Harry Belafonte - Island in the sun songtekst
Je score:
This is my island in the sun where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many a sea her shores will always be home to me Oh island in the sun willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise of your forrest, waters, your shining sand As morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow mingles my sweat with the earth below Oh island in the sun willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise of your forrest, waters, your shining sand I see woman on bended knee cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside casting nets at the surging tide Oh island in the sun willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise of your forrest, waters, your shining sand I hope the day will never come when I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival with calypso songs philosophical Oh island in the sun willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise of your forrest, waters, your shining sand Oehoe, oehoe oehoe hoehoe, oehoe
