Текст песни Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat) (Bob Dylan) с переводом

There’s a long-distance train rolling through the rain

Tears on the letter I write

There’s a woman I long to touch and I’m missin' her so much

But she’s drifting like a satellite

There’s a neon light ablaze in a green smoky haze

And laughter down on Elizabeth Street

There’s a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone

Where she bathed in a stream of pure heat

Her father would emphasize you got to be more than street-wise

But he practiced what he preached from the heart

A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted it to me

The time and the place that we’d part

There’s a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage

And a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage

And she winds back the clock and she turns back the page

Of a book that nobody can write

Oh, where are you tonight?

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure

To live it you had to explode

In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed

Sacrifice was the code of the road

I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John

Strong men belittled by doubt

I couldn’t tell her what my private thoughts were

But she had some way of finding them out

He took dead-center aim, but he missed just the same

She was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf

She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair

And discovered her invisible self

There’s a lion in the road, there’s a demon escaped

There’s a million dreams gone, there’s a landscape being raped

As her beauty fades and I watch her undrape

Well I won’t, but then maybe again, I might

Oh, if I could just find you tonight

I fought with my twin, that enemy within

Till both of us fell by the way

Horseplay and disease is killing me by degrees

While the law looks the other way

Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes

The man you were lovin' could never get clean

It felt out of place, my foot in his face

But he shoulda stayed where his money was green

I bit into the root of forbidden fruit

With the juice running down my leg

Then I dealt with your boss, who’d never known about loss

Who always was too proud to beg

There’s a white diamond gloom on the dark side of this room

And a pathway that leads up to the stars

If you don’t believe there’s a price for this sweet paradise

Just remind me to show you the scars

There’s a new day at dawn and I’ve finally arrived

If I’m-a there in the morning, baby, you’ll know I’ve survived

I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I’m alive

But without you it doesn’t seem right

Oh, where are you tonight?
