You can dance every dance with the guy
貴女はその男と踊っていいよ
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
彼が目で合図するなら、抱きかかえてもらってくれ
You can smile every smile for the man

But don’t forget who’s takin’ you home

[Verse 2]
Oh I know that the music’s fine
音楽が素敵で

Laugh and sing, but while we’re apart
笑って歌って、でも私たち二人が離れていても
Don’t give your heart to anyone
ハートを渡してはいけない
[Chorus]
And don’t forget who’s takin’ you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
So darlin’ save the last dance for me
そして、誰が貴女を家に連れて行くかお忘れなく
誰の腕のなかにいるのかもね
だから、ラストダンスは私に
[Verse 3]
Baby don’t you know I love you so
わかるでしょ、どれだけ貴女を愛しているか
Can’t you feel it when we touch
お互いが触れ合ったときに感じるでしょ
I will never never let you go
貴女を決して離しはしない
I love you oh so much
心の底から愛している
[Verse 4]
You can dance, go and carry on
踊って、続けてくれていいよ
Till the night is gone
夜が終わるまで（注2）
And it’s time to go
帰る時間になって
If he asks if you’re all alone
彼が、貴女は独りぼっちか、
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
家まで送ろう、と訊いても、ノーと言うこと！（注3）
[Chorus]
Cause don’t forget who’s taking you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
Save the last dance for me
なぜなら、誰が貴女を家に連れて行くかお忘れなく
誰の腕のなかにいるのかもね
だから、ラストダンスは私に
[Verse 5]
Oh I know that the music’s fine
Like sparklin’ wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we’re apart
Don’t give your heart to anyone

だから、ラストダンスは私に
Ooooh
Baby won’t you save the last dance for me
You make the promise that you save the last dance for me
Save the last dance
The very last dance
For me!
ラストダンスを私にとっておいてくれないか
ラストダンスを私にとっておいてくれ
ラストダンスを
一番最後のラストダンスを
私に
■補足説明
（注1）And in whose arms you’re gonna be
「誰の腕のなかにいるのかもね」はダンスを踊ることを意味していると思われますが、直訳にとどめました。岩谷時子氏の日本語歌詞（女性歌手向け）では「最後の踊りだけは、胸に抱かれて踊る」と明示しています。
（注2）Till the night is gone
「夜が終わるまで」とは、朝までというよりも「このパーティーが終わるまで」、と言う意味と解釈しています。
（注3）Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
walk you home は「貴女（あるいは誰か）を家まで送っていく」と言う意味です。

