Bob Dylan - Love Minus Zero / No Limit traducción перевод

Bob Dylan Love Minus Zero/No Limit (1975) traducción en español

Bob Dylan Love Minus Zero/No Limit перевод песни на русский

My love she speaks like silence

Mi amor habla como el silencio
Любовь моя - молчанье

Without ideals or violence

Sin ningún ideal ni violencia
Вне пафосных звучаний 

She doesn’t have to say she’s faithful

No tiene que decir que es fiel

И ей не нужно клясться в постоянстве

Yet she’s true, like ice, like fire

Sin embargo ella es sincera como hielo como fuego

Чтоб чистой быть, как льдина или пламя.

People carry roses

La gente lleva rosas

Кто-то розы дарит

Make promises by the hours

Y hace promesas en cada momento

Часами что-то обещает...

My love she laughs like the flowers

Mi amor, ella rie como las flores

Моя любовь, она цветком смеется

Valentines can’t buy her.  

Valentin no puede comprarla

Но не цветок - она не продается.

In the dime stores and bus stations

En los mercadillos y paradas de autobús

Повсюду все всë знают...

People talk of situations

La gente habla de situaciones

Люди спорят и вздыхают

Read books, repeat quotations

Leen libros y repiten citas

Читают, что-то обсуждают

Draw conclusions on the wall

Dibujan conclusiones en la pared

И джазом называют блюз...

Some speak of the future

Algunos hablan del futuro

Кто-то говорит о "завтра"

My love she speaks softly

Mi amor habla suavemente

А моя любовь говорит мягко

She knows there’s no success like failure

Sabe que no hay éxito comparable al fracaso

Ведь знает, что победа есть в провале,

And that failure’s no success at all.

Y que el fracaso no es ningún éxito

И что провал с победой - не союз.

 

The cloak and dagger dangles

La capa y el puñal se mecen

Шпион не ожидает встречи,

Madams light the candles

Las señoras encienden las velas

Синьоры зажигает свечи

In ceremonies of the horsemen

En las ceremonias de los jinetes

Где всадники затеивают игры

Even the pawn must hold a grudge

Hasta el peón abriga rencor

Даже пешкам нужно злобу затаить.

Statues made of matchsticks

Estatuas hechas de cerillas

Статуи из спичек 

Crumble into one another

Se desploman unas contra otras

Крошатся в руины.

My love winks, she does not bother

Mi amor guiña un ojo, ella no se inquieta

Любовь моя лишь подмигнет невинно

She knows too much to argue or to judge.

Sabe demasiado como para discutir o juzgar

Она знает слишком много, чтоб судить.

The bridge at midnight trembles

El puente tiembla a medianoche 
Мосты тревожит поздний вечер

The country doctor rambles

El médico de pueblo divaga
Сельский доктор что-то "лечит"

Bankers’ nieces seek perfection

Las sobrinas de los banqueros buscan la perfección
Банкиров дочки ищут славы  

Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring

Esperando todos los regalos que los hombres sabios traen
И ожидают больше, чем дары волхвов

The wind howls like a hammer

El viento arrecia como un martillo
Зловеще ветер шепчет

The night blows cold and rainy

La no che sopla fría y lluviosa
Ночь дует холод, ливень бьет узором

My love she’s like some raven  
Mi amore s como algún cuervo
Моя любовь, она как будто ворон

At my window with a broken wing

Con una ala rota en mi ventana.

В окно стучится раненым крылом.

Bandits & Ultimate Sappy Chick Songs

"Bandits" is a lovely movie I enjoy watching after a long day at work, it's fun and makes me think less than usual. One good thought the movie brings is that stereotypes about Americans are probably not all true (not all Americans are 'true to' some stereotypes about them?) Briefly speaking, people differ and things are not always what they seem.

Some Bandit movie quotes I like

• She's mentally unstable to a spectacular degree. (spectacular)

• I would rather feel too much, than too little. (disputable)

• Kate's a special lady. -Kate is an iceberg waiting for the Titanic. (smart man speaking)

• Don't Expect the unexpected, because then its not really unexpected and that leaves you vulnerable to the truely unexpected (need to read twice)

•  Beavers and ducks! (funny when watched)

• Girls love men who love danger (wrong, it's much more complicated)

• Love is a wish you hide in your heart that no one else knows.(maybe)

•  - You know the hardest thing about being smart?
   -  No.
   - I always pretty much know what's gonna happen next. There's no suspense. (smart man speaking) 

• - Kate, you should choose. What's it gonna be? Mr. Action Figure Hero Guy? Or brains, and sensitivity, and a lot of other things I could name. So in other words: me or THAT guy?
  - Yeah, good looking, or ITCHY. (ITCHY, yes!!!)

• - Oh my god! I can't believe you KNOW that song!
  - Yeah. Bonnie Tyler. "Total Eclipse of the Heart". It's the ultimate sappy chick song.(focus of my attention)

I like all three movie characters, but this crazy woman Kate is my top favourite (Cate Blanchett rocks be it Bandits or Elizabeth). The reason why I'm especially interested in her today is this stupid craving for an ultimate sappy chick song. I don't mind Bonnie Tyler, mostly because I get occasional total eclipse of the mind, and I am a Hero enough to fight this eclipse. (Altho of course I'd prefer 'Twist in My Sobriety' more). This time, however, my attention goes beyond the details  (Bonnie Tyler, Whitney Houston, Mariah, or any other Cryiah etc.) and takes aim at the general picture - the concept of an ultimate sappy chick song.

Why would a relatively strong female have a craving for an ultimate sappy chick song or something more sentimentally emotional than Rammstein? Millions of answers are possible here, but this is more a rhetorical protest than a question. I'm satisfied with my self-sufficient self, but this craving for an ultimate sappy chick song is something sweet that I somewhat not-too-sweetly protest against.

A-Ha Velvet

I dig surrealism. It leads the ones who're curious about it into an excitingly subversive world of new possibilities of mind. At first sight, images and sequences surrealistic paintings reveal can seem to make no sense at all. But if you are good at going beyond the boundaries of rational forms of thought, a surrealistic painting makes perfect sense on this 'surreal' level of your vision.

There's often something strangely familiar creeping among the random images created by surrealists. I like surrealistic paintings because they show to the ones who actually have eyes that nothing in this world is what it seems.
