ルパートホルムズが 1978年にリーリースした4枚目のアルバム『PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS 』(幸福の追求)よりLess is moreの詞から、曲のアレンジメントも最高で好きなんですが、詞も素晴らしかった!
抜粋した和訳です。

「学べば学ぶ程/覚えることは少ない/
得れば得る程/借りが増える/
何か新しいものを探せば探す程/結局君の元へ戻っていく/
得れば得る程/借りが増える/
何か新しいものを探せば探す程/結局君の元へ戻っていく/
買えば買う程/熱中するものが少なくなる/
努力すればする程/失敗ばかりする/
読めば読む程/真実が見えなくなる/
求めれば求める程/自由ではいられなくなる
努力すればする程/失敗ばかりする/
読めば読む程/真実が見えなくなる/
求めれば求める程/自由ではいられなくなる
より少ないことは多いこと」
The more I learn, the less I know
The more I earn, the more I owe
The more I search for somethin' new
The more I come right back to you
I'll always need your love I guess
I've looked for more but more is less
You take me in, you take me slow
You let me be, you let me know
That less is more, less is more
Hold me tight and everything is right
Just like before
Oh, take it easy
Love is more, love is more
Love is more than all the empty dreams
Outside your door
Make it easy
The more you buy, the less you've sold
The more you try, the more you fold
The more you read, the less you see
The more you need, the less you're free
Do what you do, you do it best
Don't run the race with all the rest
You set the pace so easily
With all the moves you make on me
Less is more, less is more
Hold me tight and everything is right
Just like before
Oh, take it easy
Love is more, love is more
Love is more than all the empty dreams
Outside your door
Make it easy
And more and more I must confess
I find I'm needing less and less
Why take the climb, why take the fall?
When more is here and less is all
Love is here, love is there
Love is found with both feet on the ground
That you share
Take it easy
Less is more, less is more
Less is more than everything combined
That's gone before
Make it easy
The more I earn, the more I owe
The more I search for somethin' new
The more I come right back to you
I'll always need your love I guess
I've looked for more but more is less
You take me in, you take me slow
You let me be, you let me know
That less is more, less is more
Hold me tight and everything is right
Just like before
Oh, take it easy
Love is more, love is more
Love is more than all the empty dreams
Outside your door
Make it easy
The more you buy, the less you've sold
The more you try, the more you fold
The more you read, the less you see
The more you need, the less you're free
Do what you do, you do it best
Don't run the race with all the rest
You set the pace so easily
With all the moves you make on me
Less is more, less is more
Hold me tight and everything is right
Just like before
Oh, take it easy
Love is more, love is more
Love is more than all the empty dreams
Outside your door
Make it easy
And more and more I must confess
I find I'm needing less and less
Why take the climb, why take the fall?
When more is here and less is all
Love is here, love is there
Love is found with both feet on the ground
That you share
Take it easy
Less is more, less is more
Less is more than everything combined
That's gone before
Make it easy
