I just started working on this song today and this is an initial attempt version.
I will do some more practice and make a new video again. The next time maybe I will play the acordeon and drums, too, to make it an MTR version.
これは、アイルランド出身の The Pogues というバンドの歌です。 「ニューヨークのおとぎ話」という題名ですが、多分にアイルランド民謡的なイメージを持っていると思います。 クリスマスの歌で、ちょっと季節はずれではありますが。 
俗語を含む歌詞ではありますが、なかなか味わい深い歌だと思います。
今回は初めての、練習バージョンです。 もっと練習して、今度は、アコーデオンとドラムスも入れた多重録音版にしてみようと思っています。
曲中に出てくる "Galway Bay" というアイルランドの歌は下記です (You can listen to "Galway Bay" at) :

Lyrics:

= Fairy Tale of New York =

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The voice of the NYPD choir
Was singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
Thank God it's our last

The voice of the NYPD choir
Was singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The voice of the NYPD choir
Was singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

  • Well done Andy, Excellent, Bravo. Very good. You would give Shane McGowan a run for his money.

  • I am so happy to have your words, Harry557.

    Looks you are from Ireland. Nothing else would ever please me than to receive such a compliment from a person who is from the county in which the singers of this song and the spirit of this song originated.

    Many thanks again.

  • いつかこの歌詞を完全に覚えて、自分の歌にして、歌ってみたいで­す。

    コメントありがとうございました。

  • この歌詞にある、  drunk tank とは、酔っ払いがぶち込まれる留置所のことのようです。

    ステージで、酒を飲みながら、タバコを吸いながら、この歌を歌う­シェイン。

    賛否両論。 多分否が大勢かもしれません。 でも、そこにいる観衆達も、彼と一緒になって、踊りながら歌って­いる。 これは紛れもない事実です。

    私は、彼が、好きです。

  • ほんとだ、

    忘れちゃだめですよ、Andyさん。(笑)

    メッセージ、ありがとうございました。

    そのような曲だったのですね。

    いい歌ですね。

    ありがとう。

    おっと、忘れるとこでした~。

  • おっと、大切なものを忘れました:

  • おは代さん、ありがとうございます!

    アイリッシュな感じで、いいメロディーですよね☆☆

    この曲本当は途中から男女の掛け合いになるので、女性の声真似を­しようかと思ったんですが、そうなると、ちょっと方向性が変わっ­て来てしまうので・・・(?)

    使われてる言葉はラフですが、温かみにある味わい深い曲だと思い­ます。

    Thanks again, ohayo-san !!!

  • ♪ララララ~♪

    ここのとこの、メロディー、好き。(^_-)-☆

    Andyさん、こんばんは~。

    ララのメロディーが、頭のなかで、ぐるぐる・・・。(笑)

    「ニューヨークのおとぎ話」というタイトル、

    かわいい!

    素敵な曲のご紹介、ありがとうございました。(^_-)-☆
