Bob Dylan canta ‘Mr Tambourine man’

November 22nd, 2007 by Félix de Azara

Aquí hoy les traemos a Bob Dylan, himno de la campaña publicitaria de la Expo 2008 de Zaragoza, cantando ‘Mr Tambourine man’.

Esta redacción se la dedica a 39escalones, cinéfilo aragonés. Va por usted, maestro.

Al cantautor se le ve jovencico, muy genuino. Corría el año 1964. ¡Buena cosecha la aquel año!

La letra de la canción se la traemos aquí como apoyo a la Expo 2008 de Zaragoza y no con fines comerciales.

“Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin’.
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sun,
It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin’.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn’t pay it any mind, it’s just a shadow you’re
Seein’ that he’s chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you”.

    Muchísimas gracias, amigos, nada menos que el maestro Dylan… Os agradezco muchísimo el gesto, de verdad (lo de “maestro” es, sin duda, exagerado). Además, por esas cosas de la casualidad, tenía preparado algo sobre Dylan y el cine para el próximo domingo. De momento, no adelanto nada.
    Gracias de nuevo, saludos.

    Que conste que el “maestro” que considero exagerado es el que vds. han tenido a bien obsequiarme, no el que yo he colocado al viejo Bob, desde luego, merecedor de eso y mucho más.
