Simple Twist Of Fate

我很喜歡的一首歌，一切都是宿命


They sat together in the park
他們一起坐在公園裡
As the evening sky grew dark
當傍晚的天空漸暗
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
她看著他，他感覺到一陣火花刺痛他的骨
’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
就在那個時候，他感到孤獨，並希望他做的是對的
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
留意著命運的斷然轉折

They walked along by the old canal
他們走在古老運河的沿岸
A little confused, I remember well
有一點困惑，我記得很清楚
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright
在一間閃爍著霓虹燈的陌生旅館前停下
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
他感到夜晚的熱度撞擊著他，像是一輛貨運火車
Moving with a simple twist of fate
帶著斷然轉折的命運移動著

A saxophone someplace far off played
薩克斯風的演奏聲在遠處響起
As she was walkin’ by the arcade
當她走在拱廊上
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,
光線突破了殘破的陰影，他在陰影下醒來
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
她丟下一個硬幣在門口的盲人的杯子裡
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
遺忘斷然轉折的命運

He woke up, the room was bare
他醒來，房間已空
He didn’t see her anywhere
他到處都看不到她
He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
他對自己說，他不在乎，向外推開了窗戶
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
內心覺得一陣空虛，為了什麼，他無法聯想
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
由斷然轉折的命運引起

He hears the ticking of the clocks
他聽著時鐘的滴答聲
And walks along with a parrot that talks
一路上伴隨著說話的鸚鵡
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
他在碼頭邊追尋著她，所有的水手都來到這裡了
Maybe she’ll pick him out again, how long must he wait
也許她會再找上他，他需要等待多久？
Once more for a simple twist of fate
再一次，為了斷然轉折的命運

People tell me it’s a sin
人們告訴我，那是罪惡
To know and feel too much within
太過於深入的了解或是感覺
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
我依然相信她是我的另一半，但我弄丟了戒指
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
她在春天出生，但我出生的太晚
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
埋怨著斷然轉折的命運

Shelter From The Storm

1976的 Hard Rain(live)版本也是經典！


’Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
這是另一段人生，血汗交織
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
當邪惡成為一種美德，而路途上滿是泥濘
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
我從荒野而來，一種沒有形狀的生物
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
如果我再次經過這裡，妳可以放心
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
我必會為她盡心盡力，對於那，我可以向妳保證
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
在鋼鐵眼神般的死亡世界裡，男人們為了取暖而打鬥
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
我們沒有對話，這涉及到一些風險
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
直到那時候，所有的事一直懸而未決
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
試著想像一個地方，那裡總是安全，並且溫暖
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
我因為疲憊而心力交瘁，在冰雹中燃燒
Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail
在灌木叢裡中毒，在小徑上炸開
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
像隻鱷魚一樣被追捕，在穀物中被摧殘
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
我突然轉過身，她就站在那裡
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
她的手腕上戴著銀色手鐲，頭髮插著花朵
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
她走向我，如此地優美，帶走我的荊棘皇冠
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
現在有一道牆在我們之間，有些事已在那裡弄丟了
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed
我太過於認為理所當然，讓我的訊號受到干擾
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
就認為這一切都起始於一個被長久遺忘的黎明
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
啊，議員走在硬釘上，牧師騎在山峰
But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
但沒有真的什麼事是大問題，最後的審判僅僅只是計數
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
獨眼的殯葬業者，他吹著徒勞無功的喇叭
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
我曾聽見新生的嬰兒哭號的像隻哀痛的鴿子
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
失去愛的缺牙老人處於困境
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
我了解你的問題嗎？老兄，它是絕望和淒涼的嗎？
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
在山頂的一個小村莊，他們為了衣服而豪賭
I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose
我為了救世而討價還價，他們給了我致命的劑量
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
我犧牲我的清白，卻得到成為笑柄的回報
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
啊，我住在國外，但我必須穿過邊界
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
美麗走在剃刀邊緣，有一天我將讓它屬於我
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
如果我能將時鐘倒回到上帝和她出生的時候
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
“進來吧”她說，“我將給你躲避暴風雨的屏障”

