I'll Take A Melody - Frankie Miller

Frankie Miller...That's Who! The Complete Chrysalis Recordings [1973-1980]

Written by Allen Toussaint
Lyrics:

I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "Hey You!"

As you ramble through your sorrow
Seem like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows
I know something's helping me along

I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple D to E
And feel brand new about it

I understand why the old fisherman
Sail along, sail along, sail along
Someday you'll be gone

I hear you talking 'bout your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
Once you know what to do

I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never will come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do

I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple G to E
And feel brand new about it

I understand why the old fisherman
Sail along, sail along, sail along
Someday you'll be gone

I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple G to C
And feel brand new about it

Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining

Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
和訳：

どしゃ降りの雨を見ていた
空は灰色　一片の青　雲の穴からのぞいていた
太陽が叫んだよ「Hey You!」

悲しみをさまよい歩いても　ろくなことはない
昨日の明日を生きてるんだ　なんとかなるさ

メロディーをつかもう　やるだけやるさ
シンプルにDからEで　生まれ変わる

俺にはわかる
老いた漁夫が船を出し　流れ流れて
いつか去っていってしまうわけが

君の苦しみを聞こう　誰にも悩みはある
そいつは　うたかたのように消せるのさ
やることがわかっていれば

俺は夢追い人と呼ばれてきた
決してかなわぬ夢
好き勝手に呼ばれたものさ
なにをしようと明かしてもいないのに

メロディーをつかもう　やるだけやるさ
シンプルにGからEで　生まれ変わる

俺にはわかる
老いた漁夫が船を出し　流れ流れて
いつか去っていってしまうわけが

メロディーをつかもう　やるだけやるさ
シンプルにGからCで　生まれ変わる

輝け　輝きつづけろ
輝くんだ　輝きつづけるんだ
