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
南太平洋的海水氾著深藍，而我即將要趕向那波浪的更深更藍處。
親愛的姑娘，我回望那夕陽中溫柔起伏的群山，淚水流下了我的雙頰。
因為我知道再沒有機會回到這個不屬於我的小島。
我只是個匆匆的過客，你亦有自己的生活。
也許是天定此劫，讓我的小船停靠在牙買加，讓我在這個陌生的異地遇見了你。
人生就是不斷的相遇，注定相見就不必迴避。
請記住所有屬於我們兩的歡樂，忘卻一切的不愉快吧！
人生本來短暫，何必再讓昨日的苦惱煩擾未來？
我們能微笑著相見，應該也能夠微笑著說再見，微笑著永不回頭。
我只是一株沒有根的行走的草，替自己在荒原招魂。
請原諒我這樣的悄然離去，因為一個沒有未來的遊子，如何能承諾另一個人的未來？
在金斯頓港的岸邊，請用海水寄給我一個微笑吧，讓我相信我也有能力給別人帶來快樂。
然後我會回望，回望那夕陽中溫柔起伏的群山，回望所有已化塵土的歲月，
放縱的讓淚水洗滌自己的雙眼，然後，微笑，然後轉身離去。
Farewell Jamaica！ Farewell my love！
