Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And my ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you
Though you might hear laughing, spinning
Swinging madly across the Sun, it's not aimed at anyone
It's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine, in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you
And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you

biography of bob dylan
Bob Dylan (1941), stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, was born in Duluth, Minnesota, United States, on May 24, 1941. Grandson of Russian and Jewish immigrants, in childhood, he learned to play harmonica and guitar influenced by the songs of Hank Williams, American folk singer. I also enjoyed listening to Little Richard.
Bob Dylan began his career performing in concerts and bars in the early 60's, emerging with cryptic and beautiful lyrics, with his swanky voice and reinvented folk as something people had never heard before. His originality accompanied him throughout his career. In 1961, he opened for John Lee Hooker. After the event, he was hired by producer John Hammond.
Dylan achieved recognition with the album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963), his second with Columbia Records. The great success of the album was “Blowin in the Wind”, an emblematic song, considered one of the greatest in his musical repertoire. In the following years, he recorded "Mr Tambourine Man", "Like a Rolling Stone", the latter, after being involved with controversy in 1965, at the Newport Festival, for having inserted electric guitar in his songs, which displeased fans of more conservative folk. In 1969, on the album "Nashville Skyline", the song "Lay Lady Lay" was featured.
From the 70's on, Dylan didn't have the same energy for songwriting. Even so, the song "Hurricane" (1976) was the success of the album "Desire". In the phase that converted to Christianity, he composed "Slow Train Comming", "Saved" and "Shot of Love".
The 80s and 90s were not musically fertile periods for Dylan, but the song "Jokerman" was a hit in the 80s. After a long time with creations without much prominence, he released the album "Time Out of Mind" in 1998 , considered one of the greatest works of his career.
Dylan influenced important artists and bands like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The song “Like a Rolling Stone” was considered by Rolling Stone magazine as the best of the 20th century.
Averse to labels, he always abhorred being framed among the authors of "protest songs", despite the recurring use of classics such as "Blowin in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin" to complain against governments, against politicians and against everything.
On May 3, 2012, Bob Dylan was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. At the ceremony, Dylan was decorated by President Barack Obama, who was full of praise for the singer, but Dylan entered silent and left silent, in his style. On October 13, 2016, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature.
