FAREWELL ANGELINA Farewell Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the trumpet play slow Farewell Angelina The sky is on fire And I must go. There's no need for anger There's no need for blame There's nothing to prove Ev'rything's still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave. The jacks and queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I'll see you in a while. See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbors they clap And they cheer with each blast Farewell Angelina The sky's changing color And I must leave fast. King Kong, little elves On the rooftoops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the make-up man's hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone. The machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks The fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it Farewell Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it's quiet.

FAREWELL ANGELINA FAREWELL ANGELINA words and music Bob Dylan ( Versione alternativa ) Farewell Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles The trumpets play slow But farewell Angelina The night it is on fire An' i must go. There is no use in talkin' An' there's no need for blame There is nothin' to prove Everything still is the same A table stands empty By the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina The sky's changin' colors And i must leave. The jacks an' the queens Have forsaked the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce An' the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is foldin' I'll see you after a while. See the cross-eyed pirates sit Perched in the sun Shootin' tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun An' the corporals an' neighbors Clap an' cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina The sky it is tremblin' An' i must leave fast. King Kong little elves On the roof top they dance Valentino type tangos While the hero's clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky 's floodin' over An' i must be gone. The camouflaged parrot He flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about Suddenly appears What cannot be imitated perfect must die Farewell Angelina The sky 's floodin' over An' i must go where it is dry. Machine guns are roarin' Puppets heave rocks At misunderstood visions An' at the faces of clocks Call any name you like I will never deny it But farewell Angelina The sky is eruptin' An' i must go where it is quiet.
