Nick Cave – I Had A Dream, Joe

I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream, Joe
You were standing in the middle of an open road
I had a dream, Joe
Your hands were raised up to the sky
And your mouth was covered in foam
I had a dream, Joe
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
I had a dream, Joe
And a society of whores stuck
needles in an image of me
I had a dream, Joe
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
And in that dream, Joe
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
And pointed his finger at me
I had a dream,
I had a dream,
I had a dream, Joe
I opened my eyes, Joe
The night had been a giant,
dribbling and pacing the boards
I opened my eyes, Joe
All your letters and cards
stacked up against the door
I opened my eyes, Joe
The morning light came slowly
tumbling through the crack
In the window, Joe
And I thought of you and I
felt like I was lugging
A body on my back
I had a dream,
I had a dream,
I had a dream, Joe
Where did you go, Joe?
On that endless, senseless, demented drift
Where did you go, Joe?
Into the woods, into the trees,
where you move and shift
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up in your
ridiculous seersucker suit
Where did you go, Joe?
With that strew of wreckage
Forever at the heel of your boot
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe

Prevod na srpski

Sanjao sam nešto, Džo

Sanjao sam
Sanjao sam
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
Ti si stajao na sred puta
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
sa rukama podignutim ka nebu
a usne su ti bile prekrivene penom
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
senoviti Isus leteo je s drveta na drvo
Sanjao sam jedan san, Džo
a udruženje kurvi zabadalo je
igle u neku sliku mene
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
Bila je jesen a lišće opalo u debelom sloju
I u tom snu, Džo
neki makro u odelu od krepa sisao je čačkalicu
i upro prstom u mene
Sanjao sam nešto,
Sanjao sam nešto,
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
Otvorio sam oči, Džo
Ta noć je bila jedan div
što je driblovao i tapkao po daskama*
Otvorio sam oči, Džo
sva tvoja pisma i razglednice
naslagana uz vrata
Otvorio sam oči, Džo
Jutarnja svetlost došla je lagano
stropoštavajući se kroz pukotinu
u prozoru, Džo
I setio sam se tebe i mene
imao sam osećaj kao da teglim
neko telo na svojim leđima
Sanjao sam nešto,
Sanjao sam nešto,
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
Gde si otišao, Joe?
u tom beskrajnom, besmislenom, poremećenom zanosu
Gde si otišao, Joe?
u šumu, među drva
gde se krećeš i premeštaš
Gde si otišao, Joe?
skroz sređen u tvom
bezveznom odelu od krepa
Gde si otišao, Joe?
sa tim komadima olupine
zauvek na potpetici tvoje čizme
Sanjao sam nešto
Sanjao sam nešto
Sanjao sam jedan san, Džo
Sanjao sam nešto
Sanjao sam nešto
Sanjao sam nešto, Džo
