Luyện nghe bài hát Kiri's Piano

Of all of Ito's joys, the thing she loved the best
Was to play her piano when the sun had gone to rest
I to hear the notes drift down along the silent water
As Kiri played the notes and scales for her sons and daughters
Now me I played piano though not as as Kiri
She went in for that long haired stuff but my she played it
The old piano had a would set my heart to aching
It sounded sweetest though when it was Kiri playing
In December when the fleet was turned to smoke and ashes
The order came to confiscate their fishing and caches
And Kiri's husband forced to go and work in camps
And Kiri alone to fend and hold the fort as best 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 worry played doubt
For knew that soon she too would be compelled to leave
And the old upright would stay behind and she would grieve
I loaded Kiri on the bus stoic internees
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 friends of
I went up to Kiri's house to tag all their
And set out for auctioneers who'd claim them in the morning
One piece I thought I'd keep and hold back for myself
Was that ivory upright that Kiri 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 upright in strangers' was a thought she couldn't bear
So she consigned it to the sea to settle the
So many years have come and gone since Kiri's
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 gain our
Yes Kiri knew I did not that if we must be free
Then sometimes we must sacrifice to our dignity
