Summertime lyrics
Songwriters: George & Ira Gershwin, Du Bose & Dorothy Heyward


Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But 'til that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy
Standing by
Don't you cry



夏が来ると
暮らしも楽だ
魚は飛び跳ね
綿花も育つ

父さんは金持ちになるし
母さんは美人じゃないか
だから坊や、泣くのはおよし

いつの朝か
お前は歌い出し
翼を広げ
大空へ羽ばたいていくだろう

けれど その朝が来るまでは
お前を傷つけるものは 何もない
父さんと母さんが 側にいるから...
