It's was raining from the first and I was dying there of thirst

Hoy, aquellos que no conocen/escuchan/gustan de Dylan tanto como los que lo idolatran (caso de la que les escribe), nos tomamos 5 minutos y escuchamos esta canción prestándole atención a la letra. Cuando termine, suspiran y algunos finalmente entenderán, otros reafirmaremos, que el viejo Bob es el mejor compositor que los Dioses nos han regalado.



Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev’rybody knows
That Baby’s got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she’s my friend
Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can’t be blessed
Till she sees finally that she’s like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what’s worse
Is this pain in here
I can’t stay in here
Ain’t it clear that—

I just can’t fit
Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl


Ahora junten los pedazos de corazón que se les acaban de caer.

  1. Hola. Todo el álbum "Blonde on Blonde" es genial y uno de los básicos para poder entrarle a Bob Dylan. No podría confirmarlo pero dicen que The Hawks (banda que acompaña a Dylan en este álbum) eran una gran banda para escucharse en vivo, aún así las interpretaciones en el disco son soberbias.

    "Just Like a Woman" junto con "I Want You" son dos de las rolas clásicas de ése álbum. Me gusta como después de "Just Like a Woman" sigue "Most Like You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine". También están "Stuck Inside Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again" excelente para la carretera, la carnavalesca "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" con la que abre el disco, las baladas "Pledging My Time" y "Visions of Johanna", y para cerrar, la larguísima y azotada "Sad Lady Of The Low Lands".

    Saludos, que tengas excelente fin de semana.
