《Island in the Sun》歌词

[00:00:00] Island In The Sun - Jigs

[00:00:09] This is my island in the sun

[00:00:12] Where my people have toiled since time begun

[00:00:17] I may sail on many a sea

[00:00:21] Her shores will always be home to me

[00:00:26] 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

[00:00:37] Of your forest waters

[00:00:39] Your shining sand

[00:00:47] As morning breaks

[00:00:48] The heaven on high

[00:00:50] I lift my heavy load to the sky

[00:00:55] Sun comes down with a burning glow

[00:00:59] Mingles my sweat with the earthly low

[00:01:04] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:08] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:12] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:15] Of your forest waters

[00:01:17] Your shining sand

[00:01:24] I see woman on bended knee

[00:01:28] Cutting cane for her family

[00:01:33] I see man at the water-side

[00:01:37] Casting nets at the surfing tide

[00:01:41] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:46] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:49] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:53] Of your forest waters

[00:01:55] Your shining sand

[00:02:02] I hope the day will never come

[00:02:06] That I can't awake to the sound of drum

[00:02:11] Never let me miss carnaval

[00:02:14] With calypso songs

[00:02:16] Philosophical

[00:02:19] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:23] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:27] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:30] Of your forest waters

[00:02:33] Your shining sand

[00:02:36] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:40] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:43] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:47] Of your forest waters

[00:02:49] Your shining sand
