Island In The Sun -Joan Baez （·贝兹）
Written by ：H.Belafonte /Burgess
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
Oh island in the sun
Built 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 earthly low
Oh island in the sun
Will to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters
Your shining sand
There's woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
A man stand at the water side
Casting nets at the surfing tide
Oh island in the sun
Will to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters
Your shining sand
