先日SNSで偶然流れてきた「This is Me』という曲。
『The Greatest Showman』という映画の挿入歌です。
誰に何と言われようとも、どれだけ傷つこうとも、
自分はありのままで自分でいいのだ、これが私だ!という力強いメッセージソング。
この曲を歌う人たちのパワーに一瞬で心奪われ、先日ついに映画の本編を観て来ました^^
元々ミュージカル映画は大好きなのですが、
ムーラン・ルージュに引けを取らないぐらい最初から最後までずっと心躍る映画だったなと思います。
たぶん、あと数回は観るんじゃないかな(笑)
映画の内容はあえて触れませんが、、一言だけ。
「おれはお前と出会って地位も名誉も失って、愛と友情と誇りある仕事だけが残った。ありがとう。」という台詞があるのですが、僕はそのシーンに一番グッと来ました。そんな風に生きていきたいな。
そして映画のエンドロールに主人公であるバーナムの言葉の引用が流れます。
” The Noblest Art is That of Making Others Happy ”
タイトルにもしましたが、この英文、ちゃんと訳せますか?(笑)
「至高の芸術とは、観る者を幸せにするものである」という訳になります。
この言葉を観て、シンカライナーは芸術ではないかもしれないけど、
生徒、保護者、講師、この塾に関わる全ての人が、
夢膨らませ、心躍らせ、幸せになるような、そんな場所にしよう!と改めて思いました。
This is me の歌詞はこちら。和訳に挑戦してみてね!
I’m not a stranger to the dark
“Hide away, ” they say
“‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts”
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
“Run away, ” they say
“No one will love you as you are”
“Hide away, ” they say
“‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts”
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
“Run away, ” they say
“No one will love you as you are”
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away ‘cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become
Well, fire away ‘cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become
I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious!
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious!
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And I know that I deserve your love
Oh-oh-oh-oh
‘Cause there’s nothing I’m not worthy of
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
And I know that I deserve your love
Oh-oh-oh-oh
‘Cause there’s nothing I’m not worthy of
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I’m meant to be, this is me
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come (look out ‘cause here I come)
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
whenever the world’s gone
Whenever the world’s gone
In the depths of my heart
Oh, oh, oh, this is me
Whenever the world’s gone
In the depths of my heart
Oh, oh, oh, this is me
