Well I'll be damned
我是被惩罚着
Here comes your ghost again
你的影子再一次盘旋在我脑海
But that's not unusual
但是这很寻常
It's just that the moon is full
每当满月的时候
And you happened to call
这时你突然打来电话
And here I sit
我就坐在这儿
Hand on the telephone
手握着电话
Hearing a voice I'd known
听着我熟悉的声音
A couple of light years ago
仿佛时间穿越到了好几年前
Heading straight for a fall
记忆深深地坠了下去
As I remember your eyes
我记得你的眼睛
Were bluer than robin's eggs
比知更鸟的卵还要澄澈
My poetry was lousy you said
你说我的诗歌令人心烦
Where are you calling from?
”你是从哪打来的？“
A booth in the midwest
”在中西部的一个公用电话亭“
Ten years ago
十年前
I bought you some cuff-links
我给你买了一对袖扣
You brought me something
你带给我一些东西
We both know what memories can bring
我们都明白回忆会带来什么
They bring diamonds and rust
回忆会带来钻石和铁锈
Well you burst on the scene
那时你出现在现场
Already a legend
甚至成为了一个传说
The unwashed phenomenon
难以忘记的场景
The original vagabond
最初的流浪者
You strayed into my arms
你流浪到我的怀抱里
And there you stayed
你隐藏在这里
Temporarily lost at sea
短暂地意识消沉
The Madonna was yours for free
Madonna将会佑你自由
Yes the girl on the half-shell
是的 就是那个从半开的贝壳里走出来的女子
Could keep you unharmed
会保护你免受伤害
Now I see you standing
现在我又看见你站在那儿
With brown leaves falling around
枯黄的树叶随风飘舞
And snow in your hair
雪花飘落在你的发上
Now you're smiling out the window
现在你在窗外浅浅地笑着
Of that crummy hotel
在一个凋敝的小旅馆
Over Washington Square
在华盛顿广场的对面
Our breath.es out white clouds
我们的呼吸穿透白色的云雾
Mingles and hangs in the air
交织混合在空气中
Speaking strictly for me
你很严肃地对我说
We both could have died then and there
我们可能会死在哪儿
Now you're telling me
现在你又告诉我
You're not nostalgic
你不是一个怀旧的人
Then give me another word for it
然后你又告诉我
You who are so good with words
你这个人总是善于玩弄文字
And at keeping things vague
然后混淆一切
Because I need some of that vagueness now
也许因为我现在需要一些模糊不清
It's all.e back too clearly
但现在回想起来却是无比确信
Yes I loved you dearly
是的 我深深地爱着你
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
如果你能给与我钻石与铁锈
I've already paid
我已经满足
这首《Diamonds And Rust》是JOAN的代表作，记录了JOAN和DYLAN之间的爱情。而这首歌最动人之处在于里面的歌词“ten years ago i bought you some cufflincks"。随着时间的推移，从JOAN首次唱时的10年前，到后来JOAN每隔十年唱出来，唱这首歌时将里面的时间随着时光的流逝变成了20年、30年到现在是40年前。歌手认为思念不会因为恋情的告终而结束，反而会随着时光的逝去延伸，所以她用这首歌纪念她和爱人之间的会随着时间成长的爱恋！
