Manifest Destiny


Once losers saved
Dying heathens' lives
Heathens grow larger
And took their native land
Winners got the land
And prayed thanksgiving to their God
Winners sang that “God saved us
And gave us this land”

Once slaves migrated
From the south to the north
They sang blues everywhere
And sang blues to the death
Rulers trampled their rights
And prayed thanksgiving to their God
Rulers sang that “God blessed us
And gave us this workers”

Once losers fought
The invasion by other races
Invaders defeated
And colonized them
Winners got the land
And gave up faith of thanksgiving to their God
Winners thought that in the world,
Might is right, might is God

All we want to win
And repeat it forever…

【対訳】

かつて敗北者たちは
異教徒の命を救った
異教徒たちは数を増やすと
彼らの土地を奪った
土地を得た勝利者は
神に感謝の祈りを捧げ歌う
『神が我らの命を救い
我らにこの土地を与え給うた』

かつて奴隷たちは旅に出た
南部から北部に続く道を
彼らは行く先々でブルースを歌い
死ぬまでブルースを歌った
人権を踏みにじる支配者は
神に感謝の祈りを捧げ歌う
『神が我らを祝福し
我らにこの労働者を与え給うた』

かつて敗北者たちは
異民族の侵攻に抗い戦った
侵略者が彼らを打ち負かし
そこを植民地統治した
土地を得た勝利者は
神への感謝の祈りを棄て思う
『この世界では力こそが正義
力こそ神なり』

誰もが勝ちたいと欲し
それを永遠に繰り返す
