Oh,my love my darling.
I've hungered for touch. A long lonely time. And time goes by so slowy. Ant time can do so much. Are you still mine. I need your love. I need your love. God speed your love to me. 내 사랑 그대, 당신의 손길이 너무도 그리워요 이 시간이 내겐 그저 외롭고 길게 느껴지지만 천천히 흘러가는 이 시간이 많은 걸 가르쳐 주네요 그대에게 묻고 싶어요, 여전히 나만의 사람이죠? 나 당신의 사랑이 정말 필요할 뿐이에요 날 사랑한다면... 날 사랑하는마음...부디 변치말아주십시오. Lonely rivers flow To the sea,to the sea To the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh. Wait for me,wait for me. I'll be coming home. Wait for me. 고독한 강물은 바다를 향해 흘러갑니다 두팔을 활짝펴고 반겨줄 그바다를향해서말이죠 내맘과같은고독한강물의탄식이들리나요? 기다려주오...기다려주오 곧 당신에게 돌아갈 테니 변치말고 나를 기다려주오.. Oh,my love my darling. I've hungered for your touch. A lone lonely time. And time goes by so slowy. And time can do so much. Are you still mine I need your love. I need you love. God speed your love to me. 내 사랑 그대, 당신의 손길이 너무도 그리워요 이 시간이 내겐 그저 외롭고 길게 느껴지지만 천천히 흐르는 이 시간이 많은 걸 가르쳐 주네요 하지만...당신... 그대에게 묻고 싶어요, 여전히 나만의 사람이죠? 나 당신의 사랑이 정말 필요해요, 이건 진심이에요 하나님이 그대 사랑을 내게 전해 주실 수만 있다면... |

Island In the Sun Artist: Harry Belafonte (peak Billboard position # 30 in 1957) Words and Music by Harry Belafonte and Lord Burgess Title song from the 1957 film starring James Mason, Joan Collins, Dorothy Dandridge, Michael Rennie, and Belafonte. 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 CHORUS Oh, island in the sun Willed 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 earth below CHORUS I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide CHORUS I pray the day will never come When I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical CHORUS |

When shadows fall and stars appear
A pain I feel I cannot bear If I could relive that faithful day I would not turn my love away I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. When I think of her tender lips Gentle touch of her finger-tips Reminisce on her eyes so fair Moonlight soft on her downy hair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. If some day I should see her smile Hold her hand and me heart beguile Feel her warmth in her earnest prayer Darling shield me from all despair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. Now I'm standing alone and sad Thinkin' upon the joys I've had Time makes fools of men they say Take me back to that distant day I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her |

To find out which one is smarter Some say man but I say no The woman got the man de day should know And not me but the people they say That de man are leading de women astray But I say, that the women of today Smartre than the man in every way That's right de woman is uh smarter That's right de woman is uh smarter That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right Ever since the world began Woman was always teaching man And I you listen to my bid attentively I goin' tell you how she smarter than me Samson was the strongest man long ago No one could a beat him, as we all know Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head You meet a girl at a pretty dance Thinking that you would stand a chance Take her home, thinking she's alone Open de door you find her husband home I was treating a girl independently She was making baby for me When de baby born and I went to see Eyes was blue it was not by me Garden of Eden was very nice Adam never work in Paradise Eve meet snake, Paradise gone She make Adam work from that day on Methuselah spent all his life in tears Lived without a woman for 900 years One day he decided to have some fun The poor man never lived to see 900 and one |

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men I thought, as now this day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rung so long The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth, I said For hate is strong And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor doth He sleep The wrong shall fail The right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men |

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas day. Hark, now hear the angels sing A new King born today And man will live forever more Because of Christmas day. While shepherds watched their flock by night And see a bright new shining star And hear a choir sing The music seem to come from afar. Now Joseph and his wife Mary Come to Bethlehem that night And find no place to borne she child Not a single room was in sight. Hark, now hear the angels sing A new King born today And man will live forever more Because of Christmas day. By and by they find a little nook In a stable all forlorn And in a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born. Hark, now hear the angels sing A new King born today And man will live forever more Because of Christmas day. |

I'm on my way won't be back for many a day. my heart is down my head is turning around. I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town.
Sounds of laughter every where and the dancing girl swinging two and fro. I must declare my head is there though I been from maine to Mexico. And 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've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town.

