《F.D.R. In Trinidad》歌词

[00:00:00] F.D.R. In Trinidad - Ry Cooder (莱·库德)

[00:00:06] When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird

[00:00:10] Shouts of welcome were heard

[00:00:12] Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird

[00:00:16] Shouts of welcome were heard

[00:00:19] His visit to their island is bound to be

[00:00:22] An epoch in local history

[00:00:25] Definitely marking the new era

[00:00:28] Keeping Trinidad in America

[00:00:38] For this great man jubilation

[00:00:42] Was evinced by the entire population

[00:00:45] Friendship for the U S A was shown

[00:00:48] From his house to stars and the stripes were flown

[00:00:51] For the state to open the gate

[00:00:54] To the president of these United States

[00:00:57] In fact everybody was glad

[00:01:00] To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

[00:01:41] We are privileged to see the democratic

[00:01:44] President of the great republic

[00:01:47] With his charming and genial personality

[00:01:50] And his wonderful urbanity

[00:01:54] We were struck by his modest style

[00:01:56] And we were intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile

[00:02:00] No wonder why everybody was glad

[00:02:02] To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad

[00:02:12] Now we understand that the president has just been

[00:02:16] On a visit to Brazil and the Argentine

[00:02:19] Mr Cordell Hull in attendance

[00:02:22] They took part in a peace conference

[00:02:25] To stop war and atrocity

[00:02:27] And make the world safe for democracy

[00:02:30] The greatest event in the century

[00:02:34] In the interest of suffering humanity
