Luyện nghe bài hát Kiri's Piano

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