森山良子ではなく、森山加代子の『じんじろげ』の元歌はインド民謡の『ヒラミルパニア』という曲だという説があるが、歌詞の中にベンガルという言葉が出てくるので、ベンガル地方の歌らしい。今度、バングラデシュに行ったら知っているか聞いてみよう。知らないだろうな。
森山加代子つながりで、Babs Tino の “Forgive Me”。ちょっとアナクロ？

Noelene Batley:
As much as I love you
As much as I need you
Like a fool, I let you down
Played around all over town!
Forgive me for giving you such a bad time
For making you blue
For making you sad
And for giving you such a bad time!
But I swear, if you just give me a chance to
I'll make it all up to you –
Forgive me for giving you such a bad time
I was wrong but I've learned –
Even fools live and learn
Like a fool I let you down
Played around all over town!
Forgive me for giving you such a bad time
For making you blue
For making you sad
And for giving you such a bad time
But I swear, if you just give me a chance to
I'll make it all up to you –
Forgive me for giving you such a bad time
I was wrong but I've learned –
Even fools live and learn
