Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

Highway 61 Revisited Columbia このアイテムの詳細を見る

Bob Dylanは１９４１年生まれだから、ここでみる映像は２５歳ぐらい、なんと若々しいことか！二度とこうはいかないから貴重な一瞬だったね。どっかの公民館のようなステージ、聴衆はお行儀よく静まりかえっていて彼だけがちょっとハイな感じ、ウットリ陶酔気味で少しヘンだったかもしれない。コンサート終わったらあっというまに車に乗り込んで、なんだろうなあ？まあ吟遊詩人だからしょうがないか！？映像を見るなら、これが変わっていてイイと思った。

あたらしモノ好きは世間ではほんの少しだけ、たいていは妙なものでてきた、変わんなくたっていいんじゃないと傍観、保守的なのだ。ここに、クリエータの面白みと辛さがある。ニブいギョーカイ人もギリでの仕事、アコＧとハーモニカからあたらしい音作りに挑戦し続けるDylanは、ひところブートレッグ盤のメジャー！？
Like a Rolling Stone、ハテ！？転がる石というのは、コムロさんのようにテンラクなのか、それとも動き回っての新たなチャレンジャーなのか！？．．．

おんなじことやってるヒトいるもんだなあ、もっともあっちのほうがずっと前から、むろん内容も豊かで曲と詞の扱いも懇切丁寧、好きこそモノの上手ナレですね。lyrics and music　洋楽で英語を楽しむのサイトに訳していただくとするか。でも、Dylan作ったのは４０年以上も前のことだしね．．．

どんな気分だい
どんな気分だい
一人で生きて
帰る家もなく
誰に知られることもなく
まるで転がる石のようだ...

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
