Long Strange Golden Road Testo Traduzione Italiana

INTRO:
INTRODUZIONE:
VERSE:
VERSO:
I was longing to be wooed
Desideravo essere corteggiato
I was ready to be humbled
Ero pronto per essere umiliato
by the words that you had written
dalle parole che avevi scritto
by the syllables you mumbled
dalle sillabe che hai borbottato
yeah, I was ready in my heart
sì, ero pronto nel mio cuore
to have my heart invaded
avere il cuore invaso
by the fervour of your passion
dal fervore della tua passione
yes, I came to be persuaded
sì, sono venuto per lasciarmi convincere
VERSE:
VERSO:
But when I heard your ragged voice
Ma quando ho sentito la tua voce rauca
something switched in my perception
qualcosa è cambiato nella mia percezione
and I knew I was the victim
e sapevo di essere la vittima
of a beautiful deception
di un bellissimo inganno
all my once exact beliefs
tutte le mie convinzioni un tempo esatte
like tangled threads unravelled
come fili aggrovigliati sciolti
I walked out, stunned and liberated
Sono uscito, stordito e liberato
and so began my travels
e così iniziarono i miei viaggi
CHORUS:
CORO:
Keep the river on your right
Mantieni il fiume alla tua destra
and the highway at your shoulder
e l'autostrada alle tue spalle
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
e la prima linea nel tuo mirino, pioniere
Keep your eye on the road
Tieni gli occhi sulla strada
remember what you told her
ricorda quello che le hai detto
this is all in code, my dear
è tutto in codice, mia cara
VERSE:
VERSO:
You better get yourself a coat
Faresti meglio a procurarti un cappotto
said the handsome taxi driver
disse il bel tassista
and he sighed like seven bridges
e sospirò come sette ponti
like a natural-born survivor
come un sopravvissuto nato per natura
as we drove into the night
mentre guidavamo nella notte
I could feel the forest jangling
Potevo sentire il tintinnio della foresta
all the choices laid before me
tutte le scelte poste davanti a me
and their consequences dangling
e le loro conseguenze pendono
VERSE:
VERSO:
We came upon a stricken ship
Ci siamo imbattuti in una nave colpita
that must have once been splendid
deve essere stato splendido un tempo
the captain as he died said
disse il capitano in punto di morte
'Boys, our revels now are ended'
"Ragazzi, le nostre feste sono finite"
I heard a wild holy band
Ho sentito una banda sacra selvaggia
playing jazz that was outrageous,
suonare un jazz che era scandaloso,
that recalled the days of rapture
che ricordava i giorni del rapimento
when our love was still young and contagious
quando il nostro amore era ancora giovane e contagioso
CHORUS:
CORO:
Keep the river on your right
Mantieni il fiume alla tua destra
and the highway at your shoulder
e l'autostrada alle tue spalle
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
e la prima linea nel tuo mirino, pioniere
Keep your eye on the road
Tieni gli occhi sulla strada
remember what you told her
ricorda quello che le hai detto
this is all in code, my dear
è tutto in codice, mia cara
VERSE:
VERSO:
In a dim-lit motel room
In una stanza di motel poco illuminata
two sad lovers were discoursing
due amanti tristi discorrevano
on the dignity of exile
sulla dignità dell'esilio
and the merits of divorcing
e i meriti del divorzio
she said 'all certainty is gone'
lei ha detto "tutte le certezze sono sparite"
but he leapt up, still denying,
ma lui si alzò, sempre negando,
cried 'I won't believe the flame I lit
gridò: "Non crederò alla fiamma che ho acceso".
is dead or even dying'
è morto o addirittura sta morendo'
VERSE:
VERSO:
She left him drooling in the dust
Lo lasciò sbavare nella polvere
and with rucksack packed begun her
e con lo zaino pieno cominciò
bitter journey to the border
amaro viaggio verso il confine
which is where I wooed and won her
ed è lì che l'ho corteggiata e conquistata
she was Aphrodite, Helen, Thetis,
era Afrodite, Elena, Teti,
Eve among the satyrs
Eva tra i satiri
She was Venus in a v-neck sweater
Era Venere con un maglione con scollo a V
she was all that ever mattered
lei era tutto ciò che contava
CHORUS:
CORO:
Keep the river on your right
Mantieni il fiume alla tua destra
and the highway at your shoulder
e l'autostrada alle tue spalle
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
e la prima linea nel tuo mirino, pioniere
Keep your eye on the road
Tieni gli occhi sulla strada
remember what you told her
ricorda quello che le hai detto
this is all in code, my dear
è tutto in codice, mia cara
VERSE:
VERSO:
Like Dean Moriarty's ghost
Come il fantasma di Dean Moriarty
I came in quest of secret knowledge
Sono venuto alla ricerca di una conoscenza segreta
in the winter of my journey
nell'inverno del mio viaggio
to a crumbling Druid college
in un fatiscente collegio dei Druidi
there I read the books of lore
lì leggo i libri della tradizione
and contemplated in seclusion
e contemplato in solitudine
but I took my leave embittered,
ma mi congedai amareggiato,
still in love with my illusions
ancora innamorato delle mie illusioni
VERSE:
VERSO:
In the drizzling Irish rain
Sotto la pioggia battente irlandese
as a tender dawn was breaking
mentre spuntava una tenera alba
in a doorway I stood spellbound by
su una porta davanti alla quale rimasi incantato
the ancient music they were making
la musica antica che stavano facendo
I took my breakfast with the Gods
Ho fatto colazione con gli Dei
on a blushing summer morning
in una arrossata mattina d'estate
till a wind blew them all away
finché un vento non li spazzò via tutti
I had misread every warning
Avevo letto male ogni avvertimento
CHORUS:
CORO:
Keep the river on your right
Mantieni il fiume alla tua destra
and the highway at your shoulder
e l'autostrada alle tue spalle
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
e la prima linea nel tuo mirino, pioniere
Keep your eye on the road
Tieni gli occhi sulla strada
remember what you told her
ricorda quello che le hai detto
this is all in code, my dear
è tutto in codice, mia cara
VERSE:
VERSO:
Under cold electric light
Sotto la luce elettrica fredda
I watch the scenes mutating
Guardo le scene mutare
like an old time frontier ballad
come una ballata di frontiera dei vecchi tempi
or a carousel rotating
o una giostra rotante
As if in a moment from a film
Come in un attimo di un film
with astonishing precision
con sorprendente precisione
the camera zooms in close
la telecamera ingrandisce da vicino
and a figure comes into vision
e una figura entra nella visione
VERSE:
VERSO:
I'm in Tokyo, it's dawn
Sono a Tokyo, è l'alba
and it's raining hallelujahs
e piovono alleluia
down the bright-lit neon canyons
giù per i canyon illuminati dai neon
along the sidewalks of Shibuya
lungo i marciapiedi di Shibuya
I'm trying to take a stance
Sto cercando di prendere posizione
and rise above my contradictions
e superare le mie contraddizioni
but I'm just a bunch of words in pants
ma sono solo un mucchio di parole nei pantaloni
and most of those are fiction
e la maggior parte di questi sono finzione
CHORUS:
CORO:
Keep the river on your right
Mantieni il fiume alla tua destra
and the highway at your shoulder
e l'autostrada alle tue spalle
and the front line in your sights, pioneer
e la prima linea nel tuo mirino, pioniere
Keep your eye on the road
Tieni gli occhi sulla strada
remember what you told her
ricorda quello che le hai detto
this is all in code, my dear
è tutto in codice, mia cara
CHORUS:
CORO:
