Bob Dylan-《A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall》：
大雨將至
喂，你到哪兒去了，我的藍眼睛的兒子？
喂，你到哪兒去了，我親愛的年輕人？
我在那十二座煙雨迷蒙的山腳下迷了路
我連滾帶爬地走過六條高速公路
我走進了一片悲傷的森林
我走出森林又遇到了一打死亡之海
我走過一萬哩路，卻總是走不出墳墓
那猛烈的、呼嘯的、急驟的、瘋狂的、
那瓢潑般的大雨將要來臨
喂，你看到了什么，我的藍眼睛的兒子？
喂，你看到了什么，我親愛的年輕人？
我看到一群野狼圍住了一個剛出生的嬰兒
我看到一條鋪滿鉆石的大道上竟然沒有一個人
我看到焦黑的樹枝上鮮紅欲滴的血
我看到一屋子的人手上都拿著一把沾血的榔頭
我看到一把白色的梯子浸在水中
我看到一萬個有話要說的人的舌頭都被割去
我看到孩子們手里拿著槍和利劍
那猛烈的、呼嘯的、急驟的、瘋狂的、
那瓢潑般的大雨將要來臨
喂，你聽見了什么，我藍眼睛的兒子？
喂，你聽見了什么，我親愛的年輕人？
我聽見轟鳴的雷聲發(fā)出了警告
我聽見呼嘯的海浪似乎要吞噬整個世界
我聽見一百名鼓手正急速地敲著大鼓
我聽見一萬個人正在小聲說話，卻沒人在聽
我聽見一個人正在挨餓，許多人卻在狂笑
我聽見一個詩人的歌，可他已經(jīng)倒在街溝邊死去
我聽見一個小丑正在街角哭泣
那猛烈的、呼嘯的、急驟的、瘋狂的、
那瓢潑般的大雨將要來臨
喂，你遇到了什么，我藍眼睛的兒子？
喂，你遇到了什么，我親愛的年輕人？
我遇到一個孩子和一匹死去的小馬
我遇到一個白人在溜一只黑狗
我遇到一個年輕的女人，她的身體正在燃燒
我遇到一個年輕的姑娘，她給我一條彩虹
我遇到一個人，他被愛所傷
我遇到另一個人，他被恨所害
那猛烈的、呼嘯的、急驟的、瘋狂的、
那瓢潑般的大雨將要來臨
喂，你將要做什么，我藍眼睛的兒子？
喂，你將要做什么，我親愛的年輕人？
我將在下雨之前離開那里
我將走進那幽暗的森林的深處
那里會有許多人，他們兩手空空
那里的水中全是毒藥
那里山谷中的房子緊挨著潮濕骯臟的監(jiān)獄
那里劊子手的臉總是隱藏在暗處
那里饑餓是丑陋的，靈魂被遺忘了
那里黑色是惟一的顏色，零是惟一的數(shù)字
然后我要說話、要講述、要捉摸、要思考
我要把事實講出來，讓所有的靈魂都看見
然后我要站在海面上，直到我開始下沉
但我知道我的歌將會傳唱下去
那猛烈的、呼嘯的、急驟的、瘋狂的、
那瓢潑般的大雨將要來臨
A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it’s hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tougues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young childern
And it’s hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it’s hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gives me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it’s hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
I’m a-goin’ back out ‘fore the rain starts a-fallin’
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner’s face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
And it’s hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
