Lord knows he's paid some dues gettin' through,
Dio sa che ha pagato qualcosa per farcela,
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
She was married when they first met,
Era sposata quando si incontrarono per la prima volta,
Soon to be divorced.
Presto divorziato.
He helped her out of a jam, I guess,
L'ha aiutata a uscire da un pasticcio, immagino,
But he used a little too much force.
Ma ha usato un po' troppa forza.
They drove that car as far as we could
Hanno guidato quell'auto il più lontano possibile
Abandoned it out West
L'ho abbandonato nell'Ovest
Split up on a dark sad night
Ci siamo lasciati in una notte buia e triste
Both agreeing it was best.
Entrambi erano d'accordo che fosse la cosa migliore.
She turned around to look at him
Lei si voltò a guardarlo
As he was walkin' away
Mentre se ne andava
she said: "This can't be the end, . . . this ain't the end,
disse: "Questa non può essere la fine,... questa non è la fine,
We'll meet on another day, on the avenue," We'll meet again some day . . .
Ci incontreremo un altro giorno, sul viale," Un giorno ci rivedremo. . .
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
He had a job in the old north woods
Aveva un lavoro nei vecchi boschi del nord
Working as a cook for a spell
Lavorare come cuoco per un periodo
But he never did like it all that much
Ma non gli è mai piaciuto così tanto
And one day the ax just fell.
E un giorno l'ascia cadde.
Well, he drifted down to L.A.
Beh, è andato alla deriva fino a L.A.
Where he reckoned to try his luck
Dove contava di tentare la fortuna
Workin' for a while on an airplane plant,
Lavorando per un po' in una fabbrica di aeroplani,
Loading cargo onto a truck
Caricamento di merci su un camion
But all the while he was alone
Ma per tutto il tempo era solo
The past was close behind,
Il passato era alle spalle,
He seen a lot of women
Ha visto molte donne
But she never escaped his mind, and he just grew
Ma lei non gli è mai sfuggita di mente ed è semplicemente cresciuto
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
She was workin' in a topless place
Stava lavorando in un posto in topless
And I stopped in for a beer,
E mi sono fermato a bere una birra,
I just kept looking' at the side of her face
Continuavo a guardare un lato del suo viso
In the spotlight so clear.
Sotto i riflettori in modo così chiaro.
And later on, as the crowd thinned out
E più tardi, quando la folla si è diradata
I's about to do the same,
Sto per fare lo stesso,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Lei era lì dietro la mia sedia
Said to me, "What's your name?"
Mi ha detto: "Come ti chiami?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
Ho mormorato qualcosa sottovoce,
She studied the lines on my face.
Studiò le rughe sul mio viso.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
Devo ammettere che mi sentivo un po' a disagio
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Quando si chinò per allacciarmi la scarpa,
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
Accese un fornello sul fornello e mi offrì una pipa
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"Pensavo che non avresti mai salutato", ha detto
"You look like the silent type."
"Sembri un tipo silenzioso."
Then she opened up a book of poems
Poi aprì un libro di poesie
And handed it to me
E me lo ha consegnato
From the thirteenth century.
Dal XIII secolo.
And every one of them words rang true
E ognuna di quelle parole suonava vera
And glowed like burnin' coal
E brillava come carbone ardente
Pourin' off of every page
Sgorgando da ogni pagina
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Come se fosse scritto nella mia anima da me a te,
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
He was always in a hurry,
Era sempre di fretta,
too busy or too stoned,
troppo occupato o troppo sballato,
And everything that she ever planned,
E tutto ciò che ha mai pianificato,
just a-had to be postponed.
dovevo proprio essere rinviato.
She thought they were successful,
Pensava che avessero avuto successo,
She thought they were blessed, He thought . . .
Lei pensava che fossero benedetti, lui pensava. . .
with objects and material things,
con oggetti e cose materiali,
but I never was impressed.
ma non sono mai rimasto colpito.
And when it all came crashing down,
E quando tutto crollò,
I became withdrawn,
mi sono ritirato,
The only thing I knew how to do
L'unica cosa che sapevo fare
Was to keep on keepin' on
Dovevo continuare ad andare avanti
Like a bird that flew
Come un uccello che volava
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.
So now I'm goin' back again,
Quindi ora tornerò di nuovo,
I got to get to her somehow.
Devo raggiungerla in qualche modo.
All the people we used to know
Tutte le persone che conoscevamo
They're an illusion to me now.
Per me adesso sono un'illusione.
Some are mathematicians
Alcuni sono matematici
Some are doctors' wives.
Alcune sono le mogli dei medici.
Don't know how it all got started,
Non so come sia iniziato tutto,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
Non so cosa stiano facendo della loro vita.
But me, I'm still on the road
Ma io sono ancora in viaggio
Headin' for another joint
Mi sto dirigendo verso un altro locale
We always did feel the same,
Ci siamo sempre sentiti uguali,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
L'abbiamo semplicemente visto da un punto di vista diverso,
Tangled up in blue.
Aggrovigliato nel blu.

