Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swing to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
感谢美景同学！附小故事
唐朝的时候，有很多日本学者和僧人来到长安学习生活。阿贝仲麻吕，汉名晁衡，为奈良时代的日本学者。到长安后因为汉学文化渊博，竟然高中进士，被唐朝皇帝赏识，委以重任。他的朋友圈包括了韦庄，李白，王维等文坛大咖。
后来他年纪大了，想念日本老家的生鱼片，就向皇帝告老还乡。皇帝坚决挽留他。有一年中秋节，皇帝召开中秋节大Party，命大家写诗庆祝。晁衡写了这首：
翘首望东天
神驰奈良边
三笠山顶上
想又皎月圆
情深意切的作品让皇帝感慨不已，遂批准其退休，social security不受影响。
送别之时，大家依依不舍。海天路远，不知再见何时？
韦庄写下送别诗：
扶桑已在渺茫中
家在扶桑东又东
此去与师谁共到
一船明月一帆风
江苏镇江的北固山上，至今保留着诗碑。
Down the way
Where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way
Where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
