Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky 00:10

歌詞:

[English]

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

...

And I keep on fighting for the things I want

Though I know that when you're dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine

I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

And then the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come

Harder they fall, one and all

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

...

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

Hey, the harder they come

The harder they fall, one and all

...

文法:

  • Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky

    ➔ 間接話法

    ➔ 元の発言は「空にはパイがある」のようなものだったかもしれません。「they tell me of...」の構造は、誰かが言ったことを伝えています。

  • Waiting for me when I die

    ➔ 現在分詞の形容詞用法 / 関係代名詞の省略

    ➔ 「Waiting」は「pie」を修飾します。「that is waiting」の省略形です。

  • Between the day you're born and when you die

    ➔ 時を表す節(「when」を使用)

    ➔ 「When you die」は時間節を導入し、主節の時間枠を修飾し、特定の期間中に何かが起こることを示します。

  • They never seem to hear even your cry

    ➔ 「Seem」+不定詞

    ➔ 「Seem」の後に不定詞「to hear」が続きます。この構造は外見または印象を表します。「even」の使用は、注意の欠如を強調します。

  • So as sure as the sun will shine

    ➔ 仮定法第1種 (暗示)

    ➔ このフレーズは条件を暗示しています。「太陽が輝けば(それは確かだから輝くでしょう)、…」。これは、結果について確実性を表現する方法です。

  • I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine

    ➔ 「Gonna」(Going to) - インフォーマルな未来形 / 所有代名詞

    ➔ 「Gonna」は、「going to」のインフォーマルな短縮形であり、将来の意図に使用されます。「What's mine」は所有代名詞であり、「私に属するもの」を指します。

  • And then the harder they come, The harder they fall, one and all

    ➔ The…theの構文 (並行的な増減)

    ➔ この構造は、あるものが増加すると(誰かがどれほど強く来るか)、別のものも増加する(どれほど強く落ちるか)ことを表します。比例関係を示しています。

  • I'd rather be a free man in my grave

    ➔ 「Would rather」+「to」なしの原形

    ➔ 「Would rather」は優先順位を表します。その後に「to」なしの動詞の原形(be)が続きます。
