เพลง Island In The Sun

Island In The Sun - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

Written by：H. Belafonte/Burgess

This is my island in the sun

Where my people have

Toiled since time begun

Though I may sail on many a sea

Her shores will always be home to me

Oh island in the sun

Built to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest 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 earthly low

Oh island in the sun

Will to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

There's woman on bended knee

Cutting cane for her family

A man stand at the water side

Casting nets at the surfing tide

Oh island in the sun

Will to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand
