| A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall(소낙비) - Bob Dylan | | |
1962년 당시에 있었던 쿠바의 미사일 위협으로 인해 고조된 전쟁의 기운에 대한 경고성 메세지가 있는 곡이다.
미-소 양국의 냉전이 잔재했던 당시의 시대적 상황에 대한 우려감이 드러나 있다. 여기서 hard rain은 미사일이나 폭격을 의미한다. 나즈막하고 조용히 시작되다 점차 힘을 더해가는 딜런의 목소리가 인상적이다. 우리나라에서는 "소낙비"라는 제목으로 양병집이나 이연실이 불렀었다. 기아 상태에 있던 방글라데시를 돕기 위한 자선 공연으로 71년 8월 1일, 뉴욕의 매디슨 스퀘어 가든에서 펼쳐졌다. 이 공연은 비틀즈의 멤버였던 조지 해리슨의 노력에 의해서 실현되었는데, 비틀즈의 옛 동료였던 링고 스타와 밥 딜런 등 다수의 유명 뮤지션들이 찬조 출연함.
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one ?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one ?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one ?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one ?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
