《Manzanar》歌词

[00:00:00] Manzanar - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Laurie Lewis

[00:00:33] He said my name is nakashima

[00:00:39] And I'm a proud american

[00:00:45] I came here in '27

[00:00:51] From my homeland of japan

[00:00:56] And we picked your grapes and oranges

[00:01:02] Made some money bought a store

[00:01:08] Until 1942

[00:01:14] Pearl harbor and the war

[00:01:20] Came those relocation orders

[00:01:25] They took our house the store the car

[00:01:31] Then they drove us to the desert

[00:01:37] To a place called manzanar

[00:01:42] The spanish word for apple orchard

[00:01:49] Though we saw no apple trees

[00:01:54] Just the rows of prison barracks

[00:02:01] And barbed wired boundaries

[00:02:06] And we dream of apple blossoms

[00:02:12] Waving free beneath the stars

[00:02:17] Till we wake up in the desert

[00:02:23] The prisoners of manzanar

[00:02:29] Manzanar

[00:02:52] Fifty years they've all but vanished

[00:02:58] And now I am an old man

[00:03:04] But I don't regret the day

[00:03:10] That I came here from japan

[00:03:15] But on moonlit winter nights

[00:03:21] I often wish upon a star

[00:03:27] That I'd forget the shame and sorrow

[00:03:33] That I felt at manzanar

[00:03:39] And we dream of apple blossoms

[00:03:44] Waving free beneath the stars

[00:03:50] Till we wake up in the desert

[00:03:56] The prisoners of manzanar

[00:04:01] Manzanar

[00:04:27] Manzanar

[00:04:30] Manzanar
