As I Went Out One Morning 和訳と言語面での解釈

As I Went Out One Morning

As I Went Out One Morning

Written by Bob Dylan
From John Wesley Harding

As I went out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine’s
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains

ある朝、トム・ペインの(敷地)辺りで空気を吸いに外に出た時
鎖に繋がれ歩き続けていた、素晴らしい女性を見かけた

I offered her my hand
She took me by the arm
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm

彼女に手を差し伸べ、彼女は私の手を掴んだ
すぐに気づいたが、彼女は私を傷つけようとしていたんだ

“Depart from me this moment”
I told her with my voice
Said She, “But I don’t wish to”
Said I, “But you have no choice”

「今すぐ離れてくれ」と私の声をして言った
彼女は「でもそうしたくないわ」と言い、
私は「でもそうするしかないよ」と言った

“I beg you ,sir,” she pleaded
From the corners of her mouth
“I will secretly accept you
And together we’ll fly south

「どうかお願いします」と彼女の口元からこぼれた
「内緒で受け入れるから、一緒に南へ飛ぼう」

Just then Tom Paine, himself
Came running from across the field
Shouting at this lovely girl
And commanding her to yield

その時トム・ペインは敷地を渡って走ってきて
このお嬢さんに叫びかけ、控えるよう指図した

And as she was letting go her grip
Up Tom Paine did run
“I’m sorry, sir,” he said to me
“I’m sorry for what she’s done”

そうして彼女は握る手を離しては、トム・ペインへ走ったのだ
「申し訳ない」と彼は私に言った
「彼女のしたことは申し訳ない」と

Analysis

Uniqueなベースのリフと交わり3小節ずつ進むのが印象的な曲です
ややナンセンスな詩ですね

…fairest damsel…

もちろん公平なという意味がありますが、平らなニュアンスを表す純粋なという意味があるそう
Fairestは人となりを評価するのに使われることもあります

Damselは古い女性の呼び方

…took me by the arm…

誰かのどこかに触れるときはtouch sb by THE sthになるのは大事です

…knew that very instant…

Instantを副詞として使ってます
This instantで今すぐという使い方がメジャーなようです

…do me harm…

Harmなどの損益を表す名詞で使える慣用句で
– Oh, darling. Please believe me. I’ll never do you no harm. (The Beatles – Oh, Darling!)
– Crying won’t help you. Praying won’t do you no good. (Memphis Minnie – When the Levee Breaks)
など例がある

…with my voice… …have no choice…

Voiceとchoiceですね 覚えといたほうが良いね

Said she… Said I…

She said… I said…はまあ当然聞きますよね

分かんないけど倒置してsaidが頭で揃ったことでIとsheがemphasizeされて、「誰が言って、誰が言った」というように表現されてる気がする

…she pleaded from the corners of her mouth

Corners of one’s mouthで調べましたが該当特になしでした

Mouthのcornerからpleadしたということでこう訳した(あるいは含みのある懇願と認めてもいいかもしれないが深い意味は感じられない印象です

…her to yield

Fieldとrhymeするためだと思うので単にstopやholdと捉えていいでしょう

Next

ほとんどイディオムチェックみたいになりましたね
A面2曲目はこれくらいの質量がちょうど良い

…ever did walk…

Everがあるのでこういう訳にしました

この単語の意味を完全に理解できてるわけではないけど、今回の場合は「(鎖に繋がれ)ほかに何もできず歩き続けている」というニュアンスですかね

Music

F# minorでⅠm – Ⅶ – Ⅰmを繰り返して3ラリー目ではⅡ – Ⅴmも使われてます
今後も出会うかもしれないので覚えておきましょう

ハーモニカはDです
F# minorの並行調AはDハープのCrossed Positionです

End

Tom Paine as a figure may represent common sense or civil liberties, which the historical Tom Paine championed. However, it is also likely that this song references the prestigious Tom Paine Award that Dylan received in 1963 from the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee.

(登場人物のトム・ペインは、歴史上のトム・ペインが守り抜いた、常識あるいは市民自由権を表しているのだろう。ところが他にも、この曲はディランが1963年に国家緊急市民自由権委員会から受けた権威あるトム・ペイン賞を表しているようだ。)

この舞台でのスピーチでひと悶着あったようですね
気になる所だが、我々はもう12時を回ったので寝るとしよう、、、それでは
