It's the thought of being young When your heart's just like a drum Beating louder with no way to guard it When it all seems like it's wrong Just sing along to Elton John And to that feeling, we're just getting started
When the nights get colder And the rhythms got you falling behind Just dream about that moment When you look yourself right in the eye, eye, eye Then you say
この部分は「Butter」の歌詞にも登場した、マイケル・ジャクソンの楽曲「Man in the Mirror」へのオマージュだと個人的に思います。
I wanna dance The music's got me going Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah Let's break our plans And live just like we're golden And roll in like we're dancing fools
We don't need to worry 'Cause when we fall, we know how to land Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight 'Cause we don't need permission to dance
fall は「転ぶ、落ちる」で land は「立つ、着地する」という意味。落ちても着地する方法がわかるから、心配しないでと言っています。日本語の「七転び八起き」を連想させる歌詞ですね。
talk the talkは「(話を話す→)口先だけを動かす」という意味。反対に walk the walk は「(歩行を歩く→)実際に行動する」という意味。ここでは今夜は話さなくていいから、実際にダンスしてみよう、という意味で使われています。
There's always something that's standing in the way But if you don't let it faze ya You'll know just how to break Just keep the right vibe, yeah 'Cause there's no looking back There ain't no one to prove We don't got this on lock (Yeah)
The wait is over(待つのは終わり)はコロナで何もできない日々が続いていたけど、それももう終わりにしよう、と解釈できるセリフです。
I wanna dance The music's got me going Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah Let's break our plans And live just like we're golden And roll in like we're dancing fools
We don't need to worry 'Cause when we fall, we know how to land Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight 'Cause we don't need permission to dance
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na Da-na-na-na-na-na-na Da-na-na-na-na-na-na No, we don't need permission to dance Da-na-na-na-na-na-na (Hey) Da-na-na-na-na-na-na Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
ダンスするのに誰かの許可は必要ないでしょ?
Well, let me show ya That we can keep the fire alive, mm 'Cause it's not over 'Til it's over, say it one more time Say
I wanna dance The music's got me going (Music's got me going) Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah (Hey, yeah) Let's break our plans And live just like we're golden (Ooh) And roll in like we're dancing fools (Like we're dancing fools)
We don't need to worry 'Cause when we fall, we know how to land (We know how to land) Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight (Ooh) 'Cause we don't need permission to dance
