Moons and Junes

Rekordsein med månadens dikt, altså førre månads dikt, altså junidiktet. Dette diktet har eg etterkvart fått eit nært tilhøve til, ettersom eg òg prøvde meg på ei attdikting av dette til Joni Mitchell-tevlinga som eg nemnde i førre post. Grunna lita tid og dårleg nett, postar eg likevel ikkje mi omsetjing no. Her kjem altså originalversjonen, som Mitchell fyrst spelte inn på plata Clouds i 1969.

Both sides, now

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds
At all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave «em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love
At all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say «I love you» right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost but something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life
At all

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life
At all
