Visions of Johanna-Bob Dylan Written by:Bob Dylan Ain't it just like the night to play tricks 这似乎是个捉弄人的夜晚 When you're tryin' to be so quiet 而你只想安静地待着 We sit here stranded though we're all doing our best to deny it 我们被困在这里 但都不想承认这个事实 And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it 路易斯手里握着一股雨水 诱惑着你 Lights flicker from the opposite loft 对面楼的光线照过来 In this room the heat pipes just cough 这个房间里 导热管发出微弱的声音 The country music station plays soft 乡村音乐台播着舒缓的音乐 But there's nothing really nothing to turn off 但那没有什么能关掉的 Just Louise and her lover so entwined 只有路易斯和他的情人在缠绵 And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind 我的脑海里全是这些约翰娜的情景 In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain 在那片空地上 女士们用钥匙链和蒙住眼睛的男人们玩捉迷藏 And the all night girls they whisper of escapades out on the d train 火车上 夜店上班的姑娘们窃窃私语 聊着那些琐事 We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight 我们可以听到守夜人敲打手电筒的声音 Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane 他心里想着 是他自己疯了还是那些人疯了 Louise she's all right she's just near 路易斯她没事 她就在附近 She's delicate and seems like the mirror 她娇弱不已 就像是面镜子 But she just makes it all too concise and too clear 但她吐字清晰 办事利落 That Johanna's not here 约翰娜不在这 The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face 电力之鬼附在她身上 狂吼着 Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place 乔安娜的这些情景现在已经取代了我的位置 Now little boy lost he takes himself so seriously 现在这个小男孩迷路了 他小心翼翼地看着 He brags of his misery he likes to live dangerously 他吹嘘着痛苦的经历 他喜欢活在危险中 And when bringing her name up 但一听到她的名字 He speaks of a farewell kiss to me 他马上向我吻别 He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all 他心里肯定有很多的苦楚 但都是徒劳的 Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall 我在大厅的时候和他短暂的聊了一会儿 Oh how can I explain 我该怎么解释呢 It's so hard to get on 很难说清 And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn 是这些约翰娜的情景支撑着我到天明 Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial 博物馆内 时间说明了一切 Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while 回声回荡着 这是拯救该有的样子啊 But mona lisa musta had the highway blues 但是蒙娜丽莎一定还沉浸在高速路蓝调中 You can tell by the way she smiles 看她那个微笑就知道了 See the primitive wallflower frieze 看那些古老的壁花和雕带 When the jelly faced women all sneeze 当那些脸像果冻般细腻的女人们纷纷打喷嚏 Hear the one with the mustache say jeeze 就听到了那个大胡子叹了口气 I can't find my knees 我膝盖都麻了 Oh jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule 珠宝和望远镜挂在骡子头上 But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel 约翰娜的这些情景 让一切看起来如此残忍 The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him 小商贩跟伯爵夫人说着话 她假装很关心他的样子 Saying name me someone that's not a parasite 他说 给我起个名字吧 不想再靠别人生活了 And I'll go out and say a prayer for him 我会出去为他祈祷 But like Louise always says 但是路易斯总是说 Ya can't look at much can ya man 你不能预测未来啊 不是吗 As she herself prepares for him 她自己却为他准备好了一切 And madonna she still has not showed 麦当娜还没有表演 We see this empty cage now corrode 我们看着这个空荡的笼子被慢慢侵蚀 Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
