Sailor Song
歌詞:
[English]
I saw her in the rightest way
Looking like Anne Hathaway
Laughing while she hit her pen
And coughed, and coughed
And then she came up to my knees
Begging, "Baby, would you please
Do the things you said you'd do
To me, to me?"
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
My mom says that she's worried, but I'm covered in this favor
And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
...
She took my fingers to her mouth
The kind of thing that makes you proud
That nothing else had ever
Worked out, worked out
And lately, I've tried other things
But nothing can capture the sting
Of the venom she's gonna
Spit out right now
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
I know that you've been worried, but you're dripping in my favor
And when we're getting dirty, I forget all that is wrong
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
I sleep so I can see you, and I hate to wait so long
And we can run away to the walls inside your house
I can be the cat, baby, you can be the mouse
And we can laugh off things that we know nothing about
We can go forever, until you wanna sit it out
...

➔ 仮定法 (混合型)、依頼のための過去形助動詞 ('would')、関係詞節
➔ この文は、丁寧な依頼をするために "would you please" を使用しています。"the things you said you'd do" という句は、「物事」を修飾する関係詞節です。"you'd do" は "you would do" の短縮形で、混合仮定法 (過去の仮定的な約束が現在に影響を与える) を形成しています。
-
Oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
➔ 否定疑問文, 直喩 (船員のように)
➔ "Won't you" は、要求をより強くまたは感情的にするために使用される否定的な付加疑問です。"Like a sailor" は直喩であり、彼女が愛されたい方法を、船員に関連付けられた典型的な情熱的で荒々しい愛と比較しています。
-
And when you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor?
➔ 間接疑問文, 直接疑問文の倒置
➔ "What's my flavor?" は、より大きな文に間接疑問文として組み込まれた直接疑問文です。"can you tell me + what's my flavor" という構造は、直接疑問文を動詞 "tell" の目的語として機能する節に変換します。
-
I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior
➔ 対比の接続詞 (but), 名詞節 ('that you're my savior')
➔ "But" は対照的なアイデアを紹介します。"That you're my savior" は名詞節で、動詞 "believe" の目的語として機能します。"That" は非公式な会話では省略できますが、ここでは文法的に正しいです。
-

➔ 伝達動詞, 対比の接続詞 (but), 受動態 (I'm covered)
➔ 「My mom says that she's worried」というフレーズは伝達動詞です。「that」という単語は、母親が言ったことの伝達された内容を紹介します。「I'm covered in this favor」は受動態を使用して、話者が好意の受取人であることを示しています。
-
I sleep so I can see you, 'cause I hate to wait so long
➔ 従属接続詞 (so, cause), 目的節, 程度副詞 (so long)
➔ "So" は、話者が眠る理由を説明する目的節を紹介します。"'Cause" (because の略) は、待つのが嫌いな理由を提供します。"So long" は程度の副詞として機能し、待つことに対する話者の嫌悪感を強めています。
