《Island in the Sun(1957)》歌词

[00:00:01] This is my island in the sun

[00:00:06] Where my people have toiled since time begun

[00:00:12] I may sail on many a sea

[00:00:17] Her shores will always be home to me

[00:00:24] Oh island in the sun

[00:00:30] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:00:34] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:00:39] Of your forest waters your shining sand

[00:00:50] As morning breaks the heaven on high

[00:00:54] I lift my heavy load to the sky

[00:01:00] Sun comes down with a burning glow

[00:01:04] Mingles my sweat with the earth below

[00:01:10] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:15] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:17] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:24] Of your forest waters your shining sand

[00:01:34] I see woman on bended knee

[00:01:39] Cutting cane for her family

[00:01:44] I see man at the waterside

[00:01:48] Casting nets at the surging tide

[00:01:54] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:59] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:03] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:07] Of your forest waters your shining sand

[00:02:19] I pray the day will never come

[00:02:23] When I can't awake to the sound of drum

[00:02:28] Never let me miss carnival

[00:02:32] With calypso songs philosophical

[00:02:38] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:42] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:47] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:52] Of your forest waters your shining sand

[00:02:56] Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
