Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands
Bob Dylan
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
Oh, do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
Who could they get to carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I put them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I put them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold
And your saint-like face and your ghostlike soul
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
Con la tua bocca di mercurio nei tempi missionari
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
E i tuoi occhi come fumo e le tue preghiere come rime
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
E la tua croce d'argento, e la tua voce come campane
Oh, do they think could bury you?
Oh, pensano di poterti seppellire?
With your pockets well protected at last
Con le tue tasche ben protette alla fine
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
E le tue visioni di tram che posizionavi sull'erba
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
E la tua carne come seta, e il tuo viso come vetro
Who could they get to carry you?
Chi potrebbero trovare per portarti?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Triste signora delle terre basse
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
Dove il profeta dagli occhi tristi dice che nessun uomo viene
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
I miei occhi da magazzino, i miei tamburi arabi
Should I put them by your gate
Dovrei metterli al tuo cancello
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
O, triste signora, dovrei aspettare?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
Con le tue lenzuola come metallo e la tua cintura come pizzo
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
E il tuo mazzo di carte che manca del jack e dell'asso
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
E i tuoi vestiti da seminterrato e il tuo viso vuoto
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
Chi tra loro può pensare di poterti superare?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Con la tua silhouette quando la luce del sole si attenua
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
Nei tuoi occhi dove nuota la luce della luna
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns
E le tue canzoni da fiammifero e i tuoi inni zingari
Who among them would try to impress you?
Chi tra loro proverebbe a impressionarti?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Triste signora delle terre basse
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

O, triste signora, dovrei aspettare?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
I re di Tiro con la loro lista di condannati
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
Stanno aspettando in fila per il loro bacio di geranio
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this
E tu non avresti saputo che sarebbe successo così
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
Ma chi tra loro vuole davvero solo baciarti?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug
Con le tue fiamme infantili sul tuo tappeto di mezzanotte
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs
E i tuoi modi spagnoli e i farmaci di tua madre
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
E la tua bocca da cowboy e i tuoi tappi per il coprifuoco
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Chi tra loro pensi potrebbe resisterti?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Triste signora delle terre basse,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

I miei occhi da magazzino, i miei tamburi arabi
Should I leave them by your gate
Dovrei lasciarli al tuo cancello
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
O, triste signora, dovrei aspettare?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
Oh, gli agricoltori e gli uomini d'affari, hanno tutti deciso
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide
Di mostrarti gli angeli morti che erano soliti nascondere
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Ma perché hanno scelto te per simpatizzare con il loro lato?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
Oh, come avrebbero potuto mai confonderti?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm
Avrebbero voluto che tu accettassi la colpa per la fattoria
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm
Ma con il mare ai tuoi piedi e il falso allarme fasullo
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
E con il figlio di un teppista avvolto nelle tue braccia
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Come avrebbero potuto mai, mai persuaderti?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Triste signora delle terre basse
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

O, triste signora, dovrei aspettare?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
Con il tuo ricordo di latta di Cannery Row
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
E il tuo marito da rivista che un giorno ha dovuto andarsene
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show
E la tua gentilezza ora, che non puoi fare a meno di mostrare
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Chi tra loro pensi che ti assumerebbe?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
Ora stai con il tuo ladro, sei in libertà vigilata
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold
Con il tuo medaglione sacro che le tue dita piegano
And your saint-like face and your ghostlike soul
E il tuo viso da santa e la tua anima fantasma
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
Oh, chi tra loro pensi che potrebbe distruggerti?

Oh, do they think could bury you?
Oh, eles pensam que poderiam te enterrar?
