歌の勉強

みなさん!今日は少し歌の勉強します!最初の歌はYuiの「Laugh Away」。その歌は2008にリオの一番好きな歌でした!今聞いて、たくさん昔の思い出が戻てあります。そのときについて懐かしい感じています。そのときには僕はひどい仕事をあって、その歌は悲しいときに幸せになてくれました。:)

今日は歌からの助けを借りてボキャブラリーのリスト(語彙リスト?)を作ります。


Someone took the little video clip I had found for it when I wrote this and unfortunately I can't find a replacement so this little video will have to do. The trees are beautiful, aren't they!

自転車を漕ぎ続けた to continue pedalling / to peddle on*

上り坂       uphill
駆け上げる     to run up (駆ける-to run)
追い越せる     to let overtake (追い越す- to overtake)
情熱        passions, enthusiasm
逃す        to miss
伸ばす       to stretch (to reach out your hand: 手を伸ばす)
ちっぽけな     tiny, puny, measly
悩んでいる     to be troubled, to worry
咲き誇る桜     cherry trees in full bloom
花びら       petal
負ける       to lose, be defeated
そう        yes (on its own: ie. そう、笑って)
そっと       softly, easily (on its own: ie. そっと、笑って)
丘         hill
息を切らす     to gasp for air
見下ろす      to look down
見上がる      to look up
屋根        roof
溢れる       to overflow
零す        to spill
目の前に      in front of one's eyes
広がる       to spread, unfold
景色        view, scenery, landscape
落ち込む      to feel down, to feel sad


*I don't think I've come across this before, or if I have, I've never noticed it! Japanese speakers out there, if I change the verb like 'V-ます+続ける', will that change every verb to "to continue" doing that action? ie. 食べ続ける to continue to eat
     寝続ける to continue sleeping
     読み続ける to continue reading

After making this vocab list, it helps me so much when I look back at the song lyrics! It helps to see how the sentences are put together and also helps to focus on the grammar used in the lyrics, for example I came across several grammatical patterns that I had not come across for ages and had almost forgotten! I will now try and study the list and re-listen to the song afterwards! :)



If there are any errors, please tell me! I'm unsure about how I've written and translated 見下ろす and 見上げる.

  1. 細かいですが、
    ×:「駆け上げる」
    ○:「駆け上がる」

    「見下ろす」、「見上げる」は合っていると思います。
