Is a treasure... because...
Having drinks with a young under 30 bureaucrat being transferred next week to his headquarter ministry...
I don't know if I'll ever see him, but I've learned I shall treasure every meeting, for it will never recur...
Wishing him well, I was also thinking about myself...
not good... not good... as nostalgia is wrapped around my finger...
は宝だ…だって…
来週、本省に異動する30歳以下の国家公務員と飲みながら…。
再び会うことがあるのかどうか分からないが、一期一会がいかに大切かは学んでいる…。
頑張ってくれと言いながら、自分のことも考えていた…。
良くないな…良くない…ノスタルジアが俺を包み込む…
Back at home...
I took this CD... listening to a song I used to listen to as a junior high kid... the first ever encounter with "rap" music and the great rock band at the same time!

the rap pioneers!
it's not the album my best friend bought at that time... the "Raising Hell" album... but I still remember the songs I sang which drastically heightened my English skills

家に帰って…
このCDを取り出した…中坊のときによく聞いていた唄を聞いて…「ラップ」音楽に初めて出会い、同時に偉大なロック・バンドにも出会った曲だ!
写真:ラップのパイオニア!
その頃、親友が買ったアルバムとは違う…アルバム「レイジング・ヘル」…でも俺の英語の能力をかなり向上させた曲の歌詞はまだ覚えてるよ
Walk This Way (S. Tyler-J. Perry) perfomed by RUN-D.M.C. and Aerosmith
[Run-D.M.C.]
Now there's a backseat/lover
That's always under/cover
And I talk til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen/nuthin
Til you're down on her/muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer/leader
That's a real big/pleaser
As far as I can remi/nisce
But the best thing/love it
Was her sister and her/cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She starts/swingin
With the boys in/tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin like it just don't care
So I took a big/chance
At the high school/dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was/foolin
Cause she knew what was she was/doin
when she told me how to walk this way
Chorus
[Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith]
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
(repeat 2 times)
(repeat all 2 times)
Well just gimme a kiss/some head!
Oooh, a-like this!
[Run-D.M.C.]
School girl/sleazy
With a/classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin way up her knee
It was three young ladies
In the school gym/locker
And they find they were lookin D
I was high school/loser
Never made it with a/lady
Til a boy told me somethin I missed
That my next door/neighbor
had a daughter/had a favor
And I gave the girl just a little kiss, like this
[Aerosmith]
She starts swingin with the boys in the school
with her feet flyin up in the air
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
I was swingin like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a miss who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin cause she knew what she was doin
when she told me how to walk this way
Chorus
ウォーク・ジス・ウェイ(Sタイラー・Jペリー)演奏はランDMCとエアロスミス
