Legalize It
歌詞:
[English]
Legalize it, don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Some call it tampee, tampee
Some call it the weed
Some call it marijuana, marijuana
Some of them call it ganja, ganja
Every man got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Singers smoke it
And players of instrument too
Legalize it, yeah, yeah
That's the best thing you can do
Doctors smoke it, nurses smoke it
Judges smoke it, even the lawyer too
So you've got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
It's good for the flu, a good for asthma
...
Good for tuberculosis, even umara composis
Got to legalize it, don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, I will advertise it
Birds eat it, ants love it
...
Fowls eat it, goats love to play with it
So you've got to legalize it, don't criticize it
...
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Keep on telling you, legalize it
...

文法:
-
Legalize it, don't criticize it
➔ 命令形
➔ 動詞の原形を使って、直接的な命令や指示を与えます。「Legalize」(合法化)と「don't criticize」(批判しない)はどちらも命令形です。
-
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
➔ 未来形 (will + 動詞の原形)
➔ "will"を使って、将来の意図や約束を表現します。「I "will" advertise it」(私はそれを宣伝します)は、話者が合法化を促進する意図を示しています。
-
Every man got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
➔ 'got to' (have got to) のインフォーマルな使用
➔ "Got to" は "have got to" のインフォーマルな言い方で、"have to" よりも強い意味を持ちます。義務や必要性を表します。ここでは、すべての人が合法化する義務があるという意味になります。
-
Singers smoke it And players of instrument too
➔ 省略
➔ 2番目の節の最後に「smoke」(吸う)という言葉が省略されています。「players of instrument」(楽器演奏者)もそれを吸うことが理解されます。これにより、簡潔でリズミカルな効果が生まれます。
-
It's good for the flu, a good for asthma
➔ インフォーマルな文法: 冠詞 'a' と動詞 'is' の省略
➔ この行は非常にインフォーマルな文法を使用しています。行は "It is good for the flu, it is good for asthma" であるべきです。単語 'it is' が省略されています。
