Many Rivers To Cross
川。

映画「ハイ・フィデリティ」で、主人公が葬式の時にかけてほしい曲としてあげた中にジミー・クリフの名曲「メニー・リヴァース・トゥ・クロス」(69年)がありました。(11月9日の日記参照) 

で、その曲、今日本の車のCMに使われてるんですね。すばるのレガシーのバックで流れていました。

この曲で思い出すのが、映画「ジェイソンズ・リリック」(94年)のラストシーン。ここでは、オリータ・アダムスのヴァージョンが流れてきました。渡るべき多くの川がある・・・。いいですねえ。川、橋・・・。いろいろな作品が生まれるテーマです。

Many Rivers To Cross

[Jimmy Cliff]

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I got try
Many rivers to cross but where to begin
I'm playing for time
There'll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride
