BOD DYLAN, THE NEW NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2016
US music legend Bob Dylan, whose poetic lyrics have influenced generations of fans, won the Nobel Literature Prize on Thursday, the first songwriter to win the award in a decision that stunned prize watchers.
The 75-year-old was honoured "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", the Swedish Academy said.
The choice was met by gasps and a long round of spontaneous applause from journalists attending the prize announcement. The folk rock singer had been mentioned in Nobel speculation over the years, but was never seen as a serious contender.
The Academy said Dylan's songs were "poetry for the ears" while acknowledging that some might find Dylan a "strange" choice. it is "poetry performed, together with instruments,"
Knocking On Heaven's Door
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin’ down
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Llamando a las puertas del cielo
Mamá, quítame esta insignia.
Ya no puedo seguir utilizándola.
Empieza a estar oscuro, demasiado oscuro para ver
me siento como si estuviese llamando a las puertas del cielo.
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo
Mamá, deja mis pistolas en el suelo,
ya no puedo dispararlas más.
Esa larga nube negra está descendiendo,
me siento como si estuviese llamando a las puertas del cielo.
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo
Llaman llaman llamando a las puertas del cielo.
