Day Of The Locusts
せみの鳴く日

Words and Music by Bob Dylan 1970,1976 Big Sky Music
管理人の訳

Oh, the benches were stained with tears and perspiration,
The birdies were flying from tree to tree.
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree.
And the locusts sang off in the distance,
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance,
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me.

ベンチは涙と汗が染みついている
鳥は飛ぶ、木から木へ
言うべき事はない、会話もない
学位証を受けとるため檀上に上がった時には
セミが鳴いた、遠くの方で
セミが鳴いた、とても素敵なメロディで
セミが鳴いた、遠くの方で
セミが鳴いた、私のために鳴いていた

I glanced into the chamber where the judges were talking,
Darkness was everywhere, it smelled like a tomb.
I was ready to leave, I was already walkin',
But the next time I looked there was light in the room.
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill,
Oh, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
Oh, the locusts sang their high whining trill,
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me.

部屋を覗き込んだ、審査員たちが話してた
どこも真っ暗で、墓のにおいがした
私は去ろうとした、すでに歩き出していた
でも、次に見た時には部屋に灯りがともっていた
そして、セミが鳴いた、冷やりとしたよ
セミが鳴いた、とても素敵なメロディで
セミが鳴いた、甲高い声で
セミが鳴いた、私のために鳴いていた

Outside of the gates the trucks were unloadin',
The weather was hot, a-nearly 90 degrees.
The man standin' next to me, his head was exploding,
Well, I was prayin' the pieces wouldn't fall on me.
Yeah, the locusts sang off in the distance,
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance,
And the locusts sang and they were singing for me.

門の外ではトラックが荷をおろしていた
天気は熱く、約90゚F
隣に立っていた男の頭は爆発寸前
その破片が飛んで来ないようにって祈ってたよ
セミが鳴いた、遠くの方で
セミが鳴いた、とても素敵なメロディで
セミが鳴いた、遠くの方で
セミが鳴いた、私のために鳴いていた

I put down my robe, picked up my diploma,
Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive,
Straight for the hills, the black hills of Dakota,
Sure was glad to get out of there alive.
And the locusts sang, well, it give me a chill,
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
And the locusts sang with a high whinin' trill,
Yeah, the locusts sang and they was singing for me,
Singing for me, well, singing for me.

私は礼服を脱ぎ、学位証を持ち
恋人の手をとって、ドライブに出かけた
丘までまっすぐに、ダコタ州の黒い丘まで
生きたまま抜け出せて、本当に嬉しかったよ
そして、セミが鳴いた、冷やりとしたよ
セミが鳴いた、とても素敵なメロディで
セミが鳴いた、甲高い声で
セミが鳴いた、私のために鳴いていた
私のため、そう、私のために鳴いていた
