باب دیلن

‌‌Bob Dylan's Dream آهنگي است كه باب ديلن شعر آن را در سال 1962 نوشت و در سال 1963 در آلبوم The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ريليز كرد.متن نوستال‍ژيك اين آهنگ،نوعي پيروي از عواطف و احساساتي را فاش مي كند كه به نظر مي رسد به وودي گاتري(Woody Guthrie،خواننده، شاعر و آهنگسازی که او را پدر موسیقی اعتراض میدانند)،بت باب ديلن!،برگردد.

ملودي و قسمتي از متن آهنگ،از يك قطعه رمانتيك و سنتي ايرلندي نشات گرفته است(قطعه اي به نام Lady Franklin's lament).

عنوان اين آهنگ (يعني همون Bob Dylan's Dream ) در كاور آلبوم Beggar's Banquet از گروه رولينگ استون (Rolling Stone) ديده مي شود.

متن آهنگ

While riding on a train goin' west
feel asleep for take my a rest
I dreamed a dream that make me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.

With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin' and singing 'till the early hours of the morn'.

By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were songs
Where we longed for nothin' and were satisfied
Joking and talking about the world outside.

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Our chances really was a million to one.

As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices they were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.

How many a year has passed and gone
Many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I've never seen again.

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.
