Bob Dylan - Love Minus Zero / No Limit Lyrics






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 a pawn must hold a grudge

Statues made of match-sticks
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

    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

  6. S.... W....

    Best song ever.

  7. R.... C....

    Best Dylan version of this (one of his best ever) though Rick Nelson's take is great too!

  8. m.... d....

    I'm just switching songs from ''the freewheelin bob dylan'' '' bringing it all back home'' ''highway 61'' ''blonde on blonde''
    Man...I have no words to describe this genius

  9. c.... z....

    "She knows too much to argue or judge."

    c.... z....

    Love that line (and try to remember it when I pointlessly argue cx)

  10. B.... ....

    How does a 24 year old write a song so magical, so creative, so beautiful?

  11. T.... F....

    Puts into words how I feel about my beautiful wife: True like ice, like fire. Valentines can't buy her. Dylan at his lyrical best :-)

  12. K.... B....

    Is that Sarah on the cover?

    K.... B....

    That's Sally Grossman. She was married to Dylan's manager Albert Grossman and Sara's close friend.

  13. W.... C....

    I love this song.....and yes, This album too. So much there to deeply ponder. Love minus Zero! ....with a broken wing.

  14. p.... p....

    As a 22 year old, this album has truly changed me.

    p.... p....

    Me, old old curmudgeon, feels you. Same happened to me when young, at the turn of the century...

    p.... p....

    Bob was only 24 when he recorded it.

    p.... p....

    I was 19. It expanded my mind more than school, parents or alcohol. Keep on going with who you are, don’t look back.

  15. L.... M....

    love with limits is no love at all. Thank's Bob Dylan for inspiration, you are the great🔈🔉🔊

  16. f.... ....

    pure genius

  17. B.... M....

    with no money in my pocket
    and not a hole to be seen
    i only had one question
    who last sewed my jeans

  18. B.... M....

    as i look around the streets
    i am in disbelief
    at the poverty that surrounds me
    as a rat passed me by
    and i cannot tell a lie
    it was the biggest one i had ever seen
    i saw a homeless man
    with no one around
    except for me
    i offered him my hand
    without any demands
    he didn't hesitate
    and said hey mate
    thanks for saving me

  19. k.... ....

    Such wonderful lyrics!

  20. b.... m....

    even my dad liked dylan...1922

  21. B.... E....

    I can't stop listening again & again to this beautiful love & folk timeless tale

  22. B.... G....

    oh my god Mr. dylan is the one who took me into poetry.....he is more than modern time shakespeare...

  23. y.... ....

    After 45 years of adoring this song, I suppose it's too late to stop now....


    She knows too much to argue or to judge.

  24. G.... ....

    So romantic, just so romantic

  25. j.... ....

    To Susan

  26. b.... m....

    this one and highway 61 are his greatest albums, bought them both on vinyl....1968

    b.... m....

    I would just add "Blonde on Blonde", and the underrated "John Wesley Harding".

  27. b.... m....

    for some reason brings tears to my eyes....i dont even know why ?

    b.... m....

    Same here, sometimes. It's beautiful, for one thing. It also makes me sad that such passion went away with my youth.

    b.... m....

    Because it's true

  28. J.... ....

    A música que eu mais gosto do Bob Dylan.

  29. R.... ....

    Many folkies howled "foul" when this album came out with electric guitars, drums, and bass. OMG. I like his electric stuff much better, though Blood On The Tracks is a masterpiece with little electric involved.

    R.... ....

    In 1965 or 66 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium, my mother got us tickets in the second row. The first half of the concert was acoustic, and the second half was electric. We thought it was great. By the way, Alan Ginsberg was in the first row center with a tape recorder. He taped the entire concert. I wonder where these tapes are.

  30. D.... N....

    God I wish this song could play forever and never end

  31. G.... S....

    Brilliant upload thanks for the opportunity to hear your music my friend congrats yours sincerely Gary

  32. T.... B....

    She knows too much to argue or to judge? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What do you think I'm here for? To suck your dick?

  33. T.... B....

    "I liked you better when I didn't know you," the people will probably think after meeting God too- so don't feel bad Bob. Like father like son.

  34. m.... n....

    what a great writer

  35. A.... H....

    Happy Birthday Bob Dylan

  36. G.... ....

    "Statues made of matchsticks crumble into one another" .... YES

  37. Z.... Z....

    Bob be honest with us, was Prometheus there by your side getting the fire from Zeus when you were after these gems? Human took the fire for granted just like so many Americans take you for granted.

    Z.... Z....

    damn that's well said!

  38. R.... ....

    A beautiful, beautiful song.

