Jamaica Farewell
Jamaica Farewell - Harry Belafonte
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when i reached jamaica i made her stop
Chorus:Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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 sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though i have been from maine to mexico
Chorus:Still i'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year
Chorus:Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
But when i reached jamaica i made her stop
Chorus:Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
Chorus:Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
南太平洋的海水泛着深蓝，而我即将要赶向那波浪的更深更蓝处。
亲爱的姑娘，我回望那夕阳中温柔起伏的群山，泪水流下了我的双颊。
因为我知道再没有机会回到这个不属于我的小岛。
我只是个匆匆的过客，你亦有自己的生活。
也许是天定此劫，让我的小船停靠在牙买加，让我在这个陌生的异地遇见了你。
人生就是不断的相遇，注定相见就不必回避。
请记住所有属于我们两的欢乐，忘却一切的不愉快吧！
人生本来短暂，何必再让昨日的苦恼烦扰未来？
我们能微笑着相见，应该也能够微笑着说再见，微笑着永不回头。
我只是一株没有根的行走的草，替自己在荒原招魂。
请原谅我这样的悄然离去，因为一个没有未来的游子，如何能承诺另一个人的未来？
在金斯顿港的岸边，请用海水寄给我一个微笑吧，让我相信我也有能力给别人带来快乐。
然后我会回望，回望那夕阳中温柔起伏的群山，回望所有已化尘土的岁月，
放纵的让泪水洗涤自己的双眼，然后，微笑，然后转身离去。
Farewell Jamaica！Farewell my love！
