Luyện nghe bài hát Kiri's Piano

Of all of Kiri Ito's joys, the thing she the best
Was to play her prized piano when the sun had to rest
I used to hear the notes drift down along the water
As Kiri played the notes and scales for her dear sons and
Now me I played though not as good as Kiri
She went in for that long haired but my she played it pretty
The old piano had a tone would set my to aching
It always sounded sweetest though it was Kiri playing
In December when the seventh fleet was to smoke and ashes
The order came to their fishing 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 from up the cove at Kiri's house
And when it did it sounded haunted with worry played with doubt
For Kiri that soon she too would be compelled to leave
And the old upright would behind and Kiri she would grieve
I loaded Kiri on the bus stoic internees
The crime that they were of was that they were not like me
And if I was I didn't know it at the time
were flotsam on the wave of war they were no friends of mine
I went up to Kiri's house to tag all their
And set them out for who'd claim them in the morning
One piece that I thought I'd keep and back for myself
Was that haunting ivory upright that Kiri so well
But had not left it there for me to take as plunder
She'd it down onto the dock and on into the harbor
That old upright in strangers' hands was a she couldn't bear
So she consigned it to the sea to the affair
So many years have come and gone since relocation
I look back now upon that time shame and resignation
For Kiri knew I did not that if we must be free
Then sometimes we must sacrifice to our dignity
Yes Kiri knew what I did not if we must be free
Then sometimes we must to gain our dignity
