Eleventh Earl of Mar

最初この歌を聴いたとき
「お父さん、待っているよ」とか
「お父さん、行ってしまったの?行って行ってしまったの?」とか
「アールグレイの#11」なんて歌っているものだから
離婚して出て行ったお父さんが高価な紅茶を約束したのに
飲ましてくれなかったとグズっている歌かと思いました
Eleventh Earl of Marは英国史の教科書にとばされて出てこない皇帝だし
誰か訳せますか?

[Verse 1]
The sun had been up for a couple of hours
Covered the ground with a layer of gold
Spirits were high and the raining had stopped
The larder was low, But boy that wasn't all

[Refrain 1]
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Couldn't get them very far
Daddy! Oh Daddy, You Promised

[Verse 2]
Out on the road in the direction of Perth
Backwards and forwards in a circle they went
Found a city half open and ready to greet
Those conquering heroes, with blisters on their feet

[Refrain 2]
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Somehow got them all this far
Daddy! You Promised, You Promised

[Bridge 1]
See the Stewart all dressed up
He's got eyes in the back of his head
Who came in a cockleshell boat
That could only just float
Couldn't even lift a sword
Dressed too fine and smelling of wine

[Bridge 2]
Daddy you've got to go!
Here come the bishop all dressed up
He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay
One wave of his funny old stick
There's a band of light across your eyes

[Verse 3]
Waited a week still they hadn't appeared
That glorious timing that everyone feared
So they're riding along on the crest of a wave
They're headed for London, and that will be their grave

[Refrain 3]
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Well he couldn't get them down that far
Daddy! I'm waiting, I'm waiting

[Middle Eight]
Time to go to bed now
Never seems too keen
To be a guest now
In a house of dreams

Flying from a hillside
Beckoning the trees
A sailboat's awning
Mimicking the breeze

I'm fighting gravity falling
My Daddy won't let them get me
A voice screams seems to be calling
The face turns features are burning

[Bridge 3]
Daddy, you've got to go!
See the Fifteen going by
Tell the Lairds and the Lords
They're running backwards today
And once again you stand alone

[Verse 4]
Bury your memories bury your friends
Leave it alone for a year or two
Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true
Then do it again. Some Things never end

[Refrain 4]
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Won't be going very far
You Promised, You Promised, You Promised
DADDY!
