So that"は行動の目的を表す節を紹介します。この場合、苦労する目的は「すべての人が食べられるように」です。

  • My wife and my kids, they packed up and a-leave me

    ➔ 非標準英語:現在完了形の"have"の省略と"a-"接頭辞(方言)

    ➔ 標準英語では「My wife and my kids, they *have* packed up and *have* left me.」となります。 "leave"の前の"a-"は方言で、おそらくジャマイカのパトワで、継続的な側面を示しています( "are leaving"と同様)。

  • Darling, she said, "I was yours to receive"

    ➔ 間接引用における過去形の受動態 / 伝達文

    ➔ 元の発言は「I am yours to receive」だったでしょう。伝達文では、時制が過去に戻ります。受動態の構造は、彼女が受け取るべき対象であり、行為者ではないことを強調しています。

  • Shirt, them a-tear up, trousers are gone

    ➔ 非標準英語:コピュラの省略("is/are")、トピック化、"a-"接頭辞(方言)

    ➔ 標準英語:「My shirt, it is being torn up; my trousers are gone.」トピック化:「Shirt」は強調のために文頭に置かれています。 「tear」の前の「a-」は以前と同じ方言の特徴であり、進行中の側面を示唆しています。彼らは引き裂かれる過程にあります。

  • I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde

    ➔ "want"に続く目的の不定詞

    "To end up like Bonnie and Clyde"は、彼がなぜ何かを望まないのかを説明しています。それは彼が避けたい目的を表しています。 "Want"は、望ましい行動または状態を表すために、不定詞が続くことがよくあります。

  • After a storm, there must be a calm

    ➔ 確実性/必要性(哲学的)を表す助動詞 "must"

    ➔ ここで、「must」は厳格な義務ではなく、嵐の後には必ず穏やかさが訪れるという強い信念または期待を伝えています。これは一般的な真実または原則の声明です。
