Billy Joel - Honestyを歌うには

高校の時に好きになったビリージョエル。今日は、オネスティーを聴きたくなって、ついでにYoutubeにあわせて歌っていました。そして今は、この動画を見ながら書いています。

40代、50代の男性が視聴者の80%とか。オネスティーをマスターするだけで、結構、英語の歌、発音がグッと上がる感じですね。

私は、歌詞が好きで、キーを変えて、いつか弾き語りをしてみたい曲の一つです。改めて日本語の歌詞の訳をみても、グッときます。

ちょっと絡むことのできる人、自分のことをチヤホヤしてくれる人はいるけど、本当に頼れる誠実な人は、なかなかいないんだ(君だけなんだよ)という感じが好きです。

Honesty.  By Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you're the only one that I depend on

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
