洋楽の歌詞を和訳するよ

John Lennon 『Woman Is The Nigger Of The World』和訳

 

Woman is the nigger of the world

女はこの世界のニガーだ *1

Yes she is, think about it

そうだろ どう思うんだ

Woman is the nigger of the world

女はこの世界のニガーだ

Think about it, do something about it

どう思うんだ どうしたいんだ

 

We make her paint her face and dance

僕らが彼女に化粧や作り笑いやダンスをさせる

If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us

彼女が奴隷にならないと

僕らは愛想のない奴だと言う

If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man

彼女が自分に正直だと

僕らは女を捨てていると言う

While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us

彼女を踏みにじりながら

僕らは彼女を褒めているふりをする

 

Woman is the nigger of the world

女はこの世界のニガーだ

Yes, she is

そうだろ

If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

もし信じられないなら

君のそばにいる人を見てみろよ

Woman is the slave of the slaves

女は奴隷どもの奴隷だ

Ah, yeah, better scream about it

黙ってなんかいられないだろ

 

We make her bear and raise our children

僕らは彼女を我慢させ子どもの世話をさせ

And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen

彼女が太って歳を取ると見向きもしなくなる

We tell her home is the only place she should be

僕らは女は家庭を守るべきだと言い

Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

女は世間知らずだと見下して文句を言う

 

Oh, woman is the nigger of the world

女はこの世界のニガーだ

Yes she is

そうだろ

If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

もし信じられないなら

君のそばにいる人を見てみろよ

Woman is the slave to the slaves

女は奴隷どもの奴隷だ

Yeah, alright, hit it!

その通りだろ

 

We insult her every day on TV

僕らは彼女をテレビで毎日馬鹿にして

And wonder why she has no guts or confidence

彼女には自信や向上心がないと不思議がる

When she's young, we kill her will to be free

彼女が若いときは僕らが彼女の意志を潰す

While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb

彼女にあまり賢くなるなと言い

彼女を押さえつけて口を塞ぐ

 

Well, woman is the nigger of the world

女はこの世界のニガーだ

Yes, she is

そうだろ

If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

もし信じられないなら

君のそばにいる人を見てみろよ

Woman is the slave to the slaves

女は奴隷どもの奴隷だ

Yes, she is

そうだろ

If you believe me, better scream about it

君もそう思うなら 黙ってなんかいられないだろ

 

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

僕らが化粧や作り笑いやダンスをさせてるんだ
