Farewell Angelina
Joan Baez Lyrics

Farewell, Angelina, the bells of the crown
Goodbye, Angelina, the valuable treasures are being stolen by thieves, and I have to track the sound.

The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
The small instrument is ringing, and the windy horns play silently.

Farewell, Angelina, the sky is on fire and I must go
Goodbye, Angelina, the sky is burning, and I have to leave immediately.

There's no need for anger, there's no need for blame
No need to be upset or accuse anyone of causing anything wrong.

There's nothing to prove, everything's still the same
Nothing else to demonstrate or show; everything remains unchanged.

Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea
Only a deserted table next to the seashore.

Means farewell, Angelina, the sky is trembling and I must leave
Indicates goodbye, Angelina, the sky is quivering, and I need to go away quickly.

The jacks and queens have forsaked the courtyard
The royal figures, Jacks, and Queens, have abandoned the scene.

Fifty-two gypsies, now file past the guards
A group of Gypsies, 52 of them, marching while passing through the soldiers.

In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
In the area where the number 2 and the Ace use to have action.

Farewell, Angelina, the sky is changing color, I'll see you in a while
Goodbye, Angelina, the sky is changing its hue, and we'll meet again soon.

See the cross-eyed pirates sitting perched in the sun
Observe the pirates looking at the sunshine with crooked eyes.

Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
Firing a shotgun with a cut barrel at empty cans.

And the neighbors they clap and they cheer with each blast
The neighbors applaud and express joy with each shot.

But farewell, Angelina, the sky's changing color and I must leave fast
But goodbye, Angelina, I need to go quickly because the sky is changing its hue.

King Kong, little elves on the rooftops they dance
King Kong, along with little creature-like elves, dance on the rooftops.

Valentino-type tangos while the make-up man's hands
Similar to Valentino's dances, and the make-up artist is holding the dancer's hand.

Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
Close the eyes of the deceased not to cause discomfort to anyone.

But farewell, Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone
But goodbye, Angelina, the atmosphere is ashamed, and I have to leave.

The machine guns are roaring, the puppets heave rocks
The sound of heavy machine guns is loud, the puppets throw hefty stones.

The fiends nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks
The evil beings attach explosive devices to the clock's hands.

Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
You can call me any name you want, and I will never disapprove it.

But farewell, Angelina, the sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet
But goodbye, Angelina, the sky's exploding, and I need to go somewhere peaceful.
