    Whenever you cover a song I think “I know that song but I didn’t know it was so good!” You sing beautifully and I find myself listening to the lyrics as if I had never heard them before. Thanks so much for recording and posting.

      Completely agree...or also, "I knew this song was good, but it just has been made sublime..."

    All of your Dylan covers are excellent! I never thought much of this Dylan song, I'll admit. But with Dylan's lyrics, your voice and accompaniment, this might be the most perfect song ever recorded!

    Farewell Angelina - He is leaving his lover
    The bells of the crown - The reason for war
    Are being stolen by bandits - Someone is in the wrong
    I must follow the sound - The sound is of a funeral march
    The triangle tingles - The sound is of a funeral march
    And the trumpet play slow -The sound is of a funeral march
    Farewell Angelina - The sound is of a funeral march
    The sky is on fire - The war is starting
    And I must go The war is starting
    There's no need for anger -Let's enjoy our final time together
    There's no need for blame - The decision wasn't up to me
    There's nothing to prove - We know we love eachother
    Everything's still the same - We will always love eachother
    Just a table standing empty - Our future meteaphorical table is empty because I will die
    By the edge of the sea - He will be taking a ship to go over to fight the war and not be coming back
    Farewell Angelina - bye forever
    The sky is trembling - He is nervous to go to war
    And I must leave - But this is his duty
    The jacks and queens -metaphor for politicians
    Have forsaken the courtyard - the are making the decisions
    Fifty-two gypsies - cards are a metaphor for gambling
    Now file past the guards - cards are a metaphor for gambling
    In the space where the deuce - they always gambled with lives
    And the ace once ran wild - they used to play this kind of poker
    Farewell Angelina - Bye forever
    The sky is folding - The sky folding could refer to god folding his hand on society. It is essentially some super natural power is being shock
    I'll see you in a while - In a while would refer to when she dies which is in reference to the supernatural above.
    See the cross-eyed pirates sitting - People at home who are enjoying the war have a negative connation
    Perched in the sun - Basically to them the war is bliss
    Shooting tin cans - Barbaric activities fun at home
    With a sawed-off shotgun - Sawed off showing they are actually low class
    And the neighbors they clap - Everyone loves the idea of war
    And they cheer with each blast - People at home love war
    Farewell Angelina - He has to go
    The sky's changing color - A new somber mood
    And I must leave fast - He just left
    King Kong, little elves - metaphor for battle. King Kong fights people
    On the rooftops they dance - King kong climbs roof, dancing is a metaphor for fighting
    Valentino-type tangos - Tango another danving metaphor for fighting
    While the make-up man's hands -hand to hand combat
    Shut the eyes of the dead - One of Dylan's best lyrics ever. He even wants to shut the eyes of the dead
    Not to embarrass anyone - because he feels the way they died is so emberrassing and such a waste
    Farewell Angelina - He is surely going to die but not yet
    The sky is embarrassed - God and everyone is emberrassed
    And I must be gone - After all this he knows he won't survive.
    Let's add in the verse from the original
    The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear -camouflage is a metaphor for someone in army gear. A parrot repeats what is told of them. Despite being parrots they are scared
    When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears - The parrot is the guy singing the song. Someone appears out of nowhere
    What cannot be imitated perfect must die - His training wasn't perfect and he will die here
    Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over and I must go where it is dry - Could be a reference to blood and getting out of the battle
    The machine guns are roaring - battle continues
    The puppets heave rocks - puppets are the soldiers who follow orders they hurl grenades and bombs
    The fiends nail time bombs - Everyones life has a time limit on it
    To the hands of the clocks - Clock is in reference to when you die but could also be a tombstone which is dated
    Call me any name you like - His lover can say anything to him now
    I will never deny it - He can't defend himself because he is dead
    Farewell Angelina - Bye for now
    The sky is erupting - War is terrible
    I must go where it's quiet - Rest in Peace

      I thought it was about some birds bloke getting deported for "being a wetback".. As for the "sound", it was of clinking yankee dollars. Could be wrong, like. ( Familiar to me, as i migrated for work in the 80's, 200 miles south, 4 hours on a motorway. No hardship. )
