【オススメ発音練習曲】 What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction (2011)

[Verse 1]

You’re insecure
Don’t know what for
You’re turning heads when you walk through the door
Don’t need make-up, to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

[Verse 2]

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus 1]

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful

(1) it ain't [it eint]  先行する ground に続けて、[graundi - tein(t) hɑ:rd]という感じの発音になる。 teinはキュッと短めに。

[Chorus 2]

If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful, oh oh
That’s what makes you beautiful

(1) 本曲の難所。desperately [ˈdespərətli] は、発音記号上はtがあるが、辞書（OLAD）の音声でもflap-Tしてtがl化する。desperal - ly  と発音する単語。
(2) what [wʌ]でよく、tは言わなくてよい。それよりも、ts - w の子音移動がポイント。ｗ音の口の形でts音を出せばよい。日常的な言い回しにThat's what I am talking about. があるように、本曲はまだ遅いほうだ。

[Verse 3]

So come on, you got it wrong
To prove I’m right, I put it in a song
I don’t know why, you’re being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes

(1) I put it は、flap-Tして、[ai - pulit] になる。  

[Verse 2]

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus 1]

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the groundit ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful

[Chorus 2]

If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful, oh oh
That’s what makes you beautiful

[Bridge 1]

Na na na na …

[Chorus 1]

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the groundit ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful

[Chorus 1]

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the groundit ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful

[Chorus 2]

If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful, oh oh
You don’t know you’re beautiful, oh oh
That’s what makes you beautiful
