don't come knoking

Stavo pensando al perché ho iniziato ad imbrattare anche pagine elettroniche, forse non lo so neppure io. L’idea era quella di comunicare nel corso dei miei viaggi, poi mi sono reso conto che mi piace anche la musica, il cinema e un po’ anche la poesia.

Per scherzo ho aperto il blog l’altro ieri.

A corto di idee, giusto perché avevo visto il film di Wenders la sera prima, l’ho chiamato “Don’t come knocking”.

O forse non è neanche per scherzo …. ieri sentendo Bubola dal vivo, ho pensato a Faber, alle sue traduzioni di Dylan e a Dylan stesso e in particolare a  una sua canzone  ….. e il cerchio si chiude …. con un wenders profetico

IF YOU SEE HER SAY HELLO
words and music Bob Dylan
Lakeland, april 18, 1976

If you see her, say hello
She might be in North Saigon
She left here in a hurry
I don't know what she was on
You might say that I'm in disarray
And for me time's standing still
Oh, I've never gotten over her
I don't think I ever will

A bright light from me (?), I saw
A shattering of souls
Just one of them reckless situations
Which nobody controls
Well the menagerie of life rolls by
Right before my eyes
And we'll do the best we can
Which should come at no surprise

If you're makin' love to her
Watch it from the rear
You never know when I'll be back
Or liable to appear
Oh it's as natural to dream of peace
As it is for rules to break
But right now I got not much to lose
So you better stay awake

Sundown, silver moon
Hitting on the days
My head can't understand no more
What my heart don't tolerate
But I know she'll be back some day
Of that there is no doubt
And when that moment comes, Lord
Give me the strength to keep her out
