The Times They Are A-Changin’ - Bob Dylan, Nobel da Literatura 2016

Come gather ’round people

 Wherever you roam

 And admit that the waters

 Around you have grown

 And accept it that soon

 You’ll be drenched to the bone

 If your time to you is worth savin’

 Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone

 For the times they are a-changin’

 Come writers and critics

 Who prophesize with your pen

 And keep your eyes wide

 The chance won’t come again

 And don’t speak too soon

 For the wheel’s still in spin

 And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’

 For the loser now will be later to win

 For the times they are a-changin’

 Come senators, congressmen

 Please heed the call

 Don’t stand in the doorway

 Don’t block up the hall

 For he that gets hurt

 Will be he who has stalled

 There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’

 It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

 For the times they are a-changin’

 Come mothers and fathers

 Throughout the land

 And don’t criticize

 What you can’t understand

 Your sons and your daughters

 Are beyond your command

 Your old road is rapidly agin’

 Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand

 For the times they are a-changin’

 The line it is drawn

 The curse it is cast

 The slow one now

 Will later be fast

 As the present now

 Will later be past

 The order is rapidly fadin’

 And the first one now will later be last

 For the times they are a-changin’

Long And Wasted Years

It's been such a long long time
Since we loved each other and 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 may 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 doing 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 apologize
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

Bob Dylan
