SARA
Tal dia com hui de 2005, al principi de la seua gira canadenca, el monstre va sorprendre a tots amb aquesta antològica declaració d'amor, poesia pura. Quelcom al què no estavem habituats, emmig de tanta cançò protesta.
Era per a la seua, aleshores, dona Sara Dylan. Encara hi haurien dues meravelles més, també dedicades a ella "Sad Eyes lady of the Lowlands" (composada en el londinenc 'posh' barri de Chelsea, ara sols famós pel futbol) i "Wedding song"
Sempre li tiren en cara que no hi haja en la seua extensíssima obra cap cançò dedicada a Joan Baez, en segon pla a la foto, companya en tantes lluites i ex amant. El dylanians, però, sabem que eixa cançò existeix, des de molt abans que les esmentades. Es tracta de "Ain't me, babe". Parlarem d'ella més endevant. Ara gaudim de "Sara"...intentarem ficar-li so un altre dia:

Sara lyrics
I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
You were always so close and still within reach.
Sara, Sara,
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara, Sara,
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand,
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill
Sara, Sara,
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
Sara, Sara,
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar,
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.
Sara, Sara,
It's all so clear, I could never forget,
Sara, Sara,
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells,
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through,
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel,
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
Sara, Sara,
Wherever we travel we're never apart.
Sara, oh Sara,
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.
Sara, oh Sara,
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress,
Sara, Sara,
You must forgive me my unworthiness.
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
You always responded when I needed your help,
You gimme a map and a key to your door.
Sara, oh Sara,
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow,
Sara, oh Sara,
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
Bob Dylan
