Aja/Steely Dan（1977）
今回は、1977年発売のアルバム「Aja/Steely Dan」のタイトル曲：
Up on the hill
People never stare
They just don't care
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
海を臨む丘の上
人のことは詮索しない
菩提樹の木陰に
チャイニーズミュージックが流れる
大人の楽園
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Aja
仕事をやっつけたら
オマエのところへ飛んで行くよ
Up on the hill
They've got time to burn
There's no return
丘の上
慰戯に身をやつす
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Let's do it right
遺伝子が宙に舞う
道具は要らない
直球勝負
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Aja
仕事をやっつけたら
オマエのところへ飛んで行くよ
Up on the hill
They think I'm okay
Or so they say
ここでは
上客の部類らしい
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes
Sound good to me
チャイニーズミュージックを聴くと気が安らぐ
三線の音色が心地よい
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Aja
仕事をやっつけたら
オマエのところへ飛んで行くよ
