　　这个是来自Joan Baez的《Diamonds and Rust》，悠扬的伴奏伴随富有磁性的吟唱仿佛能把人带回很久很久以前。有趣的是这首歌每过十年左右，里面的一句歌词就会变一次。原版是“Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks”，十年后的版本是“Twenty years ago I bought you some cufflinks”，以此类推。不论经过多少年，Joan Baez还是能把这份感情演绎的历久弥新。

　　时间可以改变的东西很多，但也有时间永远无法改变的东西，歌词里那份穿越时空的感情就似乎永远不会褪色。钻石象征坚定和闪光的过往，铁锈代表着质变和时间的印痕。或许不是每份心情都能伴随时间而增长，时间磨蚀了很多过去，但总有感动会超越时空，常伴左右。是钻石还是铁锈，每个人对尘封的过去都有不同的理解，听听看，你在这首歌里感受到了什么？

Joan Baez – Diamonds and Rust

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
