Under The Mistletoe
歌詞:
[English]
Every time I look around this room
My eyes, they tend to fall on you
And I confess
Nothing but you makes sense
Memories fill my heart
And I can barely keep my tears from fallin'
Oh, I want your love
Do you ever think of us
Is it too late, too late
To open up
I'm dyin' to say
Oh, how I love you
You're walkin' towards me now
(What am I gonna say?)
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
All I want, hey, yeah
All I want, hey, hey, yeah
All I want, hey, yeah
Is under the mistletoe
Oh, everything I try
To keep you from gettin' inside
Works until I see your face
I linger, hopin' you might stay
Wrapped up in your arms
Is where I wanna spend my nights
So hard, how much I want you
Do you think of us?
How I want your love
Is it too late, too late
To let you know
I can't quite escape
How much I need you
You're walkin' towards me now
(What am I gonna say?)
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe
You're walkin' towards me now
Won't you read my mind somehow
Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe
No indecision, take a breath as I
Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there (standin' over there)
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe
'Cause all I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe (is under the mistletoe)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (all I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe
Push my pride aside, aside, aside
It's just you and I (it's just you and I)
All I want (I'm pushin' my pride aside, aside, aside)
All I want (baby, it's just you and I)
Is you (oh, it's only you)
Is you, oh

文法:
-
Every time I look around this room, My eyes, they tend to fall on you
➔ 主語と動詞の一致と、通常とは異なる主語の配置
➔ 「My eyes tend to fall on you」と言う代わりに、「My eyes, they tend to fall on you」と歌詞にあります。これは「my eyes」を強調するものであり、文法的に正しいですが、文体上の選択です。これは同格の一種です。「they」は「My eyes」を指しています。
-
Nothing but you makes sense
➔ 複合主語における主語と動詞の一致
➔ ここで、「Nothing but you」は単数主語として機能するため、単数動詞「makes」が必要です。このフレーズは、話しかけられている人だけが明快さや意味を提供することを強調しています。
-
Memories fill my heart, And I can barely keep my tears from fallin'
➔ 前置詞の後の動名詞の使用
➔ 動詞「fall」は前置詞「from」の後に動名詞「fallin'」の形になっています。I can barely keep my tears "from fallin'"
-
Wrapped up in your arms, Is where I wanna spend my nights
➔ 強調のための倒置文
➔ 通常の構造は次のようになります:「Where I wanna spend my nights is wrapped up in your arms。」それを「Wrapped up in your arms, Is where I wanna spend my nights」に反転させると、誰かの腕に包まれる感覚が強調されます。
-
So hard, how much I want you
➔ 感情的な強調のための省略
➔ この文は不完全です。より完全なバージョンは、「It's so hard to express how much I want you」のようになります。省略は、息切れ感と圧倒的な感情を生み出します。
-
Won't you read my mind somehow
➔ 要求における"won't"の使用
➔ "won't"は通常、未来の否定や拒否を表しますが、ここでは、要求を行うための、より強調的で感情的な方法として機能します。それは強い願望と絶望のヒントを意味します。
-
Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe
➔ 前置詞句を伴う句動詞
➔ 「Meet me in the middle」は句動詞であり、「underneath a little bit of mistletoe」は会合の場所を修飾する前置詞句です。
