"The Clash" is said to be the most successful rock'n roll band. Their career was an event that symbolizes an era. They're took their songs in various music-styls such as Reggae, Dub, Gospel, Folk, R&B, Rockabilly, Jazz, Ska, and Calypso. They made song "London Calling" which established their original individuality and shocked the music scene.
I'll present their song,"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais". This song gained tremendous popularity in the world. The melody is a little happy, and their voices are smoothl. Especially, this song isn't like their rock-style, and that was unusual for them, but as a result, "The Clash" received good reviews from all over the world as they turned over a new leaf. When I listen to their songs, I always listen to "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais". Then I'll notice a difference in its melody. This is my favorite song by "The Clash".This song is worth a listen.
(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais ~The Clash~
Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
真夜中から朝の6時までの男
ジャマイカから初めてやって来た
ディリンジャーにリーロイ・スマート
デルロイ・ウィルソン スゴ腕だぜ
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen
UKポップレゲエのケン・ブース
バックバンドはサウンド・システム
もし奴らが何か言いたいなら
ここには耳を傾ける沢山の黒人たちがいる
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel
けど一晩中まるでフォー・トップス 舞台の下手からアンコールやって
重低音から最高音まで満たしても
ステージ上のやつ等にはロック反逆者のルーツがない
ありはしない、、、ロック反逆者のルーツなんて
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
何にもならないんだ
パイプを手にバカやっても
英国軍が外で待っている
重さ1500トンだぜ
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
白人の若者よ、黒人の若者よ
他の解決策を見つけた方がいいぜ
ロビン・フッドに電話して
富の分配ってのをいくらか頼む、とかさ
Punk rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
UKのパンクロッカーは
どっちにしろ気づこうとしない
やつらみんな争いに忙しいからな
ライトの下の良い場所を求めて
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
新しいグループは関心がない
学ぶべきものがあるってことに
バートンスーツを着たりして はは、おかしいだろ
反逆を金に変えてやがる
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
そこらじゅうでみんな投票相手を変える
自分のコートに合わせて
アドルフ・ヒトラーが今日降り立ったら
やつらリムジンで出迎えるぜ
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun
俺はドラッグを求めて夜通しうろつく狼
太陽のもとじゃ病的に過ぎる
俺は白人 ダンスホールの中で
ただ楽しいことを求めてる
