《The Borning Day》歌词

[00:00:00] The Borning Day - Harry Belafonte

[00:00:10] Mary and the baby hungry

[00:00:15] Yes we know what hungry be

[00:00:20] So we bring them peas and rice

[00:00:25] And a little ginger tea

[00:00:29] Only pigeon peas and rice

[00:00:34] A little ginger tea

[00:00:38] Mary thank us with her eyes

[00:00:43] She poor the same as we

[00:00:47] She poor the same as we

[00:00:56] Mary and the baby lonely

[00:01:02] Lonely is not good to be

[00:01:06] So we sit awhile and chat awhile

[00:01:11] To keep them company

[00:01:15] Stay awhile makes the baby smile

[00:01:20] Pass the time of day

[00:01:24] When we see how pleased they be

[00:01:29] It make us glad we stay

[00:01:33] So glad that we could stay

[00:01:42] Mary and the baby weary

[00:01:47] Oh we know what weary be

[00:01:51] So we make a bed and pillow for their head

[00:01:56] With down from the muhow tree

[00:02:01] Only down from the muhow tree

[00:02:06] To rest them soft and good

[00:02:11] We feel bad this was all we had

[00:02:15] We do the best we could

[00:02:19] We do the best we could

[00:02:29] Mary and the baby rest easy

[00:02:34] We go away and let them be

[00:02:38] On hush tip toe and voice kept low

[00:02:43] We look up and see

[00:02:48] Stars of hope shine in the sky

[00:02:52] To mark the baby's birth

[00:02:57] Seemed to say it's borning day

[00:03:02] Of better times on earth

[00:03:06] Of better times on earth
