Almost there, we're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me

We're almost there where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you

Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling, this is the right time
To let the kisses start

For you're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there

You're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes for we're almost there
Almost there
Almost there

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
He sings each night in some cafe
In his search to find wealth and fame
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name

It's a year since he was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back

Oh tell him how my heart just breaks in two
Since he journeyed far
And even though his dreams of fame fell through
To me he will always be a star

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away

And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Ask him to start for home today
When you find him please let him know
Rich or poor, I will always love him so

Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away...

ナビゲーション　　

「位置情報」が世界を変える

山本 昇 (著)

集英社 (2012/8/17)

内容紹介
　自らの現在位置を確認し、目的の場所がどこにあるのかを把握し、どうすればそこに辿り着けるのかを知ること……。
古代より現在に至るまで、「位置情報」は、人類にとってきわめて重要な事柄であった。
そのために、今も多くの人々の献身的な努力が積み重ねられている。
羅針盤に頼った大航海時代から、航空機やロケット出現の時代を経て、カーナビやスマートフォンへといたる歴史、
それは「時間」と「空間」の制覇に賭けた人々のドラマともいえる。
我々に多大な恩恵を与え、今なお発展し続けているナビゲーションについて、具体例を挙げつつ分かりやすく論じる。

<目次>
まえがき
第一章:大航海時代の幕開きと地球球体説の実証
第二章:精密海洋時計の開発とイギリスの七つの海の制覇
第三章:ロランの開発とパックスアメリカーナ
第四章:慣性航法システム及びGPSの開発
第五章:ナビゲーションの現在と将来
第六章:人類は技術開発の進歩についていけるのか

Be true to yourself,and you'll be the girl that I
Want you to be.

Catches your eye just follow your heart.
I know your heart won't lead you wrong.
Our love is much too strong.

I'm not afraid of losing you
I have faith in you, can't you see?
Darling be true to yourself
And you'll always be true to me.

Walk On By


収録アルバム
Laura Nyro
Fillmore East, N.Y.C. - 22 December 1970
Bootleg



If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)

韓国:倫理崩壊

韓国:倫理崩壊1998‐2008
―社会を蝕む集団利己主義の実情非常識

呉 善花 (著)

三交社 (2008/06)


　韓国は世界有数の「嘘つき大国」である—韓国に生まれ育った私が、そう言わざるをえないことをまことに悔しく悲しく思う。ただこれは私にかぎらず、ずっと以前から声を大にして国内で叫ばれ続けてきたことである。虚言、欺瞞、嘘つき行為は、近年では目を覆うばかりの惨状を各界に広げており、今や韓国社会の解決すべき最重要課題とすらなってしまった。ある知識人は次のように言う。

「国全体がウソの学習場だ。一挙手一投足がマスコミに報道される大統領などの指導層は、影響力が大きいウソの教師だ」 (p.102)

You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)



Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David

Dionne Warwick on stage in Paris ,1966



Mother told me always to follow the golden rule.
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel.
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you.

(Chorus)
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart.
so be very careful not to make us part.
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart. . .

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around.
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down.
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry.

Chorus
-----------------------
(if you break my heart, If you break my heart)
-----------------------

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do.
It's a day i dreamed of so long now comin' true.
You will promise to cherish me.
If you break your promise the angels will see.

Chorus

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la. la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la,

収録アルバム
Shirley Bassey/12 of Those Songs
EMI Columbia, 1968



A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears.

Darling, have a heart,
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone.
Turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Oh, please be there still in love with me.

いま一度，紹介します。

2年前は石碑がポツンとあっただけで，
林森公園の管理事務所で筆談で石碑の場所を尋ねても
「そんなモノはここには無い!」とけんもほろろ
という有り様だったのです。

が，しかし....

かように立派な案内板まで備わって，
公園の外からでも，ドーンと存在感があるのです。

Anita Harris/The Essential
Right Recordings, 2003



Sometimes your eyes look blue to me
Although I know they're really green
I seem to see you differently
Changing as I'm treated kindly
Or treated meanly

From moment to moment
You're two different people
Faithful and warm when I'm in your arms
And then when you leave
You're so untrue

But however you are
Deep down, whatever you are
Whoever you are, I love you

Sometimes I feel you're mine alone
And yet I'm sure it's just not so
I get this feeling on my own
After I've learnt if you're staying
Or if you're going

From moment to moment
You're two different people
Someone I know as the man I love
Or the man I wish
I never knew

But however you are
Deep down, whatever you are
Whoever you are, I love you

Sometimes your eyes look blue to me

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

Why do stars fall off from the sky
Everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you...

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Aah...
Close to you....

Kristina Train/Dream Of Me

Dream of me


Written by Kristina Train

Mercury, 2012 EP (UK)





Dream of me baby
In a place, far away from here
And dream of we made it
Now we see, what is crystal clear

Cause this life, this lonely, lonely life
Always caught on winter’s edge
Cuts you like a knife
I know that there’s somewhere
Everything is bright
And one day I’ll call
That life I dream of, this life

Dream of me baby,
In a land far across the seas
The darkness has faded
Dark ... light is falling through the leafs

Cause this life, this lonely, lonely life
Always caught beneath the wheels
Broken by the night
I know that there’s somewhere
Everything is bright
And one day I’ll call
That life I dream of, this life

Cause this life, this lonely, lonely life
Is cold as snow and hard as stone
Darker than the light
I know that there’s somewhere
Everything is bright
And one day I’ll call
That life I dream of, this life.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head


Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David





収録アルバム
Jimmy Ruffin ... Forever
Motown, 1973



Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll just die

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combin' my hair now
And wonderin' what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Say you love me too
Why don't you answer my prayer
You know every day I say a little prayer
I said I say, I say a little prayer

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

1994, CBS Sony


One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry

(Cry, cry, no more laughter)
I should be happy
(Oh, why did he go)
Since he left my life's so empty

Though I try to forget it just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
I don't know how in the world

To stop thinking of him
'Cause I still love him so
I spend each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out

One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away (he went away)

(One less bell to answer)
Why did he leave me
(Why, why, why did he leave)

(One less bell to answer)
Now I've got one less egg to fry
One less egg to fry
(Why, why, why did he leave)
And all I do is cry

(One less bell to answer)
Because a man told me goodbye
(Why, why, why did he leave)

(One less bell to answer)
Somebody tell me please
Where did he go, why did he go
(Why, why, why did he leave)
Tell me how could he leave me