    R.... ....

    yes...and she belongs to me....

    The After Prison Show is actually one of my favorite channels here on YouTube. I'm a big fan of the average Joe.

  42. T.... B....

    Do you know what a "Concentration Camp" is Bob? That is where they sent me to concentrate. No job, no money, no honey, no nothing- just a whole lot of time. Doing time is something that is really familiar to me because every day with the Devil is a day I don't have to live again. Its time paid. Every day is too much. Yet every day passes, and tomorrows just keep on coming. Relentlessly. And you wish you could just kill yourself. You wish you didn't get raped when the lights were off and there was no one else around. You wish someone would just write back to you from the outside. And you wanted out- bad, when you first got in- but after a while, you were broken and just gave into wherever the system wanted to flush your life next. There was no thought of getting out, just surviving the day. Fights broke out and fists flew, then time in the hole, more time- endless time, forever with God itself. Eternity.

    T.... B....

    Your therapist can't help you.

    T.... B....

    I always wondered what rehab was like. Thanks!

    T.... B....

    There is love in the world, even for the banged up victims of violence. Trust that you are worth the trouble and then you will be loved. *hugs*

  43. s.... ....

    One of his many greatest, and I can't recall ever hearing a bad covered version of this song...

  44. C.... ....

    Bruce Langhorne brought me here.

    C.... ....

    Bob Dylan brought me here.

    My love, she speaks like silence
    내 사랑, 그녀는 침묵으로 보여줘요
    Without ideals or violence
    이상이나 폭력없이
    She doesn't have to say she's faithful
    그녀는 자신이 충실하다고 굳이 말할 필요가 없어요
    Yet she's true like ice, like fire
    그녀는 얼음같고, 불같이 진실돼요
    People carry roses
    사람들은 장미를 들고
    And make promises by the hour
    시간마다 사량을 약속하지만
    My love she laughs like the flowers
    내사랑 그녀는 꽃처럼 웃지요
    Valentines can't buy her
    발렌타인에도 그녀를 가질 수 없어요
    In the dime stores and bus stations
    구멍가게와 버스정류장에서
    People talk of situations
    사람들은 현상황을 이야기해요
    Read books, repeat quotations
    책을 읽고, 인용구를 반복해서
    Draw conclusions on the wall
    벽에 결론을 내려요
    Some speak of the future
    일부는 미래를 예측해요
    My love, she speaks softly
    내 사랑, 그녀가 점잖게 말해줘요
    She knows there's no success like failure
    그녀는 실패같은 성공이 없다는걸 알고
    And that failure's no success at all
    실패는 전혀 성공적이지 않은것도 알아요
    The cloak and dagger dangles
    망토와 단검이 달랑거리고
    Madams light the candles
    마담들은 촛불을 켜요
    In ceremonies of the horsemen
    기사(높은계층)의 승리 의식에
    Even the pawn must hold a grudge
    졸병(낮은계층)이라도 원한을 품어야 해요
    Statues made of matchsticks
    성냥으로 만든 조각들이
    Crumble into one another
    서로 부딪칩니다
    My love winks she does not bother
    나의 그녀가 자기는 신경안쓴다고 암시해줘요
    She knows too much to argue or to judge
    그녀는 논쟁하거나 판단하기에는 과하단걸 알거든요
    The bridge at midnight trembles
    자정에 교량이 흔들리고
    The country doctor rambles
    시골의사는 변명을 해요
    Bankers' nieces seek perfection
    은행원의 조카딸은 완벽을 추구해요
    Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
    현자가 모든 해답을 가져오길 기대하면서
    The wind howls like a hammer
    바람이 망치소리같이 울부짖고
    The night wind blows cold n' rainy
    밤바람에 차가운 비가 내려요
    My love, she's like some raven
    내사랑, 그녀는 까마귀 같네요
    At my window with a broken wing
    날개가 부러져 내 창문에 머무는

    You translated it into Korean. That's great. Don't know if the translation is any good (I don't speak Korean), but you deserve one "Like" from me for the effort. Songs are very hard to translate, especially Dylan's songs.

    Some people can take him or leave him ...but those that get dylan , well they go wayy deep.......joan biaz

  47. E.... D....

    My favorite love song. One of Dylan's best if not the best.

    E.... D....

    @im annonymous I was thinking only of love songs. But I agree, trying to pick a single Dylan song is next to Impossible.

    E.... D....

    Top ten Dylan this one ... so organic

  48. c.... ....

    A truly magical expression of love ~ Dylan did it again.....

    c.... ....

    he does have an uncanny, profound way of expressing love thru his lyrics ! loved his music in 65, and even more in 2019 ! just as profound...
