Joan Baez—Diamonds and Rust

天是红河岸

Joan Baez（琼拜雅）这位美国民谣之后，就有好几首这样的传世之作，如“Donna , Donna”、“The night they drove old Dixies down”及“Diamonds and rust”等。其中“Diamonds and rust”是一首难度较高的曲子。
琼拜雅的嗓音清亮、纯净，技巧成熟，许多知名作曲家都乐意提供作品给她唱，因而她比较知名的曲子大都不是自己所写，“Diamonds and rust.”是她自己谱写的歌曲中最为人熟知的一首。
这首歌的歌词冗长，意象繁复，许多人纵使查完英文生字，也无法了解其中意涵。原因是歌词中所讲的是琼拜雅个人的一段恋情。
琼拜雅於50年代末投入美国民歌运动，进入60年代，她遇见了巴布狄伦（Bob Dylan，后来被尊称为“民谣摇滚之父”最着名的作品是“Blowing in the wind”），两人惺惺相惜，彼此都十分赏识对方的才华，而开展了一段秘密恋情。
这段感情到最后无疾而终。1975年，琼拜雅写了这首曲子，以当年两人亦师亦友的感情为主轴，后来“钻石与铁锈”也被认为是她最好的一首创作曲。
「钻石」在英文中常常被比喻为“回忆里美好的事物”，有一首歌名叫“Some days are diamonds，some days are stones.”其比喻类似，至於「铁锈」、「石头」则用来比喻“回忆中不美好的事物”。

其实不知道这个背景听这首歌，亦有别样况味。






第二个视频，Joan Baez把ten years改成了twenty years.转眼间十年已成为了二十年。

Diamonds and rust

Joan Baez

Well , I'll be damned .Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full and you happened to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known, a couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy, you said
"Where were you calling from?"
"A booth in the Midwest"
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamond and rust

Well, you burst on the scene were already a legend
The unwatched phenomenon,
the original vagabond you strayed into my arms
And there you stayed ,temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes, the girl on the half shell
Could keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
with brown leaves falling all around
Snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles
and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who're so good with words
and at keeping thing vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes , I love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
