Joan Baez ~ Farewell Angelina (1965)

This song sung by "Joan Baez" was written by "Bob Dylan" and the title of this song was also the name of Joan's album which was released in 1965 and peaked at number 10 in the album charts.In my opinion "Joan Baez" is probably the greatest female folk singer of all time,and she is also a very good guitar player.she has recorded so many great songs over the years and this is just one of many of her songs that i really like.

Dylan was a poet genius... to write lines like this and set to music as well like that... Maybe only Springstein and a couple of others over the years could do that. But the best versions of all his songs were largely sung by other folks. Between the Byrds, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul, and Mary you could hear both the poetic nature of his verse and the beauty of his melody, Which just didn't quite come through when he sang the songs himself. It was always the Joan Baez renditions that gave me that spine tingling sense of uncontainable beauty. It was either this song or Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands which were my two favorites. These songs still touch me, now in my sixties, in a way that nothing else has since.

[@keithphilo6255]

Joan certainly makes Bobs majestic poetry clearer and much more beautiful

[@vividhkothari1]

Yes, Joan certainly sings his songs beautifully, but I would never agree with that Bob couldn't bring touch like Joan. Both of their sounds are different. Bob has a rough, country-music voice, she has a more like a melodious type. You can enjoy both without saying which one is better.

[@larryvermeer6170]

good morning my friend this song is almost the same as bruce woodley from the seekers too

[@lanalorenzen]

I have three CDs of Joan Baez. I've been re-listening to them recently. Many of her songs are renditions of the works of Bob Dylan. The thought occurred to me that the lyrics of Dylan ring especially true today. We still live in a world at war with itself, pollution, an ever-lengthening and dangerous drought; crime and impoverishment; private prisons making profits from the suffering of others; unattainable health care; and the litany goes on.

[@67bg70]

[@jonolsen418]

I saw her in 1960 when she was 20, at Bates College. She had us totally captivated. You could hear a pin drop each time she finished a song. Another time in Honolulu a few years later.

[@HermanLabuschagne]

Who thinks of lyric lines such as "farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave..."? And who paints imagery like, "see the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun, shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shogun."? Then he adds, "And the neighbours they clap and they cheer with each blast. But farewell Angelina the sky's changing colour and I must leave fast..." I cannot begin to choose my favourite line. There are too many. Bob was the master and Joan was a fantasy.

[@ardalla535]

One of Dylan's best for sure. No one can produce and assemble such an array of images and make it work as well as Bob. And he has done it over and over again, decade after decade. What's even more amazing is I get the impression that he wrote this in about 30 mins and it was not that big a deal for him at the time.

[@HermanLabuschagne]

Yes, Bob Dylan struck me as an accidental poet - His lines were unglazed by false pretense. So often the brightest an artist will ever shine is during the dark hours when he does not care about being seen.

This song is one of my favorites, although to be honest there are literally dozens of her songs that I count as my favorites. Such a voice, such a face, such a life.

I do not agree with those who say that there is "no point in searching the meaning of the words”. Dylan is a great poet, and while obscure, allusive, his verses for this song certainly have meaning. At least, they have meaning for me! Here is my interpretation: •- There has been a seizure of power, a 'coup d’état’ (either a successful rebellion by opponents, or a military action by a government against a party of opponents) - ["The bells of the crown | Are being stolen by bandits"]. •- The man who talks - or writes - to Angelina has been in the Iosing faction; He hears the music of the bands parading in the city, celebrating their success - ["The triangle tingles | and the trumpets play slow"]. •- He is talking - or writing - by a table close to the sea, announcing his imminent flight - ["Farewell Angelina | The sky is on fire | And I must go"]. •- He tries to tell Angelina that she will not be in danger - ["Ev'rything's still the same | Just a table standing empty"]. •- He has seen a group of partisans of his faction being rounded up, probably for execution or concentration camp - ["Fifty two gypsies | Now file past the guards"]. •- The winning faction celebrates by firing their arms - ["See the cross-eyed pirates | Sitting perched in the sun | Shooting tin cans"] ; •- while obsequious neighbors pretend to rejoice - ["And the neighbors they clap | And they cheer with each blast"]. •- The winning Warlord and his minions celebrate on the top of a building - ["King Kong, little elves | On the rooftops they dance"]. •- Already, the city police are removing the dead from the fight, and morticians are busy making up their bodies - ["While the makeup man's hands | Shut the eyes of the dead | Not to embarrass anyone"]. •- There is a chase for stray groups of opponents; some are gunned down and some of those who have been made prisoner are stoned by mobs of the winning side - ["The machine guns are roaring | And the puppets heave rocks"]. •- Some of the winners are dispatched to destroy the monuments of the deposed regime - ["And fiends nail time bombs | To the hands of the clocks"]. •- The man who talks - or writes - is conscious that Angelina, discovering what he has done during his partisan involvement. may acquire a bad opinion of him; but he remains proud of what he has done for his party - ["Call me any name you Iike | I will never deny it"]. •- He takes leave from Angelina (with whom, most probably, he is in love); he has no choice but flee to safety without delay - ["But farewell Angelina | The sky is erupting | I must go where it's quiet"]. Dylan could have explained the lyrics of this song (since 1965 he has had ample time) but he chose not to. We must respect his choice, which frees us to interpret those lyrics as we see fit. __ .

America may be different, but the hearts for God's grace remains the same, as does God in heaven. Drafted for Nam, but I would not, could not do that - no faith - no life. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from God.

​@@raindustbowlI don't believe in the god of Abraham. Yet those who followed "Blessed are the peacemakers", such as the Quakers like Joan, and the Mennonites who oppose war, have my greatest respect.

