Lyrics and translation DAVE MASON - All Along the Watchtower (見張り塔からずっと) [Live]

All Along the Watchtower (見張り塔からずっと) [Live]

"There must be some way out of here", said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

All Along the Watchtower (見張り塔からずっと) [Live]

"Il doit y avoir un moyen de sortir d'ici", a dit le joker au voleur,
"Il y a trop de confusion, je ne trouve aucun soulagement.
Les hommes d'affaires, ils boivent mon vin, les laboureurs creusent ma terre,
Aucun d'eux sur toute la ligne ne sait ce que tout cela vaut."

"Pas de raison de s'exciter", le voleur, il a gentiment parlé,
"Il y en a beaucoup parmi nous qui pensent que la vie n'est qu'une blague.
Mais toi et moi, on a vécu ça, et ce n'est pas notre destin,
Alors ne parlons pas faussement maintenant, l'heure est tardive."

Tout le long de la tour de guet, les princes gardaient la vue
Alors que toutes les femmes allaient et venaient, des servantes pieds nus, aussi.

Dehors, au loin, un chat sauvage a grogné,
Deux cavaliers approchaient, le vent a commencé à hurler.
