"BIG YELLOW TAXI" by Joni Mitchell, 1970
素敵な場所だったところへ
舗装して駐車場ができた
脇にはピンク色のホテル、ブティック、話題の人気店が建った
いつもこんなのばかり・・・
失ってから大事だと気づく
美しい場所を駐車場にしちゃう
生えていた木をのこらず切り倒し
「木の博物館」をつくった
木を見たけりゃ1ドル50セント払うんだとさ
いつもこんなのばかり・・・
失ってから大事だと気づく
美しい場所を駐車場にしちゃう
農家のみなさんDDTは使わないで
りんごにまだらがついてたって構わない
鳥やら蜂やらを殺さないで
いつもこんなのばかり・・・
失ってから大事だと気づく
美しい場所を駐車場にしちゃう
昨晩のこと 玄関の戸の音がした
黄色い大型タクシーがやってきて
父ちゃんが行っちゃった
いつもこんなのばかり・・・
失ってから大事だと気づく
美しい場所が駐車場になった
昨晩 玄関の戸の音がした
黄色い大型トラクターがやってきて
家も土地も持っていかれた
いつもこんなのばかり・・・
失ってから大事だと気づく
美しい場所が駐車場になった
美しい場所が駐車場になった
美しい場所が駐車場になった・・・!
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, put away the DDT
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I said, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
