Testo
While riding on a train goin' west
I feel asleep for take my a rest
I dreamed a dream that make me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin' and singing 'till the early hours of the morn'.
By the old wooden stove
where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were sung
Where we longed for nothin' and were satisfied
Joking and talking about the world outside.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Our chances really was a million to one.
As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled
would ever shatter and split.
How many a year has passed and gone
Many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I've never seen again.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
I feel asleep for take my a rest
I dreamed a dream that make me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin' and singing 'till the early hours of the morn'.
By the old wooden stove
where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were sung
Where we longed for nothin' and were satisfied
Joking and talking about the world outside.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Our chances really was a million to one.
As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled
would ever shatter and split.
How many a year has passed and gone
Many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I've never seen again.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
Il Sogno di Bob Dylan
Traduzione
Traduzione
Mentre viaggiavo su un treno diretto a Ovest
mi sono assopito
e ho fatto un sogno che mi ha reso triste
parlava di me e dei miei primi amici.
Con gli occhi umidi mi guardai intorno nella stanza
dove avevo passato tanti pomeriggi con gli amici
dove insieme avevamo affrontato tanti momenti difficili
Suonando e cantando fino alle prime ore del mattino.
Vicino ai vecchi fornelli in legno
dov'erano appesi i nostri berretti
parlavamo e scrivevamo canzoni
soddisfatti senza obiettivi da raggiungere
scherzando e parlando del mondo là fuori.
Cuori stregati dal calore e dal freddo
Non immaginavamo di poter diventare molto vecchi
pensavamo di poter divertirci per sempre
e la nostra possibilità era una su una milione.
Era così semplice distinguere il bianco dal nero
ed era così semplice distinguere il giusto dal torto
e le nostre scelte erano poche e non ci sfiorava il pensiero
che la strada sulla quale viaggiavamo
si sarebbe frantumata e divisa.
Quanti anni sono passati
molti azzardi sono stati vinti o persi
e molte strade intrapprese da molti amici
che non rividi mai più.
Desidero, desidero, desidero vanamente
poter sedere in quella stanza di nuovo
diecimila dollari in un istante
darei via se questo potesse avverarsi.
