洋楽で英語耳～歌って覚える
『The Miracle』から「I Want It All」
一緒に歌おう♪『The Miracle』から「I Want It All」
このいかにもBrian Mayらしいハードロックな曲です。
曲のインスパイアーは、ブライアン・メイの2番めの妻Anita Dobson（イギリスのTVタレント）で、彼女は"I want it all and I want it now."と言うのが口癖だったそうです。
女性が"I want it all and I want it now."というと、かなり貪欲に聞こえますね。それもそのはず、彼女との浮気が元でBrianは、最初の妻と破局したのですが、当時とても落ち込んだそうです。とはいえ、歌にしてしまうのは、さすがと思いませんか？

I Want It All 歌詞
- Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

alley : 路地, 小路(こうじ) , (狭い)裏通り - Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just gimme the sign
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth - I want it all (give it all - I want it all)
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now - I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all

I want it all, I want it all and I want it now Oh oh oh oh oooh - And I want it - now
I want it, I want it,Ooooh ha