Idiot Wind

這首歌是狄倫在1974年的夏天寫下的，當時，狄倫和他的妻子 Sara婚姻陷入了低潮，正處於分居的狀態。雖然狄倫本人曾公開表示這首歌並不是在描寫他與 Sara之間的感情問題，但狄倫的兒子 Jakob卻說，這首歌以及專輯《Blood on the tracks》裡的其他歌曲，其實都是他父母之間的對話。而從這首歌的歌詞中，你可以很明顯地察覺到，它是充滿指責與埋怨的。

1974年9月，狄倫在紐約錄製完《Blood on the tracks》後，他在11月前往明尼蘇達州拜訪他的弟弟大衛，同時狄倫也和當地的一些樂手合作，重新錄製了“ Idiot Wind ”，除了重新編曲外，狄倫也更改了歌詞，後來狄倫覺得不錯，就又重錄了專輯裡的其他幾首歌，包括 "Tangled Up in Blue"  ,"You're a Big Girl Now"  , "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts"  ,"If You See Her, Say Hello"  ，最後都被收入專輯《Blood on the tracks》中，並取代了原來的版本！然而當時專輯《Blood on the tracks》的包裝早已印製完成，所以這些參與重錄的樂手並未被註記在專輯裡。而“ Idiot Wind ”的原始版本，則是在1991年才被釋出於《The Bootleg Series vol 1-3》中。

1976年的5月23號，狄倫在科羅拉多州科林斯堡的修斯體育場演出，在演唱“ Idiot Wind ”這首歌時，狄倫的口吻明顯變得激動許多，彷彿充滿了憤怒，歌詞就像砲彈般，從狄倫的口中迸發出來。據說，當時狄倫的妻子 Sara就坐在前排觀看，而這也讓許多人相信，這就是導致狄倫激動的原因。這個版本最後被收錄在《Hard Rain》中，我認為它是所有版本中最為傑出的！非常值得一聽。

另外補充，狄倫其實是非常深愛 Sara，並極力想挽留這段婚姻的，否則就不會有“ Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands ”,"Abandoned Love"和“Sara”這些歌了。

我一直被出賣，現在，真的是最後一次了！如今，我終將自由
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me
我在邊界上吻別了正在吼叫的野獸，那邊界將妳我分開
You’ll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above
妳將永遠不會知道我所承受的傷害，以及我所克服的痛苦
And I’ll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love
而我也將不會知道妳的，妳的神聖或是妳那樣的愛
And it makes me feel so sorry
那讓我感到非常遺憾

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
愚蠢的風，流動過我們大衣上的紐扣
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
流動在我們寫下的信件
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
愚蠢的風，流動過我們書架上的灰塵
We're idiots, babe.
我們是笨蛋，寶貝
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
真令人驚奇，我們竟然能餵飽我們自己

*From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol

If You See Her Say Hello

If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
如果你看見她，向她打聲招呼，她也許在丹吉爾
She left here last early Spring, is livin' there, I hear
她在去年的初春時離開這裡，到了那裡生活，我曾聽說
Say for me that I’m all right though things get kind of slow
替我跟她說，我還好，雖然事物變得有點緩慢
She might think that I’ve forgotten her, don’t tell her it isn’t so
她也許會以為我已經忘了她，別告訴她事情不是這樣

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
我們有過爭吵，就像情人經常有的那樣
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
想到那夜她是如何離開的，仍然讓我感到寒意
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
雖然我們的分離，那刺穿了我的心
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart
但她仍然住在我的心底，我們從未分離

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
如果你能接近她，替我親吻她一次
I always have respected her for doin' what she did and gettin' free
對於她所做的事或是追求自由，我總是尊重她
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
噢，不管是什麼能讓她開心，我不會擋住她的路
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay
然而在那個我試圖留下她的夜晚之後，苦澀仍然揮之不去

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
我遇見很多人，當我四處漂泊時
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
我在各處聽見她的名字，當我從一個鎮到了另一個鎮
And I’ve never gotten used to it, I’ve just learned to turn it off
我一直沒辦法適應這點，我要學會關上它
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft
不是我太過於敏感，就是我變得軟弱

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
日落時分，黃色月亮，我重溫著過去
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
我熟記每一個場景，它們都快速的消逝而過
If she’s passin’ back this way, I'm not that hard to find
如果她回來剛好經過這邊，我並沒有那麼難找
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time
告訴她，可以來看看我，如果她有時間
