Lyrics and translation The Jeff Healey Band - All Along The Watchtower - Live

All Along The Watchtower - 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, plowman dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"

"No need to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke

But you and I, we′ve been through that, and that 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 - Live

"Il doit y avoir un moyen de sortir d'ici",
Dit le joker au voleur
"Il y a trop de confusion, je ne peux obtenir aucun soulagement
Les hommes d'affaires boivent mon vin, le laboureur creuse ma terre,
Aucun d'eux le long de la ligne ne sait ce que tout cela vaut"

"Pas besoin de s'exciter," le voleur, il parla gentiment,
"Il y en a beaucoup ici parmi nous qui pensent que la vie n'est qu'une blague

Mais toi et moi, nous avons 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
