青い瞳のステラ,1962年 夏…

赤いキャンディ包んでくれたのは
古いニュースペーパー
白いペンキ何度も塗りかえす
夏の風の中で
今頃故郷のテネシーあたり
借り入れ時さとカタコト交じりで
バルコニーから覗くあんたは
プロンドさえも色褪せてた

派手な化粧振りまくオーデコロン
自慢のペンダント
俺の髪を撫でまわしながら
開けてみせた写真

もう一度船に乗る夢ばかり
風邪をひいた日にうわ言のように
好きなブルース聴いてた夜は
きまって夜にすすり泣いてた

After midnight
哀しみは永遠の眠りについたかい
After midnight
哀しみは海を渡って行ったかい

沖を渡る貨物船ながめ
テネシーワルツ歌おう
上手いもんさあんたに教わった
ちょっとイカしたステップ

ほめてくれよしゃがれた声で
芝生の下で眠っていずに
ほめてくれよBlue eyes細めて
芝生の下で眠っていずに

Stella with Blue Eyes, Summer 1962…

You wrapped the red candy in
The old newspaper
I repainted many times with white paint
In the summer breeze
At this time around Tennessee, my hometown
With a mixture of borrowed sensibility and broken language,
You were looking at me from the balcony.
Even your hair was fading.

Flashy makeup and eau de cologne,
Your favorite pendant.
You stroked my hair
And showed me the photo.

I had only dreams of getting back on the ship,
As if you were delirious with a cold,
On the night you played your favorite blues,
You always sobbed at night.

After midnight,
Has the sorrow fallen into an eternal sleep, dear?
After midnight,
Did the sorrow cross the ocean, darling?

Looking out at the freighter
Crossing the open sea,
Let's sing Tennessee Waltz,
As good as you taught me.

Praise me with your hoarse voice,
Dear, don't sleep under the sod,
Praise me with the narrowed blue eyes,
My darling, don't sleep under the sod.
