Bob Dylan's Dream by Bob Dylan
Lyrics & Translation
English
While riding on a train goin' west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were sung
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
But our chances really was a million to one
As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split
How many a year has passed and gone
And many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I've never seen again
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that

Bob Dylan's Dream* (original Bob Dylan)
While riding on a train goin' west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were sung
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
But our chances really was a million to one
As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split
How many a year has passed and gone
And many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I've never seen again
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
Bob Dylan's Dream (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Mientras viajaba en un tren hacia el oeste
Me quedé dormido para descansar
Soñé un sueño que me entristeció
Sobre mí y los primeros amigos que tuve
Con ojos medio húmedos miré la habitación
Donde mis amigos y yo pasamos muchas tardes
Donde juntos capeamos muchas tormentas
Riendo y cantando hasta las primeras horas de la mañana
Junto a la vieja estufa de madera donde colgaban nuestros sombreros
Nuestras palabras fueron dichas, nuestras canciones cantadas
Donde no anhelábamos nada y estábamos bastante satisfechos
Hablando y bromeando sobre el mundo exterior
Con corazones atormentados a través del calor y el frío
Nunca pensamos que podríamos envejecer mucho
Pensamos que podríamos sentarnos para siempre en diversión
Pero nuestras posibilidades eran realmente de un millón a una
Tan fácil como era distinguir el negro del blanco
Así de fácil era distinguir el mal del bien
Y nuestras elecciones eran pocas y el pensamiento nunca llegó
Que el único camino que viajábamos alguna vez se rompería y dividiría
Cuántos años han pasado y se han ido
Y muchas apuestas se han perdido y ganado
Y muchos caminos tomados por muchos de los primeros amigos
Y a cada uno nunca lo he vuelto a ver
Deseo, deseo, deseo en vano
Que pudiéramos sentarnos simplemente en esa habitación otra vez
Diez mil dólares al instante
Lo daría todo con gusto si nuestras vidas pudieran ser así
