Luyện nghe bài hát Kiri's Piano

Of all of Kiri Ito's joys, the she loved the best
Was to play her prized piano the sun had gone to rest
I used to hear the notes drift down along the water
As played the notes and scales for her dear sons and daughters
Now me I piano though not as good as Kiri
She went in for that long haired stuff but my she it pretty
The old piano had a would set my heart to aching
It always sounded sweetest though when it was Kiri
In when the seventh fleet was turned to smoke and ashes
The order to confiscate their fishing boats and caches
And Kiri's husband forced to go and work in 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 sounded haunted played with played with doubt
For Kiri knew that soon she too be compelled to leave
And the old upright would behind and Kiri she would grieve
I loaded Kiri on the bus with stoic
The crime that they were of was that they were not like me
And if I was ashamed I didn't 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 belongings
And set them out for auctioneers who'd claim in the morning
One that I thought I'd keep and hold back for myself
Was that haunting ivory upright that played so well
But Kiri had not left it there for me to as plunder
She'd rolled it down onto the dock and on the harbor
That old in strangers' hands was a thought she couldn't bear
So she consigned it to the sea to settle the
So many years have and gone since Kiri's relocation
I back now upon that time with shame and resignation
For Kiri knew what I did not that if we must be
Then sometimes we must sacrifice to our dignity
Yes Kiri knew what I did not if we must be free
Then sometimes we sacrifice to gain our dignity
