You belong to me

這首歌是50年代的一首情歌,很多人翻唱,Dylan在1992年錄製Good as I Been to You這張專輯的時候,將它改編成了吉他的獨奏版本,但後來並未採用,直到1994年被導演Oliver Stone收錄在Natural Born Killers (閃靈殺手)的電影原聲帶中,才得以重見天日!我個人很喜歡這歌詞的意境。


See the pyramids along the Nile
看著尼羅河沿岸的金字塔
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
看著日出從熱帶的島嶼中升起
Just remember, darling all the while
只要記得 親愛的 不管什麼時候
You belong to me
妳會屬於我

See the marketplace in old Algiers
看著古老的阿爾及爾的市集
Send me photographs and souvenirs
寄給我照片和紀念品
Just remember when a dream appears
只要記得 當美夢降臨時
You belong to me
妳會屬於我

I'll be so alone without you
沒有妳 我將會多麼地孤單
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
也許妳也一樣地寂寞
And blue
並且憂鬱

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
乘著銀色的飛機飛越海洋
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
看見熱帶叢林正下著大雨
Just remember 'til you're home again
只要記得  當妳再次回到家時
You belong to me
妳會屬於我

最後是電影對白
Juliette Lewis: 
“I just want to tell you I love you, and I miss you. 
Don't forget about me. You won't forget about me?”
Woody Harrelson: 
“I won't forget about you. It's cool. No matter where he takes you, 
Timbouktou, it don't matter, because it's fate. Know? 
Nobody can stop fate. Nobody can.”

Tomorrow Is A Long Time

Tomorrow Is A Long Time 首次出現在Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume II(1971)這張專輯裡,是1963年在NY Town Hall 現場錄音的版本。而這首歌最早其實是Dylan在1962年為了M. Witmark & Sons 音樂出版商所錄製的Demo,最近才被收錄在The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964(2010)這張官方的Bootleg裡面,而下面的這個版本是出自Darkness at the Break of Noon 這張Booteg,1978年Dylan在Santa Monica, California的Rundown Studios為了巡迴演出排練時所錄下的錄音版本...歌詞寫得真好...


If today was not an endless highway,
如果今天不是一條漫無止境的公路
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
如果今夜不是一道蜿蜒曲折的小徑
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
如果明天不是一段如此漫長的時間
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.
那麼寂寞對於妳來說 也許一點都不算什麼

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
是的 只有當我擁有的真愛在等待時
if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
我可以聽見她的心跳正溫柔的跳動
Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me,
是的 只有當她躺在我的身邊時
I'd lie in my bed once again.

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,
美麗存在於銀色的、潺潺歌唱的河流
There's beauty in the sunrise(rainbow) in the sky,
美麗存在於天空裡出現的日出(彩虹)
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
但沒有任何一個或其他的事物能夠接近
That I remember in my true love's eyes.

Dignity


 (MTV Unplugged, 1995)


這首歌是狄倫在製作《Oh Mercy 》的時期所錄製的,沒有收進該張專輯裡,而是直到1994年才釋出於《Greatest Hits Volume 3》這張精選輯中,附上的影片連結是1994年「MTV Unplugged」的演出片段!狄倫在的他的自傳“Chronicles, Volume One”中寫到(中文譯本177頁),當他從收音機聽見籃球員 Pete Maravich打球猝死的消息時,他寫下了這首"Dignity"。

狄倫感嘆的說 “Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it’s like they didn’t fade away at all.”

Fat man lookin’ in a blade of steel
胖子看著鋼鐵的刀片
Thin man lookin’ at his last meal
瘦子看著他的最後一餐
Hollow man lookin’ in a cottonfield
空洞的人看著棉花田
For dignity
為了尊嚴

Wise man lookin’ in a blade of grass
智者看著綠草的葉片
Young man lookin’ in the shadows that pass
少年看著經過的陰影
Poor man lookin’ through painted glass
窮人望穿了彩繪玻璃
For dignity
為了尊嚴

Went into the land of the midnight sun
進入永晝的午夜

Searchin’ high, searchin’ low
