-------------------------------------------------------- The Ten-Commandments (dog version) 犬の十戒
1・My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. 私の一生は10〜15年くらいしかありません。
Any separation from you will painful for me. 私にとって少しでもあなたと離れていることは辛いのです。
Remember that before you buy me. 私のことを飼う前にどうかそのことを思い出してください。

3・Place your trust in me- it's crucial to my Well-being. 私を信頼して下さい。それは私が幸福になるためにとっても重要なことなのです。
4・Don't be angry at me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. 私を長い時間にわたって叱ったり、懲らしめるために閉じ込めたりしないで下さい。
You have your work,your entertainment and your friend. あなたには仕事や娯楽がありますし、友達だっているでしょう。
I have only you. でも……私にはあなただけしかいないのです。
5・Talk to me sometimes. 時には私に話しかけて下さい。
Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me. たとえあなたの言葉そのものは理解しなくても、 私に話しかけているあなたの声で理解しています。
6・Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it. あなたが私のことをどんな風に扱っているのか気づいて下さい。 私はそのことを決して忘れません。
7・Remember before you hit me that l have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand but that I choose not to bite you. 私を叩く前に思い出して下さい。 私にはあなたの手の骨を簡単に噛み砕くことができる歯が あるけれど、私はあなたを噛まないようにしているということを。
8・Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy,ask yourself if something might be bothering me. 私のことを協力的でない、強情だ、怠け者としかる前に 私がそうなる原因が何かないかとあなた自身考えてみて下さい。
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,or I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old andweak. 適切な食餌をあげなかったのでは? 日中太陽が照りつけている外に長時間放置していたのかも? 心臓が年をとるにつれて弱ってはいないだろうか?などと
9・Take care of me when I get old ; you, too, will grow old. 私が年をとってもどうか世話をして下さい。 あなたも同じように年をとるのです。
10・Go with me on difficult journeys. 最期の旅立ちの時には、そばにいて私を見送ってください。
Never say, "I can't bear to watch it ." or" Let it happen in my absence." 「見ているのがつらいから」とか「私のいないところで逝かせてあげて」 なんて言わないでほしいのです。
Everything is easier for me if you are there. 私はあなたが一緒にいるだけで、私にはどんなことでも安らかに受け入れられます。
Remember,I love you. そして………どうか忘れないで下さい。私があなたを愛していることを。
Please Come over to 81st street I'm in the apartment above the bar You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway and the tacky store with the mylar scarves My skin's as pale as outdoors moon my hair's silver like a Tiffany watch I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello and please don't touch
It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me The way to make friends Andy is invite them up for tea Open house, open house
I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite she's lady called Sam I made a paper doll of her, you can have it That's what I did when I had St.Vitus dance
It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me Give people little presents so they remember me Open house, open house
Someone bring the vegetables someone please bring heat My mother showed up yesterday we need something to eat
I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes The ones I drew were old and used, they told me to draw something new Open house, open house
Fly me to the moon fly me to a star But there are no stars in the New York sky they're all on the ground
You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint I drew 550 different shoes today, it almost made me faint Open house, open house Open house, open house
I've been waiting for so long To come here and sing this song Don't be fooled by what you see Don't be fooled by what you hear This is a song to all my friends They take the challenge to their hearts Challenging preconceived ideas Saying goodbye to long standing fears
Don't crack up Bend your brain See both sides Throw off your mental chains
OOOh! OOOh! OOOh!
I don't wanna be hip and cool I don't wanna play by the rules Not under the thumbs of the cynical few Or laden down by the doom crew.
Don't crack up Bend your brain See both sides Throw off your mental chains.....
I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I've said too much Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try andLaugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness Plead with you But I know that It's too late And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try tolaugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry
I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already Gone away
Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just Keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry
