☆マイ・ボーイ♪エルヴィス・プレスリー!(MY BOY / ELVIS PRESLEY)【映像付】LYRICS&MUSIC
☆クロード・フランソワのシャンソン『Parce que je t'aime mon enfant』をリチャード・ハリスに続いて大スター、エルヴィス・プレスリーも’75年に英語でカバーし全米20位まで押し上げこの曲の知名度を押し上げました。この英語盤『マイ・ボーイ』は、エルヴィスの後期の傑作とも言ってよく、彼のベスト盤でも選曲されることがあります。評論家の湯川れい子さんや小泉元首相がセレクトしたベスト盤にもこの曲が採用されていました。You're sleeping, son, I know But really this can't wait I wanted to explain before it gets too late For your mother and me, love has finally died This is no happy home, but God knows how I've tried Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy I know it's hard to understand Why did we ever stop We're more like strangers now Each acting out a part I have laughed, I have cried I have lost every game Taking all that I can take But I'll stay just the same Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Sleep on, you haven't heard a word Perhaps it's just as well Why spoil your little dreams Why put you through that hell Life is no fairy tale as one day you will know But now you're just a child I'll stay here and watch you grow Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (Repeat to fade...)
