Chimes Of Freedom by Bob Dylan
Lyrics & Translation
English
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
In the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden as the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain
Dissolved into the bells of the lightning
Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked
Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
An' the poet an the painter far behind his rightful time
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken-for granted situations
Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute
For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an' cheated by pursuit
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Even though a clouds's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An' for each unharmfull, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

Chimes Of Freedom (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Lejos entre el fin del atardecer y el toque roto de medianoche
Nos agachamos en el umbral, el trueno estallando
Mientras majestuosas campanas de rayos golpeaban sombras en los sonidos
Pareciendo ser las campanas de la libertad destellando
Destellando por los guerreros cuya fuerza no es luchar
Destellando por los refugiados en el camino desarmado de la huida
Y por cada soldado desvalido en la noche
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
En el horno derretido de la ciudad, inesperadamente observamos
Con rostros ocultos mientras las paredes se estrechaban
Mientras el eco de las campanas de boda antes de la lluvia que soplaba
Se disolvía en las campanas del relámpago
Doblando por el rebelde, doblando por el libertino
Doblando por los desdichados, los abandonados y desamparados
Doblando por el marginado, ardiendo constantemente en la hoguera
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
A través del loco martilleo místico del salvaje granizo desgarrador
El cielo resquebrajó sus poemas en asombro desnudo
Que el tañido de las campanas de la iglesia se llevó lejos con la brisa
Dejando solo campanas de relámpago y su trueno
Golpeando por los gentiles, golpeando por los amables
Golpeando por los guardianes y protectores de la mente
Y el poeta y el pintor muy atrás de su tiempo justo
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
En la salvaje tarde catedralicia la lluvia desentrañó cuentos
Para las formas sin rostro despojadas de posición
Doblando por las lenguas sin lugar para llevar sus pensamientos
Todas en situaciones dadas por sentadas
Doblando por los sordos y ciegos, doblando por los mudos
Por la madre maltratada y sin pareja, la prostituta mal llamada
Por el forajido de delito menor, perseguido y engañado por la persecución
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
Aunque una cortina blanca de nubes en un rincón lejano destelló
Y la hipnótica niebla salpicada se levantaba lentamente
La luz eléctrica aún golpeaba como flechas, disparadas solo para aquellos
Condenados a la deriva o a ser impedidos de ir a la deriva
Doblando por los que buscan, en su sendero mudo y buscador
Por los amantes de corazón solitario con una historia demasiado personal
Y por cada alma inofensiva y gentil extraviada dentro de una cárcel
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
Con ojos estrellados y riendo, recuerdo cuando fuimos atrapados
Atrapados sin rastro de horas, pues colgaban suspendidas
Mientras escuchábamos una última vez y mirábamos con una última mirada
Hechizados y tragados hasta que el tañido terminó
Doblando por los que sufren cuyas heridas no pueden ser curadas
Por los incontables confundidos, acusados, maltratados, drogados y peores
Y por cada persona atormentada en todo el vasto universo
Y contemplamos las campanas de la libertad destellando.
