Jokerman Lyrics – Vampire Weekend
Singer: Vampire Weekend
Title: Jokerman
Someone was holding up a sign that said—what did it say, “eight minute ‘Oxford Comma’”? I’m sorry, that—that was relati— Next time. We got you next time, we’ll bring that eight-minute “Oxford Comma.” Um, we’d like to do a cover for you guys, if you don’t mind. And this song is very special to us, because—uh, not only is it a song by the great Bob Dylan, it uh, it went on to inspire one of the greatest fonts of all time. It’s called “Jokerman.”
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into thе mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists whilе a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with 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 from the persecutor within
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
You’re a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you’re the dream twister
You’re going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain’t nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, friend to the woman of shame
Look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
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
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Well, the rifleman’s stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who’ll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time ’til the night comes rushing in
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
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
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

Jokerman – Terjemahan / Translation
Seseorang memegang tanda yang mengatakan – apa yang dikatakan, “Delapan menit ‘Oxford Comma'”? Maaf, itu – itu relati— lain kali. Kami membuat Anda lain kali, kami akan membawa “Oxford Comma” delapan menit itu. Um, kami ingin melakukan penutup untuk kalian, jika Anda tidak keberatan. Dan lagu ini sangat istimewa bagi kami, karena – uh, bukan hanya lagu oleh Bob Dylan yang hebat, itu eh, ia terus menginspirasi salah satu font terhebat sepanjang masa. Ini disebut “Jokerman.”
Berdiri di perairan yang melempar roti Anda
s#mentara mata idola dengan kepala besi bersinar
Kapal jauh berlayar ke kabut
Anda dilahirkan dengan seekor ular di kedua tinju saat badai sedang meniup
Kebebasan hanya sekitar sudut untuk Anda
Tetapi dengan kebenaran sejauh ini, apa gunanya?
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Jadi dengan cepat matahari terbenam di langit
Anda bangkit dan mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada siapa pun
Orang bodoh terburu -buru di mana malaikat takut menginjak
Kedua masa depan mereka, begitu penuh ketakutan, Anda tidak menunjukkannya
Menumpahkan satu lapisan kulit lagi
Menjaga selangkah lebih maju dari penganiaya di dalam
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Anda adalah pria dari pegunungan, Anda bisa berjalan di atas awan
Manipulator orang banyak, Anda adalah Twister impian
Anda akan pergi ke Sodom dan Gomorrah
Tapi apa yang kamu pedulikan? Bukan siapa pun di sana yang ingin menikah dengan adikmu
Teman untuk martir, teman wanita yang malu
Lihatlah ke tungku yang berapi -api, lihat orang kaya tanpa nama apa pun
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Nah, Kitab Leviticus dan Ulangan
Hukum hutan dan laut adalah satu -satunya guru Anda
Di asap senja dengan kuda putih susu
Michelangelo memang bisa mengukir fitur Anda
Beristirahat di ladang, jauh dari ruang yang bergejolak
Setengah tertidur di dekat bintang -bintang dengan seekor anjing kecil menjilati wajah Anda
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Nah, si penumpang menguntit orang sakit dan timpang
Pengkhotbah mencari hal yang sama, siapa yang akan sampai di sana terlebih dahulu tidak pasti
Tegangan Tegangan dan meriam air, gas air mata, gembok
Molotov Cocktails and Rocks di belakang setiap tirai
Hakim berhati palsu sekarat di jaring yang mereka putar
Hanya masalah waktu sampai malam datang bergegas masuk
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Ini adalah dunia yang gelap, langit berwarna abu -abu licin
Seorang wanita baru saja melahirkan seorang pangeran hari ini dan mendandani itu dengan merah
Dia akan menempatkan imam di sakunya, meletakkan pisau itu ke dalam panas
Bawa anak -anak tanpa ibu dari jalan
Dan letakkan di kaki pelacur
Oh, Jokerman, Anda tahu apa yang dia inginkan
Oh, Jokerman, Anda tidak menunjukkan tanggapan apa pun
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
Jokerman Dance to the Nightingale Tune
Burung terbang tinggi di dekat cahaya bulan
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman
