Lyrics and translation Bob Dylan - Visions of Johanna (Take 14, Complete)
Visions of Johanna (Take 14, Complete)
Visions de Johanna (Prise 14, Complète)
Ain't
it
just
like
the
night
to
play
tricks
when
you're
tryin'
to
be
so
quiet?
N'est-ce
pas
comme
la
nuit
de
jouer
des
tours
quand
tu
essaies
d'être
si
silencieux
?
We
sit
here
stranded,
though
we're
all
doin'
our
best
to
deny
it
Nous
sommes
ici,
échoués,
bien
que
nous
fassions
tous
de
notre
mieux
pour
le
nier
And
Louise
holds
a
handful
of
rain,
temptin'
you
to
defy
it
Et
Louise
tient
une
poignée
de
pluie,
te
tentant
de
la
défier
Lights
flicker
from
the
opposite
loft
Des
lumières
vacillent
du
loft
d'en
face
In
this
room
the
heat
pipes
just
cough
Dans
cette
pièce,
les
tuyaux
de
chauffage
toussent
à
peine
The
country
music
station
plays
soft
La
station
de
musique
country
joue
doucement
But
there's
nothing,
really
nothing
to
turn
off
Mais
il
n'y
a
rien,
vraiment
rien
à
éteindre
Just
Louise
and
her
lover
so
entwined
Juste
Louise
et
son
amant
si
enlacés
And
these
visions
of
Johanna
that
conquer
my
mind
Et
ces
visions
de
Johanna
qui
conquièrent
mon
esprit
In
the
empty
lot
where
the
ladies
play
blindman's
bluff
with
the
key
chain
Dans
le
terrain
vague
où
les
dames
jouent
au
cache-cache
avec
le
porte-clés
And
the
all-night
girls
they
whisper
of
escapades
out
on
the
"D"
train
Et
les
filles
de
toute
la
nuit
chuchotent
des
escapades
sur
le
train
"D"
We
can
hear
the
night
watchman
click
his
flashlight
On
peut
entendre
le
gardien
de
nuit
cliquer
sa
lampe
de
poche
Ask
himself
if
it's
him
or
them
that's
insane
Se
demander
si
c'est
lui
ou
elles
qui
sont
fous
Louise,
she's
all
right,
she's
just
near
Louise,
elle
va
bien,
elle
est
juste
près
She's
delicate
and
seems
like
the
mirror
Elle
est
délicate
et
ressemble
au
miroir
But
she
just
makes
it
all
too
concise
and
too
clear
Mais
elle
rend
tout
trop
concis
et
trop
clair
That
Johanna's
not
here
Que
Johanna
n'est
pas
là
The
ghost
of
'lectricity
howls
in
the
bones
of
her
face
Le
fantôme
de
l'électricité
hurle
dans
les
os
de
son
visage
Where
these
visions
of
Johanna
have
now
taken
my
place
Où
ces
visions
de
Johanna
ont
maintenant
pris
ma
place
Now,
little
boy
lost,
he
takes
himself
so
seriously
Maintenant,
le
petit
garçon
perdu,
il
se
prend
tellement
au
sérieux
He
brags
of
his
misery,
he
likes
to
live
dangerously
Il
se
vante
de
sa
misère,
il
aime
vivre
dangereusement
And
when
bringing
her
name
up
Et
quand
il
prononce
son
nom
He
speaks
of
a
farewell
kiss
to
me
Il
parle
d'un
baiser
d'adieu
pour
moi
He's
sure
got
a
lotta
gall
to
be
so
useless
and
all
Il
a
vraiment
beaucoup
d'audace
d'être
si
inutile
et
tout
Muttering
small
talk
at
the
wall
while
I'm
in
the
hall
Murmurant
des
banalités
au
mur
pendant
que
je
suis
dans
le
couloir
How
can
I
explain?
Comment
puis-je
expliquer
?
It's
so
hard
to
get
on
C'est
tellement
difficile
de
monter
And
these
visions
of
Johanna,
they
kept
me
up
past
the
dawn
Et
ces
visions
de
Johanna,
elles
m'ont
tenu
éveillé
jusqu'à
l'aube
Inside
the
museums,
infinity
goes
up
on
trial
À
l'intérieur
des
musées,
l'infini
est
jugé
Voices
echo
this
is
what
salvation
must
be
like
after
a
while
Les
voix
résonnent,
c'est
comme
ça
que
le
salut
doit
être
après
un
certain
temps
But
Mona
Lisa
musta
had
the
highway
blues
Mais
la
Joconde
a
dû
avoir
le
blues
de
la
route
You
can
tell
by
the
way
she
smiles
On
peut
le
dire
par
la
façon
dont
elle
sourit
See
the
primitive
wallflower
freeze
Voir
la
fleur
des
champs
primitive
se
figer
When
the
jelly-faced
women
all
sneeze
Lorsque
les
femmes
au
visage
de
gelée
éternuent
toutes
Hear
the
one
with
the
mustache
say,
"Jeez,
I
can't
find
my
knees"
Entends
celle
avec
la
moustache
dire
: "J'ai
l'impression
de
ne
pas
trouver
mes
genoux"
Oh,
jewels
and
binoculars
hang
from
the
head
of
the
mule
Oh,
les
bijoux
et
les
jumelles
pendent
de
la
tête
du
mulet
But
these
visions
of
Johanna,
they
make
it
all
seem
so
cruel
Mais
ces
visions
de
Johanna,
elles
font
que
tout
semble
si
cruel
The
peddler
now
speaks
to
the
countess
who's
pretending
to
care
for
him
Le
colporteur
parle
maintenant
à
la
comtesse
qui
prétend
s'occuper
de
lui
Sayin',
"Name
me
someone
that's
not
a
parasite
and
I'll
go
out
and
say
a
prayer
for
him"
En
disant
: "Nomme-moi
quelqu'un
qui
n'est
pas
un
parasite
et
j'irai
prier
pour
lui"
But
like
Louise
always
says
Mais
comme
Louise
le
dit
toujours
"Ya
can't
look
at
much,
can
ya
man?"
""Tu
ne
peux
pas
regarder
grand-chose,
hein,
mon
homme
?"
As
she,
herself,
prepares
for
him
Alors
qu'elle
se
prépare
elle-même
pour
lui
And
Madonna,
she
still
has
not
showed
Et
Madonna,
elle
n'est
toujours
pas
apparue
We
see
this
empty
cage
now
corrode
On
voit
cette
cage
vide
se
corroder
maintenant
Where
her
cape
of
the
stage
once
had
flowed
Où
son
capuchon
de
scène
avait
autrefois
coulé
The
fiddler,
he
now
steps
to
the
road
Le
violoniste,
il
marche
maintenant
sur
la
route
He
writes
ev'rything's
been
returned
which
was
owed
Il
écrit
que
tout
a
été
rendu,
ce
qui
était
dû
On
the
back
of
the
fish
truck
that
loads
Sur
le
dos
du
camion
à
poissons
qui
charge
While
my
conscience
explodes
Alors
que
ma
conscience
explose
The
harmonicas
play
the
skeleton
keys
and
the
rain
Les
harmonicas
jouent
les
clés
squelettes
et
la
pluie
And
these
visions
of
Johanna
are
now
all
that
remain
Et
ces
visions
de
Johanna
sont
maintenant
tout
ce
qui
reste
