Lyrics and translation Envy On the Coast - All Along The Watchtower

All Along The Watchtower

"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

"Il doit y avoir un moyen de sortir d'ici," dit le clown au voleur,
"Il y a trop de confusion, je ne trouve pas de soulagement.
Les hommes d'affaires, ils boivent mon vin, les laboureurs creusent ma terre,
Aucun d'eux tout au long de la ligne ne sait quelle est la valeur de tout cela."

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

Tout au 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 s'est mis à hurler
