Enola Gay - nihongoのブログ

もう一曲、印象に残った曲、エノラ・ゲイ。

　エノラ・ゲイは広島に原爆を落とした爆撃機ですが、このYou Tubeでは、長崎の様子が出てきます。浦上の破壊された天主堂の様子が出てくる。（ああ、『ナガサキ　消えたもう一つの「原爆ドーム」』を読まなければ！）

　歌詞は次の通り。

　Enola gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play, they're gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha enola gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
Enola gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha enola gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

　ついでにGood Morning Lebanon。このシーンも強烈だったなあ。

　『沈黙を破る』で語られていた、戦車で車を踏みつぶして進むというのは、これかあ！と思いましたよ。