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 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 Ev’rything’s still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave The jacks and the queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding 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 Farewell Angelina The sky’s changing color And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves On the rooftops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the makeup man’s hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone The machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks The fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it Farewell Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it’s quiet

No point in searching the meaning of the words. It's probably acid type poetry. It doesn't matter. She is the, or one of the most loved singers in my life. The other is Billy Holiday :)

[@stefleparolier1068]

Thanks

[@christianfournier6862]

@thuonghoai & @alicie649 Thank you for this very accurate transcription of the lyrics; I have listened carefully and found only three minor errors : - The sky is falling [verse 26] - And the puppets heave rocks [ver.47] - And fiends nail time bombs [v.48] I do not agree with Alicia’s statement that there is “no point in searching the meaning of the words”. Dylan is a great poet, and while obscure, allusive, his verses for this song certainly have meaning. At least, they have meaning for me! Here is my interpretation of the lyrics : • There has been a seizure of power, a ‘coup d’état’ (either a successful rebellion by opponents, or a military action by a government against a party of opponents) - [“The bells of the crown | Are being stolen by bandits”]. • The man who talks - or writes - to Angelina has been on the losing faction; He hears the music of the bands parading in the city, celebrating their success - [“The triangle tingles | And the trumpets play slow”]. • He is talking - or writing - by a table close to the sea, announcing his imminent flight - [“Farewell Angelina | The sky is on fire | And I must go”]. • He tries to tell Angelina that she will not be in danger - [“Ev'rything's still the same | Just a table standing empty”]. • He has seen a group of partisans of his faction being rounded up, probably for execution or concentration camp - [“Fifty two gypsies | Now file past the guards”]. • The winning faction celebrates by firing their arms - [“See the cross-eyed pirates | Sitting perched in the sun | Shooting tin cans”] ; • while obsequious neighbors pretend to rejoice - [“And the neighbors they clap | And they cheer with each blast”]. • The winning Warlord and his minions celebrate on the top of a building - [“King Kong, little elves | On the rooftops they dance”]. • Already, the city police are removing the dead from the fight, and morticians are busy making up their bodies - [“While the makeup man's hands | Shut the eyes of the dead | Not to embarrass anyone”]. • There is a chase for stray groups of opponents; some are gunned down and some of those who have been made prisoner are stoned by mobs of the winning side - [“The machine guns are roaring | And the puppets heave rocks”]. • Some of the winners are dispatched to destroy the monuments of the deposed regime - [“And fiends nail time bombs | To the hands of the clocks”]. • The man who talks - or writes - is conscious that Angelina, discovering what he has done during his partisan involvement, may acquire a bad opinion of him; but he remains proud of what he has done for his party - [“Call me any name you like | I will never deny it”]. • He takes leave from Angelina (with whom, most probably, he is in love); he has no choice but flee to safety without delay - [“But farewell Angelina | The sky is erupting | I must go where it's quiet”]. ___.

@thuonghoai This comment is not a critic to your most useful 2019 transcription of “Angelina”’s lyrics; it is only intended to be of help if - at some later date - you intend to modify this transcription, as only you can do! I have listened anew about ten times the lyrics of this Dylan song in its beautiful 1965 rendition by Joan Baez. A careful audition while simultaneously reading your transcription has made me uncover only one error of meaning (verse 26), and seven trifling errors (which do not affect the meaning, but can be of import to those who want to sing the exact words used by Joan Baez in the song). The suggested corrections are as follows: - Means Farewell Angelina [verse 16] - The jack[s] and the queen[s] [ver.19] -Have forsake[d] the courtyard [ver.20] - The sky is folding falling [verse 26] - On the rooftop[s] they dance [ver.38] - And the puppets heave rocks [ver.47] - The And fiends nail time bombs [v.48] - But farewell Angelina [verse 52] Thanks again for your very helpful transcription. ___ .

The following lyrics are not identical to those of Dylan's. 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

When I was at University I was brought up on a diet of Bob Dylan; Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez! Joan had the most perfect voice for this genre of music and I used to sit for hours listening to her. I only wish that in some of her later concerts she would sing some of these older songs - they were so good and evocative of the time! Being based in the UK we don't always see the concerts she has done but in the ones that we do see I would really love to see her performing these older songs as they are just as relevant today! We are not facing nuclear disaster or the Vietnam War but we are facing Covid-19, a pandemic that threatens to wipe out more people than died in the Vietnam War and the Korean War put together!!! These songs, whether written by Joan or Bob Dylan or Buffy St Marie still have a resonance today but for different reasons! Let's not forget them!!

@@LindenStead1844MbdTuB Richard was the fore-runner of all, trained by Sven Scholander in Sweden at his own expense, the only folk-singer Who a) always appeared in a tux and so b) was the only one invited to Carnegie Hall by Sol Hurok. You will find many of his original settings and traditional ones on KZbin. A good example is « So We’ll Go No More a-Roving » with lyrics by Lord Byron and original music by RD-B. A very few rare Sven Scholander clips (in Swedish with no subtitles) are even on KZbin. A very good biography of R.D-B. was published, titled « The Last Minstrel » (actually referring towards Sven Scholander). I first heard R.D-B.’s marvelous voice in a student made film at SUNY Stony Brook.

Not me just getting emotional 20 minutes after midnight because of the realization of how much joan baez meant and means to me. This woman was my first obbession and made me educate myself about the civil rights movement, vietnam and the 60s in general. Without her I wouldn't have tried to understand english texts. Without her my english would probably be as bad as it was in 5th grade. And as I just recently realized: she was my gay awakening. She is meaning so much to me. I listend to other artist by this time now that I am in my teens but she will always be amongst the greatest.
