ELVIS PRESLEY BLUES (Joan Baez)
ELVIS PRESLEY BLUES
JOAN BAEZ
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Worn a shirt his mother made he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rebel, baby
Like you never seen
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
正に整髪したカントリーボーイ
お母さんが作ったシャツを着て、放送を続ける
そして、彼は、コーラスガールのように、それを振った
彼は、ハーレムクイーンのように、それを振った
彼は、真夜中の反逆者のように
貴方が会った事もない可愛い娘のように
それを振った
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
He shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
彼は、黒人と白人から、それをすっかり
もう一方の手で魔法の杖（マイクスタンド）を引ったくり、握り締めた
そして彼は、ハリケーンのようにそれを振った
彼は、それを壊そうとでもするかのように、それを振った
彼は、宗教上体を揺する人、火に炙（あぶ）られたような気迫に釣られた女の子に似て
それを振った
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
And he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
私は、あの夜、エルビスの事を思い起こしていた
彼が死んだ日、彼が死んだ日
ジョン・ヘンリーが倒れると同時に死んだ事が、どれ程幸せだったかを考える時
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
彼はそれを振り、あのスチームドリルを打ち付ける
可愛い娘が、そう、僕を幸せな気分にする
何処が悪い？

it・・・腰だと思います。
Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presleya (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor.
A cultural icon, he is commonly known by the single name Elvis.
One of the most popular musicians of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or "the King".
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13.
He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience.
Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was the most important popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country and rhythm and blues.
RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who went on to manage the singer for over two decades.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number-one hit.
He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records.
His energized interpretations of songs, many from African-American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He staged few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, after seven years away from the stage, he returned to live performance in a celebrated comeback television special that led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of profitable tours.
In 1973 Presley staged the first concert broadcast globally via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. Prescription drug abuse severely deteriorated his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at the age of 42.
Presley is regarded as one of the most important figures of 20th-century popular culture.
He had a versatile voice and unusually wide success encompassing many genres, including country, pop ballads, gospel, and blues.
He is the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music.
Nominated for 14 competitive Grammys, he won three, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36.
He has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
