Love Minus Zero/No Limit
Bob Dylan
My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all
The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
Statues made of matchsticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge
The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows rainy
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing
My love she speaks like silence
Meine Liebe, sie spricht wie die Stille
Without ideals or violence
Ohne Ideale oder Gewalt
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Sie muss nicht sagen, dass sie treu ist
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
Doch sie ist wahr, wie Eis, wie Feuer
People carry roses
Menschen tragen Rosen
And make promises by the hours
Und geben Versprechen stündlich
My love she laughs like the flowers
Meine Liebe, sie lacht wie die Blumen
Valentines can't buy her
Valentinstage können sie nicht kaufen
In the dime stores and bus stations
In den Billigläden und Busbahnhöfen
People talk of situations
Sprechen die Leute von Situationen
Read books, repeat quotations
Lesen Bücher, wiederholen Zitate
Draw conclusions on the wall
Ziehen Schlüsse an der Wand
Some speak of the future
Einige sprechen von der Zukunft
My love she speaks softly
Meine Liebe, sie spricht leise
She knows there's no success like failure
Sie weiß, dass es keinen Erfolg gibt wie das Scheitern
And that failure's no success at all
Und dass Scheitern überhaupt kein Erfolg ist
The cloak and dagger dangles
Der Mantel und Degen baumeln
Madams light the candles
Madams zünden die Kerzen an
In ceremonies of the horsemen
In Zeremonien der Reiter
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
Sogar der Bauer muss einen Groll hegen
Statues made of matchsticks
Statuen aus Streichhölzern
Crumble into one another
Zerfallen ineinander
My love winks, she does not bother
Meine Liebe zwinkert, sie stört es nicht
She knows too much to argue or to judge
Sie weiß zu viel, um zu streiten oder zu urteilen
