Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Johnny works in factory and Billy works downtown. Terry works in a rock and roll band. Lookin' for that million-dollar sound. I got a little job down in Darlington. But some nights I don't go. Some nights I go to the drive-in, or some nights I stay home. I followed that dream just like those guys do up on the screen. And I drive a Challenger down route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad scenes. When the promise was broken, I cashed in a few of my dreams.
Well now I built that Challenger by myself. But I needed money and so I sold it. I live a secret I should' a kept to myself. But I got drunk one night and I told it. All my life I fought this fight. The fight that no man can ever win. Every day it just gets harder to live. This dream I'm believing in. Thunder Road, oh baby you were so right. Thunder Road, there's somethin' dyin' on the highway tonight.
I won big once and I hit the coast. But somehow I paid the big cost. Inside I felt like I was carryin' the broken spirits. Of all the other ones who lost. When the promise is broken you go on living. But it steals something from down in your soul. Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference. Somethin' in your heart goes cold. I followed that dream through the southwestern flats. That dead ends in two-bit bars. And when the promise was broken I was far away from home. Sleepin' in the backseat of a borrowed car. Thunder Road, for the lost lovers and all the fixed games. Thunder Road, for the tires rushing by in the rain. Thunder Road, Billy and me we'd always say. Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all and throw it all away.
私達は山の上に棲んでいる we live on a mountain 山の頂上に right at the top 頂上からの眺めは there's a beautiful view 美しい from the top of the mountain 私達は毎朝崖まで行って every morning I walk towards the edge いろんな小物を投げ捨てる and throw little things off 例えば like: 車のパーツとか缶とかフォークとかスプーン car parts, bottles and cutlery or whatever そこらにあるものは何でも I find lying around
これが習慣になってしまったの it's become a habit a way こうやって 一日を始めることが to start the day
あなたが目覚める前に I go through all this やっておくの before you wake up そうすると幸せな気分になれて so I can feel happier 山の上であなたと幸せに暮らせるから to be safe up here with you
朝とても早い時間だから it's real early morning 誰も起きていない no-one is awake わたしは、また崖のところに戻って I'm back at my cliff いろいろ投げ捨てる still throwing things off 落ちていく時の音に I listen to the sound 耳を傾け they make on their way down 岩の上で潰れるまで目で追うの I follow with my eyes 'til they crash わたしの身体が岩に叩き付けられたら imagine what my body would sound like どんな感じかしらって想像してしまう slamming against those rocks
地上に落ちたとき when it lands わたしの目は will my eyes つぶっているかしら開いているかしら be closed or open
あなたが目覚める前に I go through all this やっておくの before you wake up そうすると幸せな気分になれて so I can feel happier 山の上であなたと幸せに暮らせるから to be safe up here with you
