As Long As You Love Me

★間接疑問(疑問詞/S/V)                        by Backstreet Boys

 

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine 

I'm leaving my life in your hands

 People say I'm crazy and that I am blind           

Risking it all in a glance 

And how you got me blind is still a mystery 

I can't get you out of my head

 Don't care what is written in your history 

 As long as you're here with me

 

*I don't care (      ) you (     )

            (      ) (      )'re from 

            (      ) you (      )

 As Long As You Love Me

            (      ) you (      ) 

            (      ) (      )'re from 

  Don't care (      ) you (      )  

 As long As You Love Me ・・

 

        (意味)

         君が (             ) なのか

         君が (             )から (              )のか

         君が (          )を (                )のか 

               なんて事は、僕は気にしない。

                     君が僕を愛してくれる限りは ・・                                          

Every little thing that you have said and done                        

 Feels like it's deep within me                

 Doesn't really matter if you're on the run

It seems like were meant to be       

                                       

( *Repeat )                            

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows  

But I guess it shows                       

When you look into my eyes       

What you did and where you're coming from          

I don't care, as long as you love me, baby 

( *Repeat x 2 )

~学習ポイント~

*間接疑問*

  疑問詞-V-S?の疑問文が主節に導かれて文の一部(従属節)になるときは疑問詞-S-Vの肯定文の語順に戻ることに注意しよう!

    Who are you ? → I don't care who you are.

    Where are you from ? → I don't care where you from.

    What did you do ? → I don't care what you did.

 

*As long as* you love me , 「キミが僕を愛してくれる限り,.....」

      as long as( 時間、期間、条件 )

              I'll help you as long as I stay here. 

             ( 期間 :私がここにいる間は、キミを手伝ってあげるよ) 

              You may stay here as long as you keep quiet.

             ( 条件 :キミが静かにしている限りは、ここにいていいよ)

 cf: as far as( 物理、知識、関係の範囲 )

               There is nothing as far as I can see . 

             ( 範囲 : 目で見える限り何もない )

                As far as I know , he is a good man . 

             ( 知識範囲 :私が知る限りでは、彼はいい人だよ )

                As far as I'm concerned ,I have no objection .

               ( 関係:私に関する限り、反対意見はありません)

 ♪As long as you love me, ・・・・♪
