レッド・ツェッペリン / グッド・タイムス・バッド・タイムス

レッド・ツェッペリン栄光の飛行はこの曲から始まった。

いい時、わるい時。

いい時ばかりの人生はありえない。
わるい時ばかりの人生は耐えられない。

こう書くと、それはフィフティ・フィフティのようだ。
しかし最近はわるい時の方が多いような気がする。

世の中、ちょっと難儀になってきた。



Good Times Bad Times

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man,
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.

Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share;
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care.

Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be,
Only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me.
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end,
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh.

I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home.
I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the beat within my heart.
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.
