Went to see the gypsy
Staying in a big hotel
He smiled when he saw me coming
And he said, "Well, well, well"
His room was dark and crowded
Lights were low and dim
"How are you" he said to me
I said it back to him.
I went down to the lobby
To make a small call out
A pretty dancing girl was there
And she began to shout
"Go on back to see the gypsy
He can move you from the rear
Drive you from your fear
Bring you through the mirror
He did it in Las Vegas
And he can do it here".
Outside the lights were shining
On the river of tears
I watched them from the distance
With the music in my ears.
I went back to see the gypsy
It was nearly early dawn
The gypsy's door was open wide
But the gypsy was gone
And that pretty dancing girl
She could not be found
So I watched that sun come rising
From that little Minnesota town.
Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota on May 24, 1941, is an American singer-songwriter, composer, writer, poet, painter, actor, and radio host. Considered one of the most influential figures of the last fifty years in music, popular culture, and literature, Dylan has profoundly marked the history of American music. His career began in the 1960s, when he emerged as a key figure in the American protest movement. Songs like *Blowin' in the Wind* and *The Times They Are A-Changin'* became anthems for pacifist and civil rights movements. The lyrics of his early songs addressed political, social, and philosophical themes, influenced by literary authors such as Walt Whitman and William Blake, challenging the conventions of pop music and appealing to the counterculture of the time. Over the years, Dylan has expanded and personalized his musical style, exploring genres such as country, blues, rock, and gospel. Among his most important albums: *The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan* (1963), *Bringing It All Back Home* (1965) and *Highway 61 Revisited* (1965). In 1976 he released the album *Desire*, marking a new chapter in his career with blues and country influences. In 2016, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature «for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition».
