Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don’t matter, anyhow
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
So don’t think twice, it’s all right
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
I can’t hear you anymore
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

Sí, me apetecía rendirle un diminuto homenaje a una gran gran canción que me acompañó en innumerables ocasiones hace ya unos buenos años. Escrita por Dylan en el '63, es una de esas que indudablemente me vería forzado a incluir en una hipotética lista de "All Time Favourites". Esa lista que de tan extensa es imposible de redactar sin cometer alguna injusticia, ya sea por la calidad o por el significado personal. Pues esta canción entraría sin dudarlo. Versioneada hasta la saciedad por todo tipo de artistas y no tan artistas, no me resisto a poner la interpretación que realizó el grandísimo Johnny Cash en un festival en 1964. Algún día que me encuentre inspirado hablaré de Johnny Cash. Hoy no estoy en forma y para hacerle justicia hay que estar en plenitud de facultades.
