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
Debout sur les eaux jetant ton pain
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Alors que les yeux de l'idole à la tête de fer brillent
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
Des navires lointains naviguent dans la brume,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Tu es né avec un serpent dans chaque poing alors qu'un ouragan soufflait
Freedom just around the corner for you
La liberté est juste au coin pour toi
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Mais avec la vérité si loin, à quoi cela servira-t-il ?
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danse sur l'air du rossignol,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
L'oiseau vole haut à la lumière de la lune,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
Si rapidement le soleil se couche dans le ciel,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Tu te lèves et ne dis au revoir à personne
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Les fous se précipitent là où les anges craignent de marcher,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show why
Leurs deux futurs, si pleins de crainte, tu ne montres pas pourquoi
Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Enlevant une autre couche de peau,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Gardant une longueur d'avance sur le persécuteur intérieur
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Jokerman danse sur l'air du rossignol,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
L'oiseau vole haut à la lumière de la lune,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Tu es un homme des montagnes, tu peux marcher sur les nuages,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
Manipulateur de foules, tu es un tourneur de rêves
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
Tu vas à Sodome et Gomorrhe
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Mais qu'est-ce que ça peut te faire ? Il n'y a personne là-bas qui voudrait épouser ta sœur
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
Ami du martyr, ami de la femme de honte,
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
Eh bien, le Livre du Lévitique et du Deutéronome,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
La loi de la jungle et de la mer sont tes seuls enseignants
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,
Dans la fumée du crépuscule sur un destrier blanc comme le lait,
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Michel-Ange aurait pu sculpter tes traits
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,
Reposant dans les champs, loin de l'espace turbulent,
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
À moitié endormi près des étoiles avec un petit chien qui te lèche le visage

Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Le prédicateur cherche la même chose, qui arrivera le premier est incertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Matraques et canons à eau, gaz lacrymogènes, cadenas,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
Cocktails Molotov et rochers derrière chaque rideau,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Des juges au cœur faux mourant dans les toiles qu'ils tissent,
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
Ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que la nuit ne s'installe
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,

C'est un monde ombragé, les cieux sont d'un gris glissant,
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
Une femme vient de donner naissance à un prince aujourd'hui et l'a habillé en écarlate
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,
Il mettra le prêtre dans sa poche, mettra la lame à la chaleur,
Take the motherless children off the street
Prendra les enfants sans mère de la rue
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Et les placera aux pieds d'une prostituée

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

Pássaro voa alto à luz da lua,

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

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

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
