超訳’ScatmanJohn「Scatman 」(ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop)
「超訳」
「洋楽の歌詞」を日本語訳に直訳するより読者さんを最優先した「くだけた翻訳方法」を取っています。
オトナもコドモも、スキャットマンも。
声が上手く出せない吃音者が機械を使わずにクチで奏でる最高の一曲です。
逆境に挫けないお喋り応援曲です。
スキャット部分は訳さずお楽しみ下さい。

Everybody
stutters one way or the other So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact, don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
Everybody's
sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But
doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But what you don't know
I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and
the scat is the same thing to you
I'm the Scatman!!
Where's the Scatman?
I'm the Scatman!!
Why should
we be pleasin' any politician heathens
Who would try to changethe seasons if they could?
The state of the
condition insults my intuition
And it only makes me crazy and a heart like wood
Everybody
stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact,
I don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you
I'm the Scatman!

So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact,
I don't let nothin' hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
I hear you all ask
'bout the meaning of scat
Well, I'm the professor
and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleepin', the saints are still weepin' 'cause
Things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born
I'm the Scatman!

超訳おまけ。
このスキャットマン・ジョンの作詞にアメコミの主人公で、臆病で舌ったらずワンコが事件を解決する昔の国営アニメ「弱虫クルッパー」の決めゼリフ「スクービー・ドゥービー・ドゥー！」です。
スキャットマン・ジョンは当初、コドモ達への応援ソングとして発表する為、ドキドキしながら重い腰を上げた彼に敬意を表して、
超訳もコドモ向けに翻訳しました。
ちなみにスキャットは彼の「心臓ドキンドキン音」です。
長い間、お疲れ様でした。
未だに全曲持ってます。R.I.P John.
