Carole King - It Could Have Been Anyone Lyrics






Do you know that you know me like nobody else
All of my secrets and lies
Do you know that you made me believe in myself
Made me believe I could fly
All the things that you say
That I wait for each day
You're almost too good to be true

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you

Well you just never know when the moment will come
When love is about to begin
Something about someone reaching out
And letting someone in
And I'm glad I was there
When out of thin air
We both had nothing to do

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to

One day we'll find out
Why you were sent to me
Now we're together
It must be the way it was meant to be

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you

    📧《Let me translate the words of this song into Japanese…》📚

    ♪以下はこの曲の拙訳になりますー鑑賞の際の参考になれば幸いです。。。


    不思議ね、なんで貴方と居ると、ずっと自分らしく居られるのかしらーこれまで出逢った他の誰より

    声を聞けばわかるわ、その顔を見ればねー貴方はもう消せない想い出になっちゃってるの

    貴方はひょっとしたら全然違う誰かだったかも知れないーなんの前触れもなく現れた見知らぬ人…すごく嬉しいの、それが貴方で【1】

    予期してたわけじゃない、わかってたわけじゃねー突然奇跡があたしに舞い降りたの

    貴方の腕のなかで安らぎながら、はっきりと言い切れるわ、この世界に貴方に隠しておきたいことなんかこれっぽっちもないって【2】

    貴方はひょっとしたら全然違う誰かだったかも知れないーいきなり訪ねてきた旧い友達…すごく嬉しいの、それが貴方で【3】

    言葉は人を傷つけたりする、もし野放しにしておけばねー人々は言葉を口にし、それを忘れてしまう /言葉は約束も出来るけど、言葉は嘘だってつくわーでも貴方の言葉はあたしを空でも翔べちゃうような気分にさせるのよ…

    貴方はひょっとしたら全然違う誰かだったかも知れないー足を滑らせたあたしを受け止めてくれる安全ネット…すごく嬉しいの、それが貴方で 

    貴方はひょっとしたら全然違う誰かだったかも知れないーいきなり訪ねてきた旧い友達…すごく嬉しいの、それが貴方で

    全然違う誰かだったかも知れないー貴方はひょっとしたら全然違う誰かだったかも知れないー全然違う誰かだったかも知れないーすごく嬉しいの、それが貴方であってくれて…


    【脚注1】タイトルにもなっている ”You could have been anyone at all” だが、まず形としては “反実仮想 (実際には起きなかった事柄に対する推測)” なので《もしかしたら~だったかも知れない》となり、ラストの ’at all’ の「全然~ない」というニュアンスを加えて上記のごとく訳してみた。

    【脚注2】’keep A from B’ は《 A (情報など) をBに知らせない、隠しておく》の意。

    【脚注3】詰まりは「旧い友達 (ウェブ上で親しくしていた誰か)」 が貴方 (現に知っている相手) だったことが嬉しいーといった意味合いか?ちなみに三連目では逆に「突然現れた見知らぬ人 (知り合いになった誰か)」が貴方 (ウェブ上で親しくしていた相手) だったことが嬉しいーと詠われている。


    ♪巨匠エルンスト・ルビッチによる傑作コメディ『THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (邦題:桃色の店 /街角)』(1940) を現代風に翻案した1998年の映画『YOU’VE GOT A MAIL (邦題:ユー・ガット・メール)』の挿入歌で、この作品のために Carole King が書き下ろしたオリジナル曲ーちなみに作詞は Carole Bayer Sager である。チャット上で親しくなった相手と現実の気になる男性がじつは同一人物と気付かず思い悩むーという映画のストーリーを巧く反映したベイヤー・セーガーの女性らしい肌理細やかな歌詞も良いが、やはりなんと言っても斯界のレジェンドたるキャロル・キングの、その甘ずっぱさ全開の切ないメロディ・ライン (とりわけ効果的な “落ちサビ” とか…)と、衰えをいっさい知らぬフレッシュ極まりない唄いぶりには脱帽するっきゃないー 当時「キャロキン健在なり!」を強く印象づけられた感があったが、今回初めて観たこのMV(?)での彼女も若い若い…今で言う美魔女さながらであるwwそれだけ私生活含め充実してたんだろうなぁー

  15. B.... M....

    Reconnected with my college crush 40 years later and this is my song. One of my absolutely favorite movies.

  16. D.... F....

    Stunning song, beautifully sung. That's real talent.

  17. A.... L....

    I met my husband on a dating site lol💜💙💚💛🧡❤

  18. M.... K....

    One of my favorite song all the time

  19. T.... ....

    I am so happy I have found this video. I love the soundtrack of this movie and it was unfair to have this song only as part of the credits just at the end.It is such a perfect song!

