[ZA🇿🇦/US🇺🇸]Orion Sun – ‘Concrete’

『Best of 2021。素晴らしい2枚のAlbumでリスナーを魅了した南アフリカ出身の天才Singer/Producer ‘Orion Sun’ が待望の新曲 ‘Concrete’ を公開。柔らかな旋律とTightなDrumのコントラストが美しいtrackに、神々しい歌声でRomanticでSpiritualな歌詞と共に包み込んだ極上のmellow tune。恐らくこの先にAlbumが待ち構えていると思うのですが、今回も期待しかありません。本人のInstagramに記載されていた楽曲に関するコメントの和訳と英詞を掲載しておきますので歌詞の解釈の参考にどうぞ。』

Words from Orion Sun’s instagram


この曲についての私の考え:
 [my thoughts on this song:]

人は嘘をつくと、自然から遠ざかります。
 [when a person lies, they alienate themselves from nature]
私は自然と一体の時は本当の自分でいられるので、自然の外でも本当の自分でいられます。
 [i stand in my truth when i am one with nature so much so that i am able to stand in my truth outside of it as well.]
自然や地球全体のことを考えるとき、私は自分の祖先のことを考えます。
 [when i think of nature and the earth as a whole i think of my ancestors.
私の血統は長く
 [my lineage is long]
強さと知識に満ちていて
 [filled with strength and knowledge]
強じんで美しさにあふれています。
 [overflowing with resilience and beauty]
私が困難な状況に陥ったとき、先人たちのことを思い出すと励まされます。
 [when things get tough for me i am comforted when i think of those that have come before me]
自分がいるべき場所にいることを思い出させてくれます。
 [its a reminder that i am where im supposed to be]
多くの命が生きてきました
 [so many lives lived]
過ちを犯し
 [mistakes made]
勝利を得て
 [victories had]
私をここまで導いてくれた
 [that led me to this point]
私の前途に否定的な意見が出てきても、それは良くも悪くもなく
 [so any negativity that comes my way is neither good or bad]
私が次のステップに進むために必要なものです。
 [just necessary to get me to the next step]
勇気と信念と強さを表現する機会です。
 [an opportunity to express courage and faith and strength]
私の祖先への頌歌
 [an ode to my ancestors]
ご先祖様を誇りに思う気持ちが私を暖めてくれます
 [the thought of making them proud warms me]
私は完成するまで制作を続けます
 [i will continue my work til it is finished]
また、私の人生に関わる人々にも誇らしくあってもらいたいと思ってます。
 [i also wanna make the people in my life proud as well]
私は常に癒され、学び、成長していて
 [i am healing and learning and growing constantly]
そして私の人生に付き合ってくれる人々にとても感謝しています
 [and very grateful for the people in my life that do the same]
そして今でも彼らに支えられています。
 [and allow me to lean on them still for support]
私が大好きなことは、できる限り恩返しをすることです。
 [something i love to do is return the favor whenever i can]
それが私の望む世界です。
 [thats the world i want]
だから、私たちは築くのです!築くのです!築くのです!
 [so we build! build! build!]
日々努力しよう
 [work at it everyday]
一人ひとりが共に
 [individually together]

Orion Sun – ‘Concrete’ lyrics:

No shade but you gonna see
How you gonna through dirt on my name jeez?
Nigga please
I know that you proud of me
Sprouting from the underground through the concrete
Baby go slow when you ridin me
Take your time with me
Makin honey drip down like a bumble bee
Fuck me like she proud of me

They waiting to see
All eyes still on me
But I know somewhere you so proud of me (of me)
It’s all I can see
Means so much to me

Holding hands when I need a break
I don’t know how much more I can take
Need to meditate
No never go away
Trying to be my best, what more can I say?
Yeah I’m on the road but I’m not alone
Told you on the phone
If you need it and I got it, no it’s not a loan
Want to help before I go

They waiting to see
All eyes still on me
But I know somewhere you so proud of me (of me)
Its all I can see
Means so much to me

Remember waiting for ya
At the train stop
I put new songs on my ipod
I wanna show em to ya, I like what you think
I like when you smile, when you hear me sing.
Remember back then?
We was burning through some packs on the corner
Like some gargoyles laughing
Pigybacking, you was proud
After the show you took me out
They waiting to see
All eyes still on me
But I know somewhere you so proud of me (of me)
It’s all I can see
Means so much to me

Clouds broke, now it’s raining on me
My ancestors yeah they watch over me
Watering me
Watching me grow
