ビギン・ザ・ビギン(踊るニュウ・ヨーク)

Qu′elle est divine la biguine!
De ses doux accents mon cœur se fascine
Elle va chantant perverse et câline 注1
Mêlant jusqu'au jour la danse et l′amour!
なんて素敵なの、ビギンは！
その甘い調べに私の心は魅せられる
ビギンは倒錯的にそして甘美に歌い続ける
朝までダンスと恋を混ぜ合わせながら！
Divine biguine2
Nos soirs d'autrefois sous les tropiques
Au son de sa voix s'évoquent magiques
Et je les revois plus magnifiques
Qu′elle est divine la biguine
かつて私たちが常夏の国々で過ごした夜が
ビギンの歌声で魔力をもってよみがえり
そして私にはそれらは以前よりすばらしいものとなる
なんて素敵なの、ビギンは！
Sur ses heureux bords, je l′avais connu 注2
Et l'amour alors était venu...
Ah! les beaux jours! ah! les chères caresses
La douce promesse d′aimer toujours!
常夏の楽園の国々で、私は彼を知った
そしてそのとき恋がやって来たのだった...
ああ！美しい日々！ああ！いとおしい愛撫
ずっと愛するという甘い約束！
Divine biguine3
Qu'elle était divine la folle biguine!...
Mais soudain l′azur s'obscurcit de sombres nuages
Et notre amour fût englouti dans un brusque orage!
Et tout fut fini, bien fini!
なんて素敵だったのかしら、狂ったビギンは！...
でも突如、青空は暗い雲に覆い隠された
そして私たちの恋は突然の嵐に飲み込まれた！
すべてが終わった、終わってしまった！
Ah ne jouez plus pour moi la biguine!
Car de ce qui fut, autrefois, tout n′est que ruines
Ce qui fut un beau feu si tendre n'est plus que cendres
Jouez, en sourdine, la biguine! 注3
ああもう私にビギンを奏でないで！
だって、かつてあったものは、すべて残骸でしかなくて
とても優しい美しい炎だったものは灰でしかないのだから
演奏して、控えめに、ビギンを！
Et pourtant peut-être qu'aux accents si touchants 注4
De cet air de jadis de nos regrets se grisent
Tu te sentiras tout à coup l′âme reprise
Chantant dans un frisson, l′ancienne chanson
Qu'elle est divine la biguine
Qu′elle est divine la biguine
Qu'elle est divine la biguine!
でもたぶん古くからのこの曲のとても心を打つ調べに
私たちの懐古の想いが陶酔するのか
あなたは突然、魂がよみがえるのを感じるでしょう
身を震わせて、古い歌を歌いながら
なんて素敵なの、ビギンは
なんて素敵なの、ビギンは
なんて素敵なの、ビギンは！

Begin the Beguine

How divine the beguine is!
My heart is captivated by its sweet accents
It sings on, perverse and tender
Mixing dance and love until dawn!
How wonderful the beguine is!
My heart is captivated by its sweet accents
The beguine sings on, perverse and tender
Mixing dance and love until dawn!
Divine beguine
Our evenings from days gone by in the tropics
Are evoked magically by the sound of its voice
And I see them again, more magnificent
How divine the beguine is
The nights we spent together in exotic lands
Are brought back to life by the beguine's song
And to me they seem more wonderful than ever
How wonderful the beguine is!
On its happy shores, I met him
And that's when love came...
Ah! The beautiful days! Ah! The dear caresses
The sweet promise to love forever!
In the paradise of warm lands, I met him
And that's when love came...
Ah! The beautiful days! Ah! The dear caresses
The sweet promise to love forever!
Divine beguine
How wonderful the mad beguine was!...
But suddenly the azure sky was covered with dark clouds
And our love was swallowed up in a sudden storm!
And everything was over, over for good!
How wonderful the mad beguine was!...
But suddenly the azure sky was covered with dark clouds
And our love was swallowed up in a sudden storm!
And everything was over, over for good!
Ah, don't play the beguine for me anymore!
Because all that was, once upon a time, is now in ruins
What once was a beautiful, tender fire is now just ashes
Play the beguine, softly!
Ah, don't play the beguine for me anymore!
Because all that was, once upon a time, is now in ruins
What once was a beautiful, tender fire is now just ashes
Play the beguine, softly!
And yet maybe to the accents so touching
Of this melody of days gone by our regrets will fade
You will suddenly feel your soul come back to life
Singing in a shiver, the old song
How divine the beguine is
How divine the beguine is
How divine the beguine is!
And yet maybe to the accents so touching
Of this melody of days gone by our regrets will fade
You will suddenly feel your soul come back to life
Singing in a shiver, the old song
How divine the beguine is
How divine the beguine is
How divine the beguine is!
