Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good-lookin' girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don't care what in the world you do

I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe
I don't care what in the world you do

She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while
No, no, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
No, no, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, babe
I don't care what in the world you do

No, no, ma'ma, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe
I don't care what in the world you do

I tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want me, give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you




I got blood in my eyes for you, babe
I don't care what in the world you do

Overall Meaning

It is likely that the singer of the song is experiencing lust or profound attraction towards a woman he has seen. He is so enamored that he has "blood in his eyes." This hyperbolic statement implies that he is completely consumed and blinded by his infatuation. Throughout the song, he continues to express this infatuation, revealing that he is willing to do whatever it takes to be with her, including giving her money. It appears that his primary goal is attraction, satisfaction and immediate gratification as he does not care what she does, as long as she is with him.


The lyrics represent a common theme in many blues songs where men objectify women and view them purely as sexual objects. The singer of the song views the woman as a means to an end rather than as a person with feelings and emotions. Despite this, the song still manages to capture the listener's attention, with its simplistic and repetitive structure.


Overall, Blood In My Eyes is a song that speaks to the darker impulses of human nature. The lyrics reveal the singer’s desire, desperation and lack of morals, which can resonate with listeners who have also experienced overwhelming sexual desire or attraction.

Sangue Nos Olhos
1. Acordei esta manhã, sentindo tristeza
Vi uma garota linda, posso fazer amor com você?
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você, baby
Não importa o que quer que você faça no mundo

2. Voltei para casa, coloquei minha gravata
Vou conseguir o tipo de garota que dinheiro pode comprar
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você, baby
Não importa o que quer que você faça no mundo

3. Ela olhou para mim, começou a sorrir
Disse: "Ei, ei, cara, não pode esperar um pouco?"
Não, não, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Não, não, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Tenho sangue nos olhos por você, baby
Não importa o que quer que você faça no mundo

Instrumental

4. Não, não, querida, não posso esperar
Você pegou meu dinheiro, agora tenta desmarcar nosso encontro
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você, baby
Não importa o que quer que você faça no mundo

5. Eu conto algo, te digo os fatos
Você não me quer, devolva meu dinheiro
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Ei, ei, baby, eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você
Eu tenho sangue nos olhos por você, bab

Bob Dylan is simply one of the greatest to ever strap on a guitar and sing his poems for us common folk!He is a magician with his words and architectural genuis with the melodies💜Love ya Mr.Dylan!

Whenever I’ve had a rough day I play some Dylan and all those troubles go away

carnia mellato

Scopro Dylan nel 2023. Dopo aver ascoltato diverse sue canzoni, le trovo veramente belle, attuali, geniali sì.

carnia mellato

Ho letto le vicissitudini del Nobel, cercando la motivazione dell'assegnazione. Ora so perché Patty si è scordata la canzone...Non era perfettamente sicura di far piacere a Dylan di partecipare attivamente all'assegnazione. Travagliata, pare, da quel che leggo. Non si può essere sicuri di nulla. Mia madre diceva nemmeno delle proprie budella, al momento meno opportuno si manifestano.

carnia mellato

Mi fa piacere che lei abbia trovato in Dylan una modalità di superare qualche avversità.

" flowers", by Miley Cyrus that will lift your soul. Peace/🎵

Paul Stanley

I think he knows that when he writes his songs
