這是Joan Baez的代表作之一，

我很喜歡歌裡富有真摯情感的意涵，

我覺得在某種程度上這首歌，

也能完美的詮釋妳我的感情，

這一刻是妳我之間思念的季節，

這首歌將為我聯繫思念的另一端，

I Love You Forever。



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


鑽石與鐵鏽　　　　　　　瓊拜雅


我的老天！

你的魅影又再度出現

但這並非不尋常

只因今晚滿月，你恰巧又打電話來

我坐在這兒，手持聽筒

聽著幾個光年以前就很熟悉的聲音

準備再次受到傷害





依稀記得你的雙眼

比知更鳥的蛋更藍

你說我寫得詩糟透了

"你從那裡打電話來？"

"在中西部的某個電話亭"

十年前我買過袖扣送你

你亦回贈了一些東西給我

我們都明白回憶能夠給我們什麼

它們給了我們鑽石與鐵鏽




當你鋒芒乍現的情景，已然成了傳奇

彷彿令人無法逼視的自然現象

原本是個流浪者，你漂泊入我的臂彎

而你的停留，如海上的短暫迷航

受到聖母的眷顧

是的，這個女孩像蚌殼一般

能保護你不被傷害




如今，我看到你佇立在黃葉紛飛中

髮上覆著白雪

你微笑著，在那可以遠眺華盛頓廣場的小旅館窗前

你我呼出的氣如雲霧般交錯，凝結在冷空氣中

對我來說

當時氣氛凝重，彷彿能致你我於死地




如今你對我說，你並不懷鄉念舊

那麼請你找另一個字來代替

你向來擅於咬文嚼字，使之曖昧難懂

因為現在我正需要那樣的曖昧

過去的一切都太清晰了

是的，我深愛著你

如果你又給我鑽石與鐵鏽

告訴你，我已付出過代價了
