【予告】１０の約束（こいぬのきもち）

某氏とのロングプロジェクトでした。
もうじき公開なんだけど、先に、解説を書いておこうかなと。

私は訳と編詞をしてます。曲先のコラボ。

The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership「犬との１０の約束」
作者不詳の、ネットで生まれた、日本風に言えば「有名コピペ」です。牛丼コピペみたいな。著作権者不明で自由に使えます：）

これを翻訳・編集して、詞にしました。

最初に曲をもらったときには、コイヌをメタファーにしたＳＭがテーマのえろかわいい系の歌詞にしようかと思ってましたが、ピンとこないので犬についていろいろ考えていたら、この文に行き当たって、これを歌詞にしてみよう、と思いついた感じです。

c1
わたしから　あなたに
おねがいが　あるの
じゅうのやくそくです
きながにつきあってね

c2
わたしのこと　しんじてね
しあわせなの　それだけでも
c3
あなたのする　なにもかも
わすれないの　いつまででも

I

My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years.
Any separation from you will be painful for me.
Remember that before you aquire me.

II

Give me time to understand what you want from me.

III

Place your trust in me.
Remember that before you aquire me.

IV

Don't be angry at me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, and your entertainment.
I ONLY HAVE YOU!

V

Talk to me sometimes.
Even if I don't understand your words.
I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.

VI

Remember before you hit me that I have teeth than can easily crush the bones in your hand,
but I choose NOT TO BITE YOU.

VII

Before you scold me for being uncooperative,
obstinate, or lazy,
ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I don't understand what you ask of me or perhaps I am not feeling well,
not getting the right food,
been out in the sun too long,
or my heart is getting old and weak.

VIII

Take care of me when I get old,
you too will grow old.

IX

Go with me on difficult journeys.
Never say "I can't bear to watch" or "let it happen in my absence".
EVERYTHING IS EASIER IF YOU ARE THERE.

X

REMEMBER I LOVE YOU!
