辞書を引きながら読む今日の１曲："Heroes and Villains" The Beach Boys

I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Stand or fall, I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

dudeは、All the young dudeのdudeで、”野郎”ですな。彼女って、撃たれても死ななかったの？それでも、その夜も平気で踊り続けてていたと。何か不安だな。

In tne cantina, Margarita keeps the spirits high
There I watched her
She spun around and wound in the warmth
Her body fanned the flame of the dance

Dance Margarita!
Don't you know I love you!

cantinaは酒場。Margaritaが彼女の名前。ぐるぐる回って、ぬくもりに傷ついて（？）、彼女の体がダンスの炎をたきつけた、と。これって、オバケじゃないんだよね？

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe; healthy, weathy and wise

I've been in this town so long
So long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff
to ride in the rough-
And Sonny, down snuff, I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

要は、西部開拓時代の話で、「英雄と悪漢」だらけの町で、爺さんが昔の母ちゃんを回想している歌だと（爆）。単語だけ分かっても、何だかよく分からないね（笑）。下のサイトの詩も、SMiLEの歌詞カードとはちょっと違ってる。まあ、アメリカ人が聞いても難しいと（笑）。今日だけで、この企画止めよう（笑）。