Have you ever seen a rainbow
Or a garden blooming bright Heard the shuffle of a thousand feet And drums from morning 'til night ? Come we go down, come we go down Come we go down to Kingston market Come we go down, come we go down Down to Kingston market Get your tamarind and sour sop, Mangoes and casaba, Bread fruit okra pigeon peas, Curry goat and guava Come we go down, come we go down Come we go down to Kingston market Come we go down, come we go down Down to Kingston market Do you know a brown skin maiden With sunshine in her eyes ? Heard the swallow and the humming bird Sing happy as she goes by ? Come we go down, come we go down Come we go down to Kingston market Come we go down, come we go down Down to Kingston market Have you seen the ghost of Morgan Or heard a tale you hadn't ought to ? Have you welcomed the coming dawn With a rum an' coconut water Come we go down, come we go down Come we go down to Kingston market Come we go down, come we go down Down to Kingston market |

When shadows fall and stars appear
A pain I feel I cannot bear If I could relive that faithful day I would not turn my love away I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. When I think of her tender lips Gentle touch of her finger-tips Reminisce on her eyes so fair Moonlight soft on her downy hair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. If some day I should see her smile Hold her hand and me heart beguile Feel her warmth in her earnest prayer Darling shield me from all despair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. Now I'm standing alone and sad Thinkin' upon the joys I've had Time makes fools of men they say Take me back to that distant day I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her |

The place, the place is Ireland This Irish legend had it And the last rose of summer fell and all the young men of Ireland Were together to stake a blow For Ireland's freedom and Ireland's liberty There' songs for those who stayed at home and songs for those who went away and all o'er Ireland were sad Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountain side The summer's gone and all the roses falling It's you it's you must go and I must bide But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny Boy I'll love you so But if you fall as all the flowers are dying And you are dead as dead you well maybe I'll come and fine the place where you are laying And kneel and say an Ave there for thee |

Oh, when the saints, go marching in,
Yes when the saints go marching in. Oh Lord I want to be in that ever lovin' number When the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints, go marching in, Yes when the saints go marching in. Oh Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. Oh yes, I had a dear old mother, And if you should see her before I do, Won't you tell her that you saw me coming, I was struttin' straight on through Oh, when the saints, go marching in, Yes when the saints go marching in. Oh Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. |

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 chorus Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand When 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 chorus Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waters side Casting nets at the surging tide chorus Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand I hope the day will never come That I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical chorus Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand |

In Jamaica, Calypso isle,
ev'rybody dancing with a happy smile. All but a young man along the pier, he had a song to sing that was sad to hear: I must sail away across the sea, leave the girl, who only loves me. Although I say "Farewell Jamaica" today, I know that I'll come back to her another day. Down the way where the nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountain top, 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. Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancing girls swaying to and fro. I must declare my heart is there although 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. |

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a young and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow, follow Try to remember when life was so tender And no one wept except the willow Try to remember when life was so tender And dreams were kept beside your pillow Try to remember when life was so tender When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow Deep in December, it's nice to remember Without a hurt, the heart is hollow Deep in December, it's nice to remember The fire of September, that made us mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember And follow...follow Background solo by Arthur Williams, Demetrius Harvey, Anthony Mills or ... |

The sea will wash against the rock
The rock stands strong, the rock is strong The sea will wash against the rock But before too long the rock is gone The wind will blow against the stone The stone stands strong, the stone is strong The wind will blow against the stone but before too long the stone is gone Patience gentlemen, we move closer every day Patience gentlemen, the stone will soon give way Chorus We are the wave, We are the flow We are the wind And soon the rock must go We are the wave, We are the flow We are the wind And soon the rock must go You cannot hold back the tide The tide must rise the tide must rise It's the law of earth and skies The tide will rise, the tide will rise It's as natural as day to night As day to night, day to night As natural as black and white Black and white, black and white Patience gentlemen, the flower can grow up through the stone Patience gentlemen, it's a truth that we have always known |
