Jokerman
Bob Dylan
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show why
Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame,
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray,
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants,
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Standing on the waters casting your bread
In piedi sulle acque gettando il tuo pane
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Mentre gli occhi dell'idolo con la testa di ferro stanno brillando
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
Navi lontane che navigano nella nebbia,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Sei nato con un serpente in entrambi i pugni mentre soffiava un uragano
Freedom just around the corner for you
La libertà è proprio dietro l'angolo per te
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Ma con la verità così lontana, che bene farà?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Uccello vola alto alla luce della luna,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
Così rapidamente il sole tramonta nel cielo,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Ti alzi e non dici addio a nessuno
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Gli sciocchi si precipitano dove gli angeli temono di calpestare,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show why
Entrambi i loro futuri, così pieni di paura, non mostri perché
Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Stai perdendo un altro strato di pelle,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Rimani un passo avanti al persecutore interno
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Uccello vola alto alla luce della luna,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Sei un uomo delle montagne, puoi camminare sulle nuvole,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
Manipolatore di folle, sei un sognatore
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
Stai andando a Sodoma e Gomorra
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Ma cosa ti importa? Non c'è nessuno lì che vorrebbe sposare tua sorella
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
Amico del martire, amico della donna di vergogna,
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name
Guardi nel forno ardente, vedi il ricco senza nome
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Uccello vola alto alla luce della luna,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
Beh, il Libro del Levitico e del Deuteronomio,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
La legge della giungla e del mare sono i tuoi unici insegnanti
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,
Nel fumo del crepuscolo su un destriero bianco come il latte,
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Michelangelo davvero avrebbe potuto scolpire i tuoi lineamenti
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,
Riposando nei campi, lontano dallo spazio turbolento,
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
Mezzo addormentato vicino alle stelle con un piccolo cane che ti lecca il viso
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Uccello vola alto alla luce della luna,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame,
Beh, il fuciliere sta braccando i malati e i zoppi,
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Il predicatore cerca lo stesso, chi arriverà per primo è incerto
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Manganelli e cannoni ad acqua, lacrimogeni, lucchetti,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
Cocktail Molotov e rocce dietro ogni tenda,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Giudici dal cuore falso che muoiono nelle ragnatele che tessono,
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
Solo questione di tempo prima che la notte arrivi a passi felpati
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Uccello vola alto alla luce della luna,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray,
È un mondo ombroso, i cieli sono grigi e scivolosi,
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
Una donna ha appena dato alla luce un principe oggi e lo ha vestito di scarlatto
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,
Metterà il prete in tasca, metterà la lama al calore,
Take the motherless children off the street
Prenderà i bambini senza madre dalla strada
And place them at the feet of a harlot
E li metterà ai piedi di una prostituta
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants,
Oh, Jokerman, tu sai cosa vuole,
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response
Oh, Jokerman, non mostri alcuna risposta
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danza al ritmo dell'usignolo,

Standing on the waters casting your bread
De pé sobre as águas lançando o seu pão
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Enquanto os olhos do ídolo com a cabeça de ferro estão brilhando
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
Navios distantes navegando na névoa,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Você nasceu com uma cobra em ambas as suas mãos enquanto um furacão estava soprando
Freedom just around the corner for you
Liberdade logo ali na esquina para você
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Mas com a verdade tão distante, de que adianta?

Pássaro voa alto à luz da lua,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
Tão rapidamente o sol se põe no céu,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Você se levanta e não diz adeus a ninguém
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Tolos se apressam onde anjos temem pisar,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show why
Ambos os seus futuros, tão cheios de medo, você não mostra o porquê
Shedding off one more layer of skin,

Sementara mata berhala dengan kepala besi sedang membara
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
Kapal-kapal jauh berlayar ke dalam kabut,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Kamu dilahirkan dengan ular di kedua tanganmu saat badai sedang berhembus
Freedom just around the corner for you
Kebebasan ada di depan mata untukmu
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Tapi dengan kebenaran yang begitu jauh, apa gunanya?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman menari dengan irama burung bulbul,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Burung terbang tinggi dengan cahaya bulan,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
Begitu cepat matahari terbenam di langit,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Kamu bangkit dan tidak mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada siapa pun
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Orang bodoh berlari masuk ke tempat malaikat takut melangkah,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show why
Masa depan mereka berdua, begitu penuh dengan ketakutan, kamu tidak menunjukkan alasannya
Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Mengelupas satu lapisan kulit lagi,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Selalu selangkah di depan penganiaya di dalam diri
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman menari dengan irama burung bulbul,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Burung terbang tinggi dengan cahaya bulan,

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Kamu adalah pria pegunungan, kamu bisa berjalan di atas awan,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
Pengendali kerumunan, kamu adalah pemutar mimpi
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
Kamu akan pergi ke Sodom dan Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Tapi apa pedulimu? Tidak ada orang di sana yang ingin menikahi saudaramu
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
Teman bagi martir, teman bagi wanita yang dipermalukan,

Nah, penembak jitu mengincar orang sakit dan lemah,
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Pendeta mencari yang sama, siapa yang akan sampai di sana pertama kali tidak pasti
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Tongkat malam dan meriam air, gas air mata, gembok,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
Molotov dan batu di belakang setiap tirai,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Hakim berhati palsu mati dalam jaringan yang mereka buat,

Hanya masalah waktu sampai malam datang melangkah masuk

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray,
Ini adalah dunia yang penuh bayangan, langit berwarna abu-abu licin,
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
Seorang wanita baru saja melahirkan seorang pangeran hari ini dan mengenakannya pakaian merah
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,
Dia akan memasukkan pendeta ke dalam sakunya, memanaskan pisau,
Take the motherless children off the street
Mengambil anak-anak tanpa ibu dari jalanan
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Dan menempatkan mereka di kaki seorang pelacur