  20. K.... S....

    Love this movie and have watched it several times over the years and probably will again. The detail, the music, and How people come together, forgiveness, and the phases we go through, and of course LOVE, the all-time denominator...

  21. S.... ....

    You’ve become the memory I can’t erase

  22. F.... P....

    so undderated

    F.... P....

    FRANCO PEREZ yes. Makes me wanna cry everytime

  23. A.... R....

    Funny how I feel more myself with you
    Than anybody else that I ever knew
    I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
    You've become the memory I can't erase

    You could have been anyone at all
    A stranger falling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    It wasn't in the plan, not that I could see
    Suddenly a miracle came to me
    Safe within your arms I can say what's true
    Nothing in the world I would keep from you

    You could have been anyone at all
    An old friend falling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    Words can hurt you if you let them
    People say them and forget them
    Words can promise
    Words can lie
    But your words make me feel like I can fly

    You could have been anyone at all
    A net that catches me when I fall
    I'm so glad it was you

    You could have been anyone at all
    An old friend calling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    Anyone at all
    You could have been anyone at all
    Anyone at all
    I'm so glad it was you

  24. A.... S....

    Linda canção abraço

  25. A.... M....

    I'm so glad it was you.

  26. E.... A....

    How happy I was

  27. o.... h....

    this song , every word reminds me of someone really special.

  28. S.... H....

    Paul Huckins III - I'm so glad it was you!!!! I miss my life with you!!! You were my life and now you are with the Lord!

    S.... H....

    I am sorry for you loss !

  29. S.... ....

    Darin....this will always be "our love song".....Love you

  30. r.... ....

    And not forgetting co-written by Carole Bayer Sager. The tone is Carole King, straight out of the sixties, but the feel is pure Carole Bayer Sager. Beutiful lyrics full of loss and longing. It could have slotted straight in to her eponymous album, (which was co-written with Peter Allen), next to `I'd rather leave when I'm in love`.

  31. t.... b....

    Love this song, but for the life of me I dont remember it being in the movie

    t.... b....

    It plays during the end credits.

    t.... b....

    Oh, thank you.

  32. T.... G....

    Not sure if i miss the 90s or i just miss being a kid

    T.... G....

    The same feeling 😔
    Maybe i miss when i was kid (happy, never think or worry about anything) but 90's was amazing we should admet it ♥️
    Todays everything is fake, without soul.. Just emptiness 😔

  33. P.... P....

    I've been looking for this music video for years. I remember watching You've Got Mail on laser disc with my parents when i was a kid and i heard this song. I fell in love with the melody, but as a kid, i didn;t understand the lyrics, nor the title. But this song stuck in my memory since then. I often found myself humming to the chorus, but still didn't know the title. Until i was in college, i found a second-hand cassette of You've Got Mail OST in a flea market in Jakarta, Indonesia. That was the moment i knew the title of this song. It is a very beautiful song that will make you want to fall in love with someone. When you're listening to this song, you'd find yourself smiling to yourself for no reason. Like this song has an ability to recall the sweetest memories in your life. Thank you carole King for such a very beautiful song. Anyway, Why is it so hard to find the original Anyone At All in iTunes or spotify?

    P.... P....

    Picture Play same here. Cant get one of it at spotify jeez

    P.... P....

    Wow. Funny how I feel....(pls dont hum to it :D lol). A part of your story has got some sort of same difference with mine. This song really got me good; I watched the film back in '98 when I was a teenager --and listened to its OST. on some local radio. And it's been "stuck" in my head ever since. Anyway, I decided to rewatch the movie couple of hours ago and the movie just brought me here as I was curious of Carole King's appearance. Sorry for littering on yer commentary in 2018. Makasih.

    P.... P....

    Well said

    P.... P....

    It’s on iTunes but u have to buy the whole album. Btw this song makes me think of my nana every time I listen to it

  34. �.... �....

    Funny how I feel more myself with you
    Than anybody else that I ever knew
    I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
    You've become the memory I can't erase

    You could have been anyone at all
    A stranger falling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    It wasn't in the plan, not that I could see
    Suddenly a miracle came to me
    Safe within your arms, I can say what's true
    Nothing in the world I would keep from you

    You could have been anyone at all
    An old friend calling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    Words can hurt you, if you let them
    People say them and forget them
    Words can promise, words can lie
    But your words make me feel like I can fly

    You could have been anyone at all
    A net that catches me when I fall
    I'm so glad it was you

    You could have been anyone at all
    An old friend calling out of the blue
    I'm so glad it was you

    Anyone at all
    Anyone at all
    Anyone at all
    So glad it was you
