「君はボクの人生の太陽だ」

新年あけましておめでとうございます。おかげさまでこのコラムも三月で丸四年。毎回どんな曲をみなさんに紹介しようか、選曲を楽しんでいます。2018年の一曲目は、明るく元気にスティービー・ワンダーのこのナンバー。”You are the apple of the eye, forever you’ll stay in my heart”.「君はボクにとってかけがえのない存在。永遠にボクの心のなかに居続けるんだ。」「apple of the eye」は「とても大事なもの、かけがえのない存在」という慣用表現です。美しいメロディとともに、愛しい人の事を思って心がジンと温かくなる曲ですね。みなさんがお互いに心に希望の光を届け合う一年になりますように。

You Are the Sunshine of My Life
by Stevie Wonder

You are the sunshine of my life
That’s why I’ll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you’ll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I’ve loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I’d find myself drowning in my own tears, whoa oh oh ah

You are the sunshine of my life,
That’s why I’ll always stay around, mmm mmm yeah yeah
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you’ll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?
Whoa oh oh oh

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That’s why I’ll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you’ll stay in my heart.
You are the sunshine of my life, baby,
That’s why I’ll always stay around