◆ Early Life
Michael Steven Bublé was born in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada on September 9, 1975 to Lewis Bublé, a fisherman from the island of Lussino (today Lošinj in Croatia) of Italian, or more specifically Venetian origins, and Amber (née Santaga). He has two younger sisters, Brandee, a children’s book author, and Crystal, an actress. He and his siblings were raised Roman Catholic. He attended Seaforth Elementary School and Cariboo Hill Secondary School.
本名マイケル・スティーブン・ブーブレ、1975年9月9日、カナダ・ブリティッシュコロンビア州バーナビ生まれ、44歳。父ルイス・ブーブレは漁師、イタリア・ヴェネツィア・ルッシーノ島（現クロアチア領）出身、母アンバー（旧姓サンタガ）。妹が2人；ブランデー（子供の本の著者）、クリスタル（女優）。 皆ローマカトリック教徒として育てられました。 シーフォース小学校、カリブーヒル中学校に通いました。
According to an Oprah Winfrey interview on October 9, 2009, Bublé had dreamed of becoming a famous singer since he was two. When he was a teenager, he slept with his Bible and prayed to become a singer. His interest in jazz began at around age five when his family played Bing Crosby’s White Christmas album.
2歳の時から有名な歌手になることを夢見ていて、ティーンエイジャーのこ頃は、聖書と眠り、歌手になるために祈っていました。 家族がビングクロスビーのホワイトクリスマスアルバムを演奏した5歳頃からジャズへの関心が高まりました。（オプラ・ウィンフリーのインタビュー2009.10.9）
■Michael Bublé version
The long-life song was heavily remixed and produced by Ralphi Rosario, Eddie Baez and their team. The single first peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart in September 2005. After Bublé performed the album version of the song during the closing credits of the film The Wedding Date, this version was released to radio, peaking at #5 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, as well as reaching #99 on the Billboard Hot 100.
ラルフィ・ロザリオとエディ・バエズによってリミックス、プロデュースされました。シングルは、最初2005年9月にthe Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chartの＃22位となりました。米国映画 The Wedding Date の 本編後のクレジットのところで流れた後、ラジオでも流され、とthe Billboard adult contemporary chart で#5位、the Billboard Hot 100で＃99位となりました。
The music video for the track was once again directed by Noble Jones, who directed the videos for both of the album’s previous singles – Home and Feeling Good. The music video was choreographed by Raymondo Chan, a Salsa Latin dance coach and performer. It was shot in Vancouver, Canada.
ミュージックビデオは、サルサラテンダンスのコーチ兼パフォーマーであるレイモンド・チャン（Raymondo Chan）によって振り付けされ、本人も登場しています。カナダのバンクーバーで撮影されました。
■Drifters’ version (the original)
Released August 1960
Genre R&B
Length 2:34
Label Atlantic
Songwriter(s) Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman
Producer(s) Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
In a 1990 interview, songwriter Doc Pomus tells the story of the song being recorded by the Drifters and originally designated as the B-side of the record. He credits Dick Clark with turning the record over and realizing “Save The Last Dance” was the stronger song. The Drifters’ version of the song, released a few months after Ben E. King left the group, would go on to spend three non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the U.S. pop chart, in addition to logging one week atop the U.S. R&B chart. In the UK The Drifters’ recording reached #2 in December 1960.
1990年のインタビューで、作詞のDoc Pomusは、この曲は最初、レコードのB面用だった、と言います。ベン・E・キングがグループを去った数ヶ月後にリリースされたこのドリフターズ版は、米国のポップチャートで1位で3週間連続、さらに米国のR＆Bで1週間を記録。英国では、1960年12月に2位。
In the song, the narrator tells his lover she is free to mingle and socialize throughout the evening, but to make sure to save him the dance at the end of the night. The was reportedly written on the day of Pomus’ wedding while the wheelchair-bound groom watched his bride dancing with their guests. Pomus had polio and at times used crutches to get around. His wife, Willi Burke, however, was a Broadway actress and dancer. The song gives his perspective of telling his wife to have fun dancing, but reminds her who will be taking her home and “in whose arms you’re gonna be.”
この歌詞（Lyrics）は、作詞者のDoc Pomus 自らの結婚式で、花嫁 Willi Burke（ブロードウェイの女優、ダンサー）がゲストと踊るのを車椅子から見ながら書いた、と言われています。Doc Pomus は小児麻痺（polio）で、松葉杖を使って移動していました。この歌は、妻に楽しいダンスをするように伝えるという彼の見方を示していますが、彼女を家に連れて帰り、”in whose arms you’re gonna be” とは、作詞者 Doc Pomus 自身の言葉のはずです。

◆歌詞 Lyrics
貴方の好きな人と踊ってらしていいわ
やさしい微笑みも
その方に　おあげなさい
けれども　私がここにいることだけ
どうぞ　忘れないで
ダンスはお酒みたいに心を酔わせるわ
だけど　お願いね
ハートだけは　とられないで
そして私の爲　残して置いてね
最後の踊りだけは
貴方に夢中なの　いつか二人で
誰も来ない処へ　旅に出るのよ
どうぞ踊ってらしゃい
私ここで待っているわ
だけど送って欲しいと頼まれたら
断ってね
いつでも　私がここに居ることだけ
どうぞ　忘れないで
きっと私の爲　残して置いてね
最後の踊りだけは
胸に抱かれて踊る
ラストダンス　忘れないで
