歌詞と日本語訳

[Verse 1]
I used to study through the night
A student chasing stars and light
My teacher said: “Speak loud and clear,
Spell your dreams — the world will hear”

[Pre]
Every subject, every test
Every sentence I confessed
My spelling sharp, my mind in flight
Vocabulary grew each night
University gave me wings

[Chorus]
From class to career — watch me go
The universe rewards the ones who grow
Research late, recording dreams
Science isn't what it seems
Writing futures, line by line
A written promise: I'll be fine

[Verse 2]
First business day — a brand new world
A company of flags unfurled
A text from mum: “Good luck today!”
My teaching habits light the way:
I talk, I tell, I make things clear
I translate plans for all to hear
A good translation — bridge and art
From the classroom to the chart

[Bridge]
The agency called — they need a hand
An agent with a clever plan
I assist the team, an assistant true
Assistance is my avenue
We advertise with honest art
Advertising from the heart
An advertisement that doesn't lie
The buyer smiles — and that's the why
A budget balanced at the bank
An account in trust, the team to thank
A fair agreement, a signed contract
Economic storms — we stay intact
A businessman with gentle eyes
A businesswoman, bold and wise
The benefit of working right:
We're busy — but our hearts are light

[Outro]
An award on the shelf, a credit earned
But here's the greatest thing I learned:
Teach what you know, then learn some more
That's what a future's for

文法ポイント

1. 過去の習慣を表す used to: 「I used to study through the night」——used to + 動詞で、昔はしていたが今はしないことを表します。

2. 語族(word family): advertise → advertising → advertisementassist → assistant → assistancetranslate → translation。動詞と名詞が同じ語根から生まれます。

3. 冠詞 a/an + 職業・役割: 「a student, an agent, an assistant, a businessman」——母音の前は an。

シャドーイング練習

  1. まず歌詞を見ずに1回通して聴き、リズムとメロディーをつかむ。
  2. 歌詞を開き、一文ずつ歌手のすぐ後を追って真似する(必要なら0.75倍速)。
  3. 元の声に重ねて言い、抑揚と強勢をまねる(表のIPAの単語に注意)。
  4. 自分の声を録音して元の音源と比べ、ずれた音を直す。

語彙ストーリー:Mai'S First Job

次の短い物語には、この曲の48語がすべて含まれています。まず英語で読み、その後で日本語訳と照らし合わせましょう。英語の段落をクリックすると発音が聞けます。

English

Mai loved being a student. At university she would study until the lamps went out, building her vocabulary word by word, polishing her spelling, rewriting every weak sentence. Her favourite teacher told her: “Speak clearly, spell your dreams, and the universe will hear you.” Before every test, Mai replayed the recording of his lectures; her research project on village markets even mixed science with grandmother's stories. Her writing was simple and honest, and her written notes filled seven notebooks.

After graduation, a small company hired her — her first real business day. A text from mum arrived at dawn: “Good luck, my girl!” The office was a friendly agency that helped local farms sell their fruit. Her manager, a patient businesswoman, and the founder, a gentle old businessman, welcomed her like family.

Mai began as an assistant. She learned to assist everyone: she would translate customer letters, and her clear translation of a long contract saved the team a whole week. “Your teaching instinct shows,” the manager laughed, because Mai loved to talk things through and tell stories that made numbers easy. Slowly, they let her teach the interns too.

Then came real work: planning a budget, opening the company account at the bank, checking every agreement twice and reading each contract line by line. In hard economic months, her calm assistance kept the office warm. When they decided to advertise the autumn fruit, Mai wrote an advertisement so honest it became famous in town — proof that good advertising never needs to lie. The first big buyer signed within a week. Acting as the farm's agent, Mai shook hands on a fair price, and everyone shared the benefit.

A year later, busy but happy, Mai received the company's young talent award. She gave the credit to her old teacher. “My career started in a classroom,” she said at the small party. “Teach what you know, then learn some more. That is what a future is for.”
