Tomorrow For Old England She Sails

(2012-03-20 19:52:56) 下一个


Song: The Last Farewell
Artist: Roger Whittaker

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell

Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale

For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Thanks for letting me know. Have a nice Sunday.

According to Wikipedia, Pocahontas she died in John Rolfe's arms(her husband) at the age of twenty-two. They had a son named Thomas Rolfe. Pocahontas was really a courageous woman who saved John Smith's life. In a letter to Queen Anne, Smith wrote, "she [Pocahontas] hazarded the beating out of her own brains to save mine; and not only that, but so prevailed with her father, that I was safely conducted to Jamestown."

Yes Becca, the Disney movie Pocahontas is one of my favorite. I've heard in real life Pocahantas sailed to England but died young. She is the ambassador of peace and love.

Enjoy your weekend（＾Ｏ＾☆♪

Thanks for your wonderful comments and warm greetings. I like Roger's baritone singing voice very much.

Are you talking about the Walt Disney movie Pocahonats? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q1QF8G47oU

Have a nice weekend.

Roger's voice rolls like the big waves from the ocean...

Enjoy your weekend with your precious families, sis Becca & Tenyu（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
