Luyện nghe bài hát Kiri's Piano

Of all of Ito's joys, the thing she loved the best
Was to play her prized when the sun had gone to rest
I used to hear the notes drift down along the silent
As Kiri played the notes and for her dear sons and daughters
Now me I played piano though not as good as
She in for that long haired stuff but my she played it pretty
The old piano had a tone set my heart to aching
It always sounded though when it was Kiri playing
In December when the seventh was turned to smoke and ashes
The order came to confiscate their boats and caches
And Kiri's forced to go and work in labour camps
And Kiri left alone to fend and hold the fort as she can
But the music did not drift as often from up the at Kiri's house
And when it did it haunted played with worry played with doubt
For Kiri knew soon she too would be compelled to leave
And the old upright would stay and Kiri she would grieve
I loaded Kiri on the bus with stoic
The that they were guilty of was that they were not like me
And if I was ashamed I didn't it at the time
They were flotsam on the wave of war they were no of mine
I went up to Kiri's house to tag all their
And set them out for auctioneers claim them in the morning
One piece that I thought I'd keep and back for myself
Was that haunting upright that Kiri played so well
But Kiri had not it there for me to take as plunder
She'd rolled it down onto the dock and on the harbor
That old upright in strangers' hands was a thought she couldn't
So she consigned it to the sea to settle the
So many years have and gone since Kiri's relocation
I look back now upon that time with and resignation
For Kiri knew what I did not that if we must be
Then sometimes we must sacrifice to our dignity
Yes knew what I did not that if we must be free
Then sometimes we sacrifice to gain our dignity
