Merle Haggard Uncle Lem

(Verse 1)
(1節)
The ladies of the garden club say
園芸クラブの女性たちは言う。
His home is just a disgrace to the town
彼の家は町の恥だ
If the Mayor wants re-elected
市長が再選を望む場合
He'd better pass some laws and tear it down
彼はいくつかの法律を制定し、それを破棄したほうがよい
They wanna cover it with flowers
彼らはそれを花で覆いたいのです
Maybe even plant some dogwood trees
ハナミズキの木を植えてもいいかもしれません
I guess that they've forgotten
彼らは忘れてしまったのだと思う
When we were kids what that place used to be
私たちが子供の頃、あの場所はどんな場所だったのか
(Verse 2)
(第2節)
I know it's just a shanty now
今はただの掘っ立て小屋だということはわかっている
But Lord, that place was built with human tears
でも主よ、あの場所は人間の涙で建てられたものです
For it's the home of Uncle Lem
ここはレムおじさんの家だから
Who was born and raised and lived there ninety years
そこで生まれ、育ち、90年間暮らした人
There's not a boy in this whole town
この町には男の子が一人もいない
Hasn't stopped for water at his well
井戸に水を汲みに立ち寄らなかった
Or sat on his porch in the evenin'
あるいは夕方には彼のポーチに座っていた
And listened to the stories that he'd tell
そして彼が語る物語に耳を傾けた
(Chorus)
(コーラス)
Oh, his hair was the color of a cotton field
ああ、彼の髪は綿畑の色だった
And his skin was old and brown
そして彼の肌は古くて茶色かった
And he was born in that rundown shack
そして彼はあの荒廃した小屋で生まれました
Before there was a town
町が生まれる前
He bought that shack and a piece of earth
彼はその小屋と土の一部を買った
For the highest price to pay
最高の代償を支払うために
His mom was bought and sold there
彼の母親はそこで売買された
Uncle Lem was born'd a slave
レムおじさんは奴隷として生まれた
(Bridge)
(橋)
The mayor and some ladies of the garden club
市長と園芸クラブの女性たち
Went out to tell Uncle Lem that he'd have to find a new place to live
レムおじさんに、新しい住む場所を探さないといけないと伝えに出かけた
Well, they found him there in that old broken down rockin' chair
そう、彼らはそこで、壊れた古いロッキングチェアに座っている彼を発見したのです
And on an old paper bag they found his will
そして彼らは古い紙袋に彼の遺書を見つけた
"Now I wanna leave my old shotgun to the fine mayor of this town
「今度は私の古いショットガンをこの町の立派な市長に預けたいと思います」
For I remember when he a little fella, he used to follow me around
だって、彼がまだ小さかった頃、よく私の後を追ってきたのを覚えているから
Lord, I wish I had more to give to my friends that I love
主よ、愛する友達にもっと与えることができたらよかったのにと思います
But all I've got is this old shack and a piece of earth
でも私が持っているのはこの古い小屋と土の一部だけ
And I want it to go to the ladies of the garden club"
そしてそれを園芸クラブの女性たちに届けたいのです」
(Chorus)
(コーラス)
Oh, his hair was the color of a cotton field
ああ、彼の髪は綿畑の色だった
And his skin was old and brown
そして彼の肌は古くて茶色かった
And he was born in that rundown shack
そして彼はあの荒廃した小屋で生まれました
Before there was a town
町が生まれる前
He bought that shack and a piece of earth
彼はその小屋と土の一部を買った
For the highest price to pay
最高の代償を支払うために
His mom was bought and sold there
彼の母親はそこで売買された
Uncle Lem was born'd a slave
レムおじさんは奴隷として生まれた
