Jokerman BOB DYLAN
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
水の上に立ちパンを与えている
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists
while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
＊
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don’t show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could’ve carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
It’s a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey
A woman just gave birth to a prince today
and dressed him in scarlet
He’ll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street and
place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don’t show any response

@luminous woman: 《Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?》
（自由はあなたにとってもうそこまで来ているが
真理がそんなに遠くにあるのなら 何の益があるだろう）
This theme brings to mind Dostoevsky.
《Dostoievsky had warned people of the 'grand inquisitors' who presume to take upon themselves the responsibility for other people's happiness.》
（Sculpting in Time: Andrey Tarkovsky）
Furthermore, this piece features calypso rhythms and a critical spirit.
この主題はドストエフスキーを連想させる。
《すでにドストエフスキーは、他人の幸福のためにみずから責任を身に引き受けようとする〈大審問官〉には注意しなければならないと、人々に警告していた。》
（タルコフスキー 『映像のポエジア』より）
さらに言えばこの曲にあるのはカリプソのリズムと批判精神だ。
