「 Bad Day（バッドデイ）〜ついてない日の応援歌〜/Daniel Powter（ダニエル・パウター） 」
日ハムの去年まで選手会長だった“マック”こと金子誠選手が打席に立つときの登場曲に使っているので近年知った曲なんですが。 これがいい曲なんですよ 初めて聴いたとき自分が慰め励まされているような気分になってほろほろ泣いてしまったものです。 歌詞はといえば Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day この詩のキモは なんといっても 「You sing a sad song just to turn it around 」 でしょう このキモのフレーズを 「悲しい歌を歌うのは未来を変えたいから」 と訳したPVの訳詩もまた秀逸であります。 PVは都会のツイていない男の子とツイていない女の子の出会いまでのツイていない物語で画面が構成されていますが １５年プロ野球選手をしていて、怪我に泣いて時に二軍落ちして、股関節に治療不可能の障害を抱えて迎えたその１６年目に、打撃開眼。 ペナント開幕した今年四月に打率五割、五月も三割台をキープ、四月の月間MVPを獲った選手の登場曲だと思いながら歌と訳詩を見ると、感慨無量のものがあります。
