When You Are Who You Are(ギルスコットヘロン 1971年)

When You Are Who You Are by Gil Scott-Heron, 1971




君は好印象をつくろうと頑張っちゃう
べつにそんなことしなくていいんだ
君が素敵なのは笑うとき
心のなかで笑ったときも
なんて素敵なんだろうと僕は思う
君が君になるとき

朝起きるたび 君は仮面をかぶる
僕が気付かないとでもいうのかい?
その姿は本当じゃない
いつも気持ちを打ち明けてくれない
でも本当はこの上なく美しい
君が君になったとき

人は自分自身になろうとしないもの
それで ぐるぐる迷ってしまう
誰もが同じように迷ってるわけ

(バート・ジョーンズ ギターソロ)

朝起きるたび 君は仮面をかぶる
僕が気付かないとでもいうのかい?
その姿は本当じゃない
いつも気持ちを打ち明けてくれない
でも本当はこの上なく美しい
君が君になったとき

君が君でいるとき
君が君でいるとき


You always go out of your way to impress me
Don't you know by now, ain't no need to impress me?
I'm impressed every time you smile
When I feel like you mean to smile
'Cause you can be so very beautiful
When you are who you are

Every morning when you wake up you put on a new disguise
How long did you think it would take me to realize?
Girl, the things you were ain't real
You never tell me just how you feel
Girl, you could be so very beautiful
When you are who you are

People never seem to want to be themselves
So they end up running in circles confused
Yes, confused, just like everyone else

[Solo by Norberto]

Every morning when you wake up, you put on a new disguise
Just how long did you think it would take me to realize?
That the things you were ain't real
You never tell me just how you feel
When you could be so very beautiful
If you are who you are

When you are who you are
When you are who you are
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it
When you are who you are
When you are who you are
