I've Never Been to MeHey lady, you lady, cursing at your lifeYou're a discontented mother and a regimented wifeI've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never doBut, I wish someone had talked to meLike I wanna talk to you.....Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could runI took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sunBut I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be freeI've been to paradise but I've never been to mePlease lady, please lady, don't just walk away'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone todayI can see so much of me still living in your eyesWon't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yachtI've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me[spoken]Hey, you know what paradise is?It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to beBut you know what truth is?It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morningThe same one you're going to make love with tonightThat's truth, that's love......Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be freeHey lady......I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)But I've never been to me瀬戸内寂聴の話題。先日した。みなさん関心がある作家らしくて、珍しく話題に交叉されたと驚いたものだが・・・この日本で有名なシャリーンの名曲とされているI've Never Been to Me という曲の作詞は、度胸がいいとしか思えない。彼女自身の体験が踏まえられているのかもしれない。彼女は、自分よりもずっと年上である。少なくともカラオケで、歌われている日本語訳の歌詞とは相当隔絶していると思う次第である。眼からうろこで、寝ぼけまなこが醒めた。↓よろしければ画像のクリックからシャリーンの歌唱へ
