Like a rolling stone
经典就是经典, 再老几年他仍然还是. 如果一个人说他没听过这首歌, 那他一定没听过Dylan, 一定也没真正听过欧美的摇滚了吧. 这首歌无论从词还是曲是讲都是摇滚味十足(虽然现在自己仍然有些弄不懂摇滚的含义:-D).
这首歌个性十足, 正如在某处看到的一句话:”它不甘于凡, 就算做一块石头, 也要做一块个性十足滚动着的石头”.
歌词经典的句子太多, 几乎整首就是经典, 不过还是单独拿出这一句来吧:
“When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose”
在YouTube上找了一下, 有很多乎现场版, 听了几首, 找出下面的这个版本, 可能会更容易听一些:D, 当然如果你有CD版的录音, 那应该还是听CD版的, 毕竟是经过仔细的录音和剪辑的. 但无论如何, 哪一个版本都是毋庸置疑的经典.
下面是歌词:
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
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out 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 ask him do you want to make a deal?
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?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and 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 drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you’d better lift 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 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?
