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
