Harry Belafonte - Jamaica farewell German translation lyrics
Your rating:
Jamaica Lebewohl
Da unten, wo die Nächte voll Lebenslust sind, Und des Tags die Sonne auf die Berggipfel scheint, Da machte ich einen Trip auf 'nem Segelschiff, Und als ich Jamaica erreichte, ging ich an Land. Doch es macht mich traurig, zu sagen, ich bin unterwegs, Ich werde nicht zurück sein für lange Zeit. Mein Herz ist betrübt, mein Kopf durcheinander, Ein Mädchen musst' ich verlassen in Kingston Town. Unten auf dem Markt, da kannst du sie hören, Frauen rufen, sie tragen auf ihren Köpfen Ackey-Reis und gesalzenen Fisch, ganz wunderbar. Und der Rum ist gut zu jeder Jahreszeit. Der Klang von Lachen überall, Und tanzende Mädchen schunkeln hin und her. Ich muss bekennen, mein Herz ist dort, Obwohl ich überall war zwischen Maine und Mexico.
Jamaica farewell
Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swing to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Naar het Nederlands vertalen
