「もしボクに世界が変えられるなら」

エリック・クラプトンの弾き語りで知られる、しっとりメロディアスなラブソング。 すてきな曲であるのみならず、仮定法使いまくりのこの曲は、文法のお勉強に最適な教材です！”If I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe.”「もしボクに世界が変えられるなら、ボクは君の宇宙の光になるんだ」。現実味のない未来について話す時には、if節も過去形に、もう片方の節も過去形の助動詞wouldやcouldを使います。英語の仮定法はややこしく感じられますが、仮定法過去は、この歌を歌ってマスターしましょう！

“Change The World”
by Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy, and Wayne Kirkpatrick

If I could reach the stars
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:

That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It’s only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby, if I could change the world.

If I could be king,
Even for a day,
I’d take you as my queen;
I’d have it no other way.

And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
‘Til then I’d be a fool,
Wishing for the day…

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby, if I could change the world.
Baby, if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby, if I could change the world.
Baby, if I could change the world.
Baby, if I could change the world.
