In the late '60s and early '70s, Baez came into her songwriting own, penning many songs (most notably "Diamonds & Rust," a nostalgic piece about her ill-fated romance with Bob Dylan, and "Sweet Sir Galahad," a song about sister Mimi Fariña's ( of Richard & Mimi Fariña fame) second marriage, and continued to meld her songcraft with topical issues. She was outspoken in her disapproval of the Vietnam war and later the CIA-backed coups in many Latin American countries.
She was also instrumental in the Civil Rights movement, marching with Dr. Martin Luther King on many occassions and being jailed for her beliefs. In 1963, her performance of "We Shall Overcome" at the Lincoln Memorial just prior to Dr. King's famous "I Have A Dream..." speech helped confirm the song as the Civil Rights anthem.
In December 1972, she traveled to Hanoi, North Vietnam, and was caught in that country's "Christmas Campaign," in which the U.S. bombed the city more times than any other during the entire war. While pregnant with her only son, Gabriel, she performed a handful of songs in the middle of the night on day one of the 1969 Woodstock festival. She is considered the "Queen of Folk" for being at the forefront of the 1960s folk revival and inspiring generations of female folksingers that followed. Over fifty years after she first began singing publicly in 1958, Joan Baez continues to tour, demonstrate in favor of human rights and nonviolence, and release albums for a world of devoted fans.

Llego con Tres Heridas
Joan Baez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La del amor,
La de la muerte,
La de la vida.
Con tres heridas viene:
La de la vida,
La del amor,
La de la muerte
La de la vida,
La de la muerte,
La del amor.
Llegó con tres heridas:
La del amor,
La de la muerte,
La de la vida.
Con tres heridas viene:
La de la vida,
La del amor,
La de la muerte.
Con tres heridas yo:
La de la vida,
La de la muerte,
La del amor.
In Joan Baez's song Llego con Tres Heridas, the singer begins by announcing the arrival of someone with three wounds- the scars of love, death, and life. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the singer's connection with this person and their recognition of the struggles they have faced. The three wounds are presented in a cyclical manner, emphasizing the interconnectedness of life, love, and death. This may suggest that pain comes with every experience, but each wound serves as an opportunity for growth and understanding.
