Sk8er Boi / Avril Lavigne

洋楽コーナーです。
今回は2回目登場のAvril Lavigne。
Avril Lavigneは最近の曲ながら発音がしっかりしていて
歌詞が聞きやすく、英語学習としても使えると思います。
ノリが良いから、何回聞いても飽きませんしね!

この歌は2002年ごろのリリースですが、今でも
若い女性向けの服屋さんで、結構流れたりしています。

歌詞です!ストーリーが出来上がっているので、
理解すると、またこの歌が好きになるかもしれません。

he was a boy she was a girl
can i make it anymore obvious!

He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she’d never tell
secretly she wanted him as well

But all of her friends, stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes…

He was a skater boy
She said “see ya later boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she’s all alone

She turns on T.V., guess who she sees
Skater boy rocking up MTV

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they’ve all got tickets to see his show

she tags along, stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said “see ya later boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
Now he’s a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what his worth?
He was a skater boy
She said “see ya later boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
Now he’s a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Did your pretty face see what he’s worth?(hold out)

Sorry girl, but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy’s mine now

We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn’t see
See the man that boy could be

There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He’s just a boy and I’m just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love, haven’t you heard
How we rock each others world!

I’m with the skater boy
I said “see ya later boy”
I’ll be backstage after the show
I’ll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl he used to know.

I’m with the skater boy
I said “see ya later boy”
I’ll be backstage after the show
I’ll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About the girl he used to know.

実はこの歌、shとsが結構出てきます。
その区別がしっかり聞き取れるので、練習になるんですよね。
guess who she seesのとことか顕著にわかりますよ!

一応、単語チェックをしておきましょう。
punk / ちんぴら
ballet / バレエ
stuck up / うぬぼれている
baggy / だぶだぶの
tag along / 付いていく・連れ添う
Slammin / (slam)叩きつける
Tough luck / 不運⇒おあいにくさま!

時制もちゃんと理解して、意味を追ったほうがいいですね。
歌詞がわかると、この曲ホント面白いと思います。
意外とキツイ歌詞ですが、ある意味心に染みる歌詞でもあります。
