Текст и перевод песни Eddie Higgins Trio - ビギン・ザ・ビギン

ビギン・ザ・ビギン

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 very divine the beguine is!
My heart is fascinated by its sweet accents
It goes on singing perversely and sweetly Note 1
Blending dance and love until dawn!

How wonderful is the beguine!
My heart is captivated by its sweet melodies
The beguine continues to sing perversely and sweetly
Mixing dance and love until dawn!

Divine beguine2

Our evenings of days gone by in the tropics
Are magically evoked by the sound of its voice
And I see them again, more magnificent
How divine is the beguine

The nights we once spent in the tropics
Are brought back to life by the beguine's voice
And to me they become even more magnificent
How wonderful is the beguine!

On its happy shores, I had met him Note 2
And love had come then...
Ah! The beautiful days! ah! the dear caresses
The sweet promise to love forever!

I met him in the land of tropical paradise
And that's when love came...
Ah! The beautiful days! ah! the cherished caresses
The sweet promise to love forever!

Divine beguine3

How wonderful was the crazy beguine!...
But suddenly the azure sky is darkened by dark clouds
And our love was swallowed up in a sudden storm!
And everything was over, well and truly over!

How wonderful it was, my darling, the crazy beguine!...
But suddenly, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds
And our love was swallowed up in a sudden storm!
And everything was over, finished and done with!

Ah, play the beguine for me no more!
For all that was, is now in ruins
What was once a beautiful fire so tender is now nothing but ashes
Play the beguine softly! Note 3

Ah, my dear, please don't play the beguine for me anymore!
For all that was, is now in ruins
What was once a beautiful, gentle flame is now nothing but ashes
Play the beguine softly!

And yet perhaps to the accents so touching Note 4
Of this tune of days gone by, our regrets will be intoxicated
You will suddenly feel your soul revived
Singing with a shiver, the old song
How divine is the beguine
How divine is the beguine
How divine is the beguine!

And yet perhaps to the accents so touching
Of this tune of days gone by, our regrets will be intoxicated
You will suddenly feel your soul revived
Singing with a shiver, the old song
How divine is the beguine
How divine is the beguine
How divine is the beguine!
