Illustration musicale: Joan BAEZ - farewell Angelina 1965
la voix de Joan Baez vous saisit immédiatement et vous emporte pour un beau voyage. Morceau à l'origine écrit par Bob Dylan, le titre Farewell Angelina qui donnera donc son nom à l'album trouve beaucoup plus de puissance et de profondeur que dans la version de Dylan et c'est aussi grâce à sa voix et ses reprises que Dylan s'imposera dans la scène musicale de l'époque.

Farewell, Angelina The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles And the trumpets play slow
But farewell, Angelina The sky is on fire
And I must go

There's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Everything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Means farewell, Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leave
The jack and queen
Have forsaked the courtyard
52 gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is falling
I'll see you in a while
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors, they clap
And they cheer with each blast
But farewell, Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast
King Kong, little elves
On the rooftop they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone
The machine guns are roaring
And the puppets heave rocks
And fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is erupting
I must go where it's quiet
