《Manzanar》歌词

[00:00:00] Manzanar - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Katy Moffatt

[00:00:13] He said my name is Nakashima

[00:00:19] And I'm a proud American

[00:00:25] I came here in '27

[00:00:30] From my homeland of Japan

[00:00:36] And we picked your grapes and oranges

[00:00:42] Made some money bought a store

[00:00:48] Until 1942

[00:00:54] Pearl Harbor and the war

[00:00:59] Came those relocation orders

[00:01:05] They took our house the store the car

[00:01:11] Then they drove us to the desert

[00:01:17] To a place called Manzanar

[00:01:23] The Spanish word for apple orchard

[00:01:29] Though we saw no apple trees

[00:01:35] Just the rows of prison barracks

[00:01:41] And barbed wired boundaries

[00:01:47] And we dream of apple blossoms

[00:01:53] Waving free beneath the stars

[00:01:59] Till we wake up in the desert

[00:02:05] The prisoners of Manzanar

[00:02:11] Manzanar

[00:02:43] Fifty years they've all but vanished

[00:02:49] And now I am an old man

[00:02:55] But I don't regret the day

[00:03:01] That I came here from Japan

[00:03:07] But on moonlit winter nights

[00:03:13] I often wish upon a star

[00:03:19] That I'd forget the shame and sorrow

[00:03:25] That I felt at Manzanar

[00:03:31] And we dream of apple blossoms

[00:03:37] Waving free beneath the stars

[00:03:43] Till we wake up in the desert

[00:03:49] The prisoners of Manzanar

[00:03:55] And we dream of apple blossoms

[00:04:01] Waving free beneath the stars

[00:04:06] Till we wake up in the desert

[00:04:12] The prisoners of Manzanar

[00:04:18] Manzanar
