やりすぎな気もするけれど、Donny HathawayのMagnificent Sanctuary Bandを以下のように訳してみた。
もともとの歌はすごくゴスペル＋ソウルって感じで教会で歌って団結しようぜ！って感じなんだけど、現代日本だとたぶんパッとしにくいと思うので、友人との連帯という感じで意訳してみたよ。
楽しい遊びだったのでまたやりたい…！ぜひご意見など聞かせてくれ〜！

Magnificent Sanctuary Band
⸻

イントロ

Do you remember how it felt when you went to your first parade?
ねえ
遠くでラッパがポーッと鳴ってさ

And how you saw that glorious marching band coming down the street?
大きな太鼓がドンと腹に来たの　覚えてる？

Well, try to imagine with me if you will that you were the first to see that band coming down the way, growing bigger and bigger and your heart pounding harder and harder.
あの音に気づいたとたんに　風景が近寄って
胸の鼓動まで　ドン・ドン・ドン

It always seemed to me that my heart was in perfect time with the big bass drum.
まるで縁日の太鼓だねぇ

Do you remember how you got that glory feeling? You feel it in your heart and in your mind and in your blood that some folks call religion.
こりゃあ拝んでもいいけど　拝まなくても充分ごちそうさ

⸻

Verse (1)

There are multitudes of people crying, because they just won’t see and try to understand.
泣いてる人が　駅前にも　河原にも　まだ多い

From the Book I read, not one but all must follow Him.
目を閉じてるひと　耳を塞いでるひと

Come and join the magnificent sanctuary band.
古い手帳のすみに　こんな走り書きがあった
「ひとりじゃつまらん　みんなで歌え」

There are multitudes of people dying; it seems like temptation rules over the land.
上着も荷物もベンチに置いて　こっちへおいでよ　友だちになろう

You know those people should remember His commandments.
疲れたら　缶コーヒーでもひっかけてさ
ポケットの中の約束を　思い出してごらんよ

Come and join the magnificent sanctuary band.
肩をならべて　ぼそぼそでもいい　声を出そう

⸻

Chorus

Singing in the band (singing in the band)
歌おうや　友だちと

Talking to the Man (talking to the Man)
しゃべろうや　友だちと

Bringing in the sheep all over the world just as fast as He can.
似たようなぼやきを　そっと持ち寄って

Drop everything you’re doing and join the sanctuary band.
いまやってることは　脇に置いてさ
こっちへおいでよ

⸻

Verse (2)

The Son of Man speaks of Revelations; He’s reaching out, reaching out His hand.
向こうの兄さんが　やわらかい声で言う
「こっちこっち　いっしょに歩こうや」

He has promised to bring us all salvation.
みんなまとめて　あの夕焼けまで連れてくってさ

Come and join the magnificent sanctuary band.
だからおいで　踏切を渡って　こっちへおいでよ

⸻

アウトロ

You better c’mon (march for Jesus)
ギターをポロロン　リズムがまわりはじめる

You better c’mon (march for the band)
迷ったこころに　ねえ　会いに行こうや

Bringing in the sheep all over the world just as fast as He can.
歩幅なんか気にせんと　鼻歌まじりで

Drop everything you’re doing and join the sanctuary band right now.
いま仕事や愚痴は　全部おいてさ
こっちへおいでよ
