[Cowboy Bebop OST] Yamane Mai - Gotta Knock a little harder

일본 애니메이션의 걸작 중의 걸작인 <카우보이 비밥 : 천국의 문> 엔딩곡인 "Gotta Knock a little harder."
카우보이 비밥 OST 중 가장 좋아하는 곡이기도 하죠.
야마네 마이라는 일본 여가수가 부른 곡인데, 호소력있는 보컬이 아주 일품입니다.
특히나 Gotta Knock a little harder를 토해내는 마지막 부분은 이 곡의 압권.
조금 더 강하게 맞서야만 한다는 뜻을 가진 Gotta Knock a little harder.
뜻을 알고 후렴부를 들으면 더욱더 심장을 찌를 것 입니다.



Gotta Knock a little harder
- Yamane Mai
- 작사 : Tim Jense
- 작곡 : Kanno Yoko


Happiness is just a word to me
And it might have meant a thing or two
If I'd had known the difference

Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference

Always keepin' safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in

Let me tell you some have tried
But would slam the door so tight
That they could never get in

Kept my cool under a lock and key
And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condition

Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run
The main events at my condition

I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Cain
Into a blind submission

The burning ghost without a name
Was still calling all the same
But I just would'nt listen

The longer I'd stall
The futherr I'd crawl
The futherr I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire

The more that I saw
The futherr I'd fall
The futherr I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existence

Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse than this
But could I go the distance

I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of chain
Until they all were broken

But no matter how I tried
The other side was locked so tight
The door it wouldn't open

Gave it all that I got
And atarted to knock
Should for someone
To open the lock
I just gotta break through the door

Gotta knock a littlt harder
Gotta knock a littlt harder
Gotta knock a littlt harder
Break through the door
