Brussels ワロニー領の人質

Brussels

ワロニー領の人質

2回目のヨーロッパ滞在は、ベルギーから始まった。

1回目の滞在で、すっかりヨーロッパ人のふりをしていた私は、

色々なカルチャーショックを受ける。

人種的な問題は、ヨーロッパでは根深いものがあると再認識した。

ブラッセルでの生活は、今思い返すと音楽的に何をやりたいか、

何ができるのかを模索していた時期だった。

今回はうまくいくだろうか？

どうやったら自分の音になるのか？とか？

オリジナリティってなんだろう？とか。

天候は、イギリス滞在していたので、寒くて暗い厚い雲にはなれていたけど、

孤独を感じることは、しょっちゅうあった。

若かったので、ナイトクラブにも通っていたし、

フランス語の勉強とか有意義に過ごしていたけど…

色んな人に助けられた。

ありがとう。

いわゆるEU本部がブラッセルにあったので、

色々な人種が住んでいた。

若い時はいいね、すぐに友達ができた^_^

スミスが大好きなデンマークのベーシスト、

おー、彼の名前なんだっけ？

一時期、彼といろんなギグに行ったなー笑。

ジョニーマーがザ・ザのギター参加してる時に、

ジョニーが出ると思って、ザ・ザを見に行った。

ジョニーマーがいたのかな？

忘れた！

完全に覚えていない。

グラン・パレスの近くにあるレコード屋に行って、

色んなレコードを買い漁った。

で、前にも話したけど

Rue Rassonに住んでて、

そこに住む条件が大家さんが1年いない間、

そこのシャム猫と住むことだった。

猫と同居、飼ったのではない、あくまでもそこは、

彼女ポンポンの家だったので、同居だ。

シェア・アパルトメントということ。

僕の秘密の恋人であるポンポン^_^は、

すごく焼きもちだった。

女の子を家に連れて行こうものなら、

お気に入りのレコードをその爪で傷つけられた。

オーララ！

It was the Smiths's The Queen is Dead and Hatful of Hollow.

そして、僕はしばらくしてから、ブラッセルからロンドンへ移り住む。

大家さんが帰ってくることもあってね^_^

みなさんご心配なく、同居猫ポンポンは

大家さんの元で幸せに暮らしましたとさ。

別れる時、大泣きしたけどな！

笑

Oh Brussels I have never heard before the song about you.

Brussels

The hostage of Wallonie.

The second stay in Europe began in Belgium.

I was completely pretending to be a European during my first stay.

Then I had to have a variety of culture shocks second stay.

I recall and reaffirmed that racial issues are deeply rooted in Europe.

Living in Brussels was a time when I was thinking about

what I wanted to do musically

and what I could do for my youth.

Will this go well?

How do you get your sound?

What is originality?

And so on.

Although the weather in Brussels with cold and thick dark clouds

that I used to while I was in England,

I often felt lonely.

I was young, so I went to a nightclub.

I also attend the class studying French

though my loneliness peaked out sometime.

I was helped by various people then.

I would like to say 'Thank you' to them.

As the so-called EU headquarters were in Brussels,

various races lived there.

While you were young, it's easy to make friends right away lol.

A Danish bassist who loves the Smiths,

uh, what was his name?

I went to various gigs with him.

When Johnny Marr was playing on 'THE THE's guitar.

We thought that Johnny would be playing so we went to see them live performance.

Did Johnny Marr play?

I forgot!

I do not remember completely.

I often went to a record shop near the Grand Palace

and bought various records and CDs.

As I said before,

I live in Rue Rasson,

and the condition to live there was to live with a Siamese cat

while the landlady had not been for a year.

I did not live with a cat before.

The cat named 'Pompon'.

I had to share the place with her.

Share-apartment!

Oh My secret lover 'Pompon'

^ _ ^,

She was very mean and cruel like every cats.

and cute of course.

When I invite or take the girl friend home,

next evening I found my favorite record scratch with her nail.

Ooh lala!!!

I recall it was the Smiths's The Queen is Dead and Hatful of Hollow.

And after a while, I moved from Brussels to London.

The land lady came back to Belgium.^ _ ^

Do not worry about Pompon ,everyone!

She lived happily under the landlady.

When I moved out there, I cried a lot!

Lol

Oh Brussels I have never heard before the song about you.

lyrics

Brussels - Bruxelles

The worldwide outside makes all salvers inside-out.

The bilingual divide makes people’s heart very cold.

Money comes and goes, the city became too hot.

There are so many people gathering under the flag of shinning stars.

But I saw you stumble, made yourself humble.

Then you started a dribble, again you shuffled.

The last card for you was an Angel.

I told you I don’t believe those kinds of things.

Oh, Brussels!

I have never heard before

Jack Brel was singing about you.

Bruxelles!

Every five minutes you gave me pouring rain on me.

Every five seconds you show me you’ve got the independent Blues.

You wish Grand Palace were the center of the world.

Does it really matter for you, they won the Golden Cup?

I saw you scrambled, made yourself struggle.

When it’s king’s funeral you cut down the cable.

The last train for me was 10 to 12.

You didn’t tell me today was special.

Oh, Brussels!

I have never heard before the song

Jack Brel was singing about you.

Bruxelles!

Oh, Brussels!

Ever loved by the Queen,

Now it is farewell. God bless you Brussels,
