letra de island in the sun (live) - harry 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
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
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 water side
casting nets at the surging tide
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
when i can’t awake to the sound of drum
never let me miss carnival
with calypso songs philosophical
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
sad the time, i’ll ever miss
the g-y colored skirts as they turn and twist
let me always hear soft guitars
and a maiden’s voice ‘neath a thousand stars
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
