Jamaica Farewell

Harry Belafonte

Mesures à 2 temps Intro:   Down the way, where the nights are gay, And the sun shines daily on the mountain top,   I took a trip on a sailing ship, And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop. But I'm Sad to say, I'm on my way,   Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down; my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Sounds of laughter everywhere, And the dancing girls sway to and fro, I must declare: my heart is there, Though I've been from Maine to Mexico. But I'm Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down; my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Down at the market, you can hear, Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear, Aki rice, swordfish are nice, And the rum is fine any time of year. But I'm Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down; my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Down the way, where the nights are gay, And the sun shines daily on the mountain top, I took a trip on a sailing ship, And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop. But I'm Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down; my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down; my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

La chanson évoque le départ d'un homme qui se remémore les moments joyeux passés en Jamaïque, où il a laissé une petite fille qu'il chérit à Kingston. Il se souvient des paysages ensoleillés, des rires et des danses qui remplissent l'air, mais son cœur est lourd de tristesse à l’idée de quitter cet endroit enchanteur et la personne qui lui est chère. Malgré ses voyages à travers divers pays, une partie de lui est restée là-bas, et le souvenir de sa petite amie le hante alors qu'il prend la mer. Ce départ est teinté de mélancolie, car il sait qu'il ne pourra pas revenir de sitôt.
