IT'S TIME

3　 You Don't Know Me (Album Version)

試聴でこの曲を聴いた瞬間に購入を決定。

僕は君をこんなにも愛しているのに・・でも君はそんな僕を知らないんだね・・

と女性なら一度は耳元で囁かれたいクサイ？フレーズも、マイケルの甘い声で情感たっぷりに、こうして歌われると、うっとり聴けるものなんですね。（笑）

Michael Buble - You Don't Know Me and That's All (Live 2005) HD

Michael Buble- You don't know me

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
and I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
Well, you don't know me

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me

For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I let my chance go by
A chance that you might
love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Oh you'll never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me
　

間奏のギターソロがいいねえ・・しみじみ・・

For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I let my chance go by
A chance that you might
love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Oh you'll never know
The one who loves you so
You don't know me
You never know
The one who loves you so

Well... you don't know me
　

ため息が出ます・・

４　Quando, Quando, Quando (Album Version)

売れに売れまくって600万枚というファーストアルバムで、グラミー賞、ジュノー賞を受賞した、Nelly Furtado / ネリー・ファーダドとのデュエットは圧巻。

Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando quando quando
We can share a love divine
Please don't make me wait again

When will you say yes to me
Tell me quando quando quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh my love please tell me when

Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando quando quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then darling tell me when

Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando quando quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then darling tell me when

間奏のアルトサックスが取るソロがまたいい・・

マイケルの後を追いながら、時にはハモリ、また追いかけるという構成も　Beautiful !

Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando quando quando
Say it's me that you adore
And then darling tell me when

Oh my darling tell me when
And then darling tell me when
Oh my darling tell me when
　

11 Song For You (Album Version)

ご存知、レオン・ラッセルの名曲、ソングフォーユー。

イントロでいきなりトランペットのクリス・ボッティが！

Michael Buble - Song for you ( Live @ Madison Square Garden ) [HD]

引き続きピアノでの弾き語り風から始まり、ストリングスが絡む。

甘美です・・
　

I've been so many places, In my life and time
I've sung alot of songs, Ive made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages, with ten thousand people watchin
But we're alone now, and I'm singing my song for you

I know your image of me, is what I hope to be
Ive treated you unkindly but girl, can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darlin can't you please see through me
So we're alone now and I'm singing my song for you

You taught me precious secrets
The truth with holding nothin
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
So if my words dont come together,listen to my melody
cause my love's in there hiding
　

クリス・ボッティの間奏の前でいきなり転調するのがお洒落。

やられました。（笑）

I love you in a place, where theres no space or time
I love you for my life, cause your a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you

And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
　

余談だが、映画「恋は邪魔者・Down with Love」で使われていたマイケルのワンス・インマイライフはビッグバンドをバックにした彼の歌の魅力が満載。

で、すっかり気に入って、しばらくは車でこの曲ばかりをかけていた。

渋滞に嵌ると、一緒に歌っていたので、いつのまにか歌詞も完全に覚えてしまった。（笑）こちらで試聴可。

Michael Buble - For Once in My Life

といういことで、カラオケで歌える（歌ったことはないけど）レパートリーになってしまったといういわくつきの曲だが、come fly with me というライブのＤＶＤでは少しテンポを落として歌っている。

このＤＶＤには彼の魅力がてんこ盛り。

Once in my life

For once in my life
I got someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I've got love
I can make it
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me

At least for once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I've got love
I can make it
For once in my life
I've got someone
For once in my life
I've found someone
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me
