vol.50 Diamonds And Rust-Joan Baez

vol.50 早上好，今天是2016年3月18日，星期五 Joan Baez（琼·拜雅）在20世纪50年代末期投入美国民歌运动，她的嗓音近乎 完美，很快便在歌坛崭露头角。20世纪60年代她结识了被称为“民谣之父”的 Bob Dylan（鲍勃·迪伦），两人惺惺相惜，彼此倾慕对方才华，于是产生恋情 。此后，两人四处演唱时，几乎形影不离，是当时人人称羡的神仙眷属。只可惜 这段感情最后还是无疾而终。 Joan Baez在1975年写下《Diamonds And Rust》，纪念她和Bob Dylan两人之间 有如钻石与铁锈般的爱情。歌词有些长而且晦涩，毕竟描写的是Joan Baez的心 境。当一个人把自己比喻成铁锈，却把内心深爱的人比喻成钻石，这是什么样的 心境？ Diamonds And Rust-JOAN BAEZ well , i"ll be damned .here comes your ghost again 我的老天!你的魅影又再度出现 but that"s not unusual 但这并非是不寻常的 it"s just that the moon is full and you happened to call 只因今晚月圆而你又恰巧打电话来 and here i sit, hand on the telephone 我坐在这儿,手持电话 hearing a voice i"d known, a couple of light years ago 听着我熟悉的声音,那是几个光年以前 heading straight for a fall 彷佛不断的向下坠落 as i remember your eyes 我依稀记得你的眼睛 were bluer than robin"s eggs 比知更鸟的蛋更蓝 my poetry was lousy, you said 那时，你说我写的诗糟透了 "where were you calling from?"