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew

Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue,
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue.
So now I'm goin' back again,

1978 “grand ballad” version
{c:Represented by Charlotte, Dec 10, 1978
If you haven't got this one, do yourself a favor and get it.}
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
And I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said that our lives together
Well, it sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Ready to pay some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
We abandoned it way out West
Splittin' up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing that it was best.
She turned around to look at me
One more time, as I was walkin' away
Sayin' over her shoulder,
"Boy, We're bound to meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.
I remember stayin' in the north woords
Living in a vagabond hotel
One day there in the pouring rain
I could feel how the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
And I was lucky not to be destroyed
I almost died of the bulldog clap
Two miles outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.
She was dancin' in the Flamingo hotel
And I was passin' by, so I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept starin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on when the crowd thinned out
I was just about to do the same,
She was standing there right behind my chair
Toughing me said: "You know it ain't no accident that you came."
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove, wearin' a dress made up of stars and stripes
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You know you look like you could be the silent type."
Then she opened up the Bible
And she started quotin' it to me
Jeremiah chapter seventeen
From verses 21 and 33.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night,
There was revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of her froze.
She had to sell everything she owned
Even her jewellery and her clothes.
And when it all came crashing on, I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue.
So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her and be brave.
All the people we used to know,
At least the ones that ain't in the grave,
Some are bricklayers, some are bankrobbers
Some are burglars and some are truck-drivers' wives.
I Don't know how it all got started,
I have no idea what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
He was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said that their lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And he was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on his shoes
Heading out for the lone East Coast
Radio blastin' the news straight on through,
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when they first met,
to a man four times her age.
He left her penniless, in the state of regret,
it was time to bust out of the cage.
They drove that car as far as they could,
abandoned it out west.
splitting up on a dark, sad night,
both agreeing that it was best.
And she turned around to look at him
as he was walking away.
She said I wish I could tell you all the things
that I never learned how to say.
He said thats alright babe I love you too,
but we were tangled up in blue.
He had a steady job and a pretty face,
and everything seemed to fit.
One day he could just feel the waste,
he put it all down and split.
And he headed down to New Orleans,
where they treated him like a boy.
He nearly went mad in Baton Rouge,
he nearly drowned in Delacroix.
And all the time he was alone,
the past was close behind.
he had one too many lovers then,
and none of them were too refined,
all except for you,
but you were tangled up in blue.
She was working in the blinding light,
and I stopped in for a drink.
I just kept looking at her face so white,
I didn't know what to think.
Later on as the crowd thinned out,
I was getting ready to leave.
She was standing there, beside my chair,
saying "What's that you got up your sleeve?"
I said "nothing baby, and thats for sure"
She leaned down into my face.
I could feel the heat and the pulse of her
as she bent down to tie the laces
of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on Montague street
in a basement down the stairs.
There was snow all winter and no heat,
revolution was in the air.
Then one day all his slaves ran free,
and something inside of him died.
The only thing I could do was be me,
and get on that train and ride.
And when it all came crashing down,
I was already south.
I didn't know whether the world was flat or round,
I had the worst taste in my mouth,
that I ever knew,
Tangled up in blue.
Now I'm going back again,
maybe tomorrow, maybe next year.
I've got to find someone among the women and men
whose destiny is unclear.
Some are ministers of illusion,
some are masters of the trade.
All under strong delusion,
all of their beds unmade.
Me I'm heading toward the sun,
trying to stay out of the joints.
We always did love the very same one.
We just saw her from a different point
of view,
Tangled up in blue.
