Long and Wasted Years

Bob Dylan

Transposer:

It's been such a long long time since we loved each other but our hearts were true. One time for one brief day I was the man for you. Last night I heard you talkin' in your sleep saying things you shouldn't say Oh baby you just might have to go to jail someday. Is there a place we can go is there anybody we can see? Maybe it's the same for you as it is for me. I ain't seen my family in twenty years.  That ain't easy to understand.  They may be dead by now? I lost track of 'em after they lost their land. Shake it up baby twist and shout you know what it's all about. What are you doin' out there in the sun anyway? Don't you know the sun can burn your brains right out. My enemy crashed into the dust.  Stopped dead in his tracks. And he lost his lust he was run down hard. And he broke apart he died in shame he had an iron heart. I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes. There are secrets in 'em that i can't disguise. Come back baby if I hurt your feelings I apologise. Two trains running side by side forty miles wide down the eastern line. You don't have to go I just came to you because you're a friend of mine. I think that when my back was turned the whole world behind me burned. It's been a while since we walked down that long long aisle. We cried on a cold and frosty morn we cried because our souls were torn. So much for tears so much for these long and wasted years.

La chanson évoque une douleur palpable due à la séparation et aux années perdues. Elle parle d'un amour passé qui, bien que sincère, semble avoir été entaché par le temps et les choix tragiques, laissant derrière lui des regrets profonds. L’artiste partage des souvenirs d’un bonheur éphémère et des réflexions sur la famille, perdue de vue et peut-être disparue, ainsi que sur les difficultés d’une vie marquée par des échecs et des remords. Dans ce tableau mélancolique, on sent l'urgence de retrouver un lien avec l'être aimé, accompagné d'une culpabilité et d'un désir de réconciliation. Les références aux luttes personnelles et aux craintes face à l'inévitabilité de la vie rendent le récit encore plus poignant. Ces années qui paraissent gaspillées sont donc un appel à la nostalgie et à la recherche de sens dans les relations humaines.
