致：Joni Mitchell。在1968年12月，nash和michell搬进洛杉矶月桂谷区的一个温馨的小房子。虽然这里没有嬉皮士名人，但月桂谷却是嬉皮士们远离旧金山社会的一个共同的家园，不仅仅是CSN&Y，还包括Jim Morrison, the Eagles, Frank Zappa都在此地。
I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine *dudes* and
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la etc
I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today
It Ain t Me, Babe--Bob Dylan
6. “it ain’t me, babe”
6。“这不是我，宝贝”

作者：bob dylan
written for: joan baez, though it clearly wasn’t the nicest gift dylan could have given her. the two met in 1961, when baez was an up-and-coming folk singerand dylan was a nobody from minnesota. desperate to make his break in the music biz, dylan worked like crazy to get baez’s attention. he eventually ended up going on tour with her, which is how he first became famous, and also how the two began dating. for a while, they seemed like the golden couple, but things soon went downhill.
致：joan baez，虽然这并不是dylan给她的最好的礼物。他们在1961年相识，那是baez是一个事业如日中天的民歌手，而dylan只是一个从明尼苏达州来的无名小卒。dylan不顾一切地以音乐谋生，并且像疯子一样工作来取得baez地注意。终于，他得到了和baez一起出游的机会，这使他第一次出名，也使他们两个开始 约会。无需太多时间，他们就像金童玉女一样，但事情很快就改变了
during a european concert tour together in early 1965, they had a huge fight and parted ways. that may, dylan was holed up in a hotel after being hospitalized with a virus, and baez, hoping to remain friends, decided to bring him flowers. sadly, that’s how she found out that her ex was already dating someone else. that someone else was sara lownds, whom dylan married a mere six months later.
在他们一起出行的1965年欧洲演唱会期间，他们之间爆发了激烈的战争并同时分道扬镳。那个五月，dylan因感染病毒而在酒店就医,依旧期望他们还是朋友的baez决定带着花去看他。令人难过的是，她发现她的前男友已经开始和别人约会，这个别人就是 sara lownds，也就是dylan 在短短的6个月后于其结婚的女人。
it ain t me, babe lyrics
go way from my window,
leave at your own chosen speed.
im not the one you want, babe,
im not the one you need.
you say youre lookin for someone
never weak but always strong,
to protect you an defend you
whether you are right or wrong,
someone to open each and every door,
but it aint me, babe,
no, no, no, it aint me, babe,
it aint me youre lookin for, babe.
go lightly from the ledge, babe,
go lightly on the ground.
im not the one you want, babe,
i will only let you down.
you say youre lookin for someone
who will promise never to part,
someone to close his eyes for you,
someone to close his heart,
someone who will die for you an more,
but it aint me, babe,
no, no, no, it aint me, babe,
it aint me youre lookin for, babe.
go melt back into the night, babe,
everything inside is made of stone.
theres nothing in here moving
an anyway im not alone.
you say youre looking for someone
wholl pick you up each time you fall,
to gather flowers constantly
an to come each time you call,
a lover for your life an nothing more,
but it aint me, babe,
no, no, no, it aint me, babe,
it aint me youre lookin for, babe. |
