Mr Tambourine Man Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

[Verse 1]
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

[Chorus]
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

[Verse 2]
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

[Chorus]
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

[Verse 3]
Though you might hear laughing, spinning swinging madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seeing that he's chasing

[Chorus]
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

[Verse 4]
Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

[Chorus]
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Mr tambourine man

嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
我還不想睡，而且無處可歸 
嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
在這鏗鏘的早晨
讓我與你同去

儘管我知道，黃昏的帝國已經歸於塵土，
從我的手心消逝，
扔下我茫然在此佇立，卻了無睏意
我筋疲力竭，驚奇不已，
兩隻腳都烙著印記，
我不會和誰相遇，
古遠無人的街上不宜夢想，太過死寂

嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
我還不想睡，而且無處可歸
嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
在這鏗鏘的早晨
讓我與你同去

帶我上路吧，登上你魔樣渦漩的船，
我的知覺褪盡，雙手難以抓緊，
腳趾麻木，再也挪不動步子，
只能等待靴跟，任它們四處遊蕩
我準備出發，無論去向何方，
我願意消失，藏身自己的遊行隊伍
且向我施你的跳舞咒語，
我一定聽從它的魔力

嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
我還不想睡，而且無處可歸
嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
在這鏗鏘的早晨
讓我與你同去

儘管你也許聽見笑聲，旋轉著，
瘋狂地擺盪，橫越烈陽，
那並不針對誰，只是一場逃亡
況且藍天之外，別無柵欄阻擋
若你還聽見模糊的痕跡，
韻腳跳躍旋轉，與你的鈴鼓唱和，
那祇是一個小丑，跟在身後，破衣爛衫
我並不介意，畢竟他要捕捉的，只是
你眼裡的一抹影子

嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
我還不想睡，而且無處可歸
嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
在這鏗鏘的早晨
讓我與你同去

然後帶我消失，穿過意識的重重煙圈，
沈入霧氣籠罩的時光廢墟，
越過結冰的寒葉，遠離陰森戰慄的樹木，
來到多風的沙灘，
和瘋狂憂愁的曲折邊界，遙遙隔開
是的，在鑽石的天空下起舞，
一隻手自在地揮呀揮
側影反襯著海水，
四周是圓場的黃沙
帶著一切記憶與命運，
深深潛到波濤之下，
且讓我忘卻今日，直到明天

嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
我還不想睡，而且無處可歸
嘿！鈴鼓先生，為我奏一曲
在這鏗鏘的早晨
讓我與你同去
