先日 紹介した映画の「A League Of Their Own」のエンディングに挿入されているマドンナの「This Used Be My Playground」です。
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because
Life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
.......
Life is short ― 遠い昔、義経の好きな彼女( = 妻 )と平泉の戦いの跡を訪ねた時を始め、走馬灯のようにいろいろな情景が、そして憧憬が浮かぶことがあります。
残りの人生をどう意義あるものにしていきましょうか。平泉とは場所が異なりますが、知将・知盛のような言葉を残して往生したいのですが。
全然知りませんでしたが、WikiによるとBillboardで1位になっているのですね。マイナーな曲かと思っていました。
ご参考

This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because
Life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
(verses from long & movie version:)
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday
Those are words I'll never say
This used to be my playground
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
(verse from single & movie version:)
This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
(verse from movie version:)
This used to be our playground
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me
