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
O meu amor fala como o silêncio
Without ideals or violence
Sem ideais ou violência
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Ela não precisa dizer que é fiel
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
Mas ela é verdadeira, como o gelo, como o fogo
People carry roses
As pessoas carregam rosas
And make promises by the hours
E fazem promessas a toda hora
My love she laughs like the flowers
O meu amor ri como as flores
Valentines can't buy her
Valentines não podem comprá-la
In the dime stores and bus stations
Nas lojas de dez centavos e estações de ônibus
People talk of situations
As pessoas falam de situações
Read books, repeat quotations
Lêem livros, repetem citações
Draw conclusions on the wall
Desenham conclusões na parede
Some speak of the future
Alguns falam do futuro
My love she speaks softly
O meu amor fala suavemente
She knows there's no success like failure
Ela sabe que não há sucesso como o fracasso
And that failure's no success at all
E que o fracasso não é sucesso de todo
The cloak and dagger dangles
A capa e a adaga balançam
Madams light the candles
Madames acendem as velas
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Em cerimônias dos cavaleiros
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
Até o peão deve guardar rancor
Statues made of matchsticks
Estátuas feitas de palitos de fósforo
Crumble into one another
Desmoronam umas nas outras
My love winks, she does not bother
O meu amor pisca, ela não se incomoda
She knows too much to argue or to judge
Ela sabe demais para discutir ou julgar
