【オススメ発音練習曲】 Complicated - Avril Lavigne (2002)

[Intro]

Uh-huh, life’s like this
Uh-huh, uh-huh, that’s the way it is
‘Cause life’s like this
Uh-huh, uh-huh, that’s the way it is

[Verse 1]

Chill out, what you yelling for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see
I like, you the way you are
When we’re, driving in your car
And you’re talking to me one on one but you become

[Verse 2]

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
You’re watching your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

(1) dの後ろにうまくつなげる。デーブリワン。

[Chorus 1]

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
You fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

(1) actingはactin'としてgを抜く。like you're [laikjuə] とつなげる。
(2) 小節アタマの直前にI'mとか'causeとか入れてくるのが洋楽。発音記号的には[aim]ではあるが、かなりの速度で発声され、かつ音も小さい。コツとしては[ai]の[i]を強く読まない。[am]なら速くなるが、[aim]だと遅くなる人は、日本語の「イ」が横に引く口の動きを伴うから遅くなる。「アイ」よりも「アエ」の方がずっといい。

[Verse 3]

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you’re something else
Where you are ain't where it’s at you see
You’re making me
Laugh out, when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you’re not fooling anyone
When you've become

(1) unannounced [ˌʌnəˈnaʊnst] は第一音節[ʌ]を[ӕ]っぽく発音してしまわないように注意。不定冠詞anの強い発音が[ӕn]になるので、an announced と逆の意味に聞こえてしまう。
(2) v - b の子音移動。ここはvの音は消えている。とはいえ、you'veは[ju:v]という発音で、v音の分だけ[ju:]がかすかに短い。

[Verse 2]

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
You’re watching your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

[Chorus 1]

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
You fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

[Verse 1]

Chill out, what you yelling for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see

[Verse 2]

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
You’re watching your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

[Chorus 1]

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
You fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
You fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take, what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
