Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 he immigrated from Japan
He, he, he worked until he was able to buy this
And a store

Let me, tell you the story in the of a dream
I don't why I have to tell it, but I know what it means
Close your eyes, picture the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When this man Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was just a man, with a family, who a store in L.A.

That day, he out of bed like he always did
Bacon and eggs with wife and
He lived on the second of a little store, he ran
He to L.A. from Japan
called him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, say, he was called, Esay
That 'First generation in the United States'

When everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the
But most of all afraid of a homeland
And morning when Ken went out on the doormat
His world went black
Right there, front news, three weeks before 1942
"Pearl Harbour's bombed and the Japs are comin'"

Pictures of dyin' and runnin'
Ken what it would lead to
Just he guessed, the President said
"The evil Japanese in our home will be locked away"
They gave Ken, a of days
To get his whole packed in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't even pack his

Some folks even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two bags, was all they gave them
When the asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody even knew, what to say to
Ken didn't wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for
So we to live in a place called Mandinar
Where a lot of Japanese are"

Stop it, don't at the gunmen
You don't wanna get the soldiers
If you run or not,
if you run then you might get shot
Other than that, try not to about it
Try not to worry 'bout it bein' so
Someday, get out, someday, someday

As soon as war out
The G.I. came and they just come to the
And you have to come all the have to go
took Mr.Lee, people didn't understand
Why did they have to him?
he's an innocent labor

So now, they're in a town with soldiers them
Every day, every night, down at them
From towers up on the wall
Ken couldn't really them at all
They were just their job and
He gonna make any problems

He had a little garden, vegetables and fruits that
He gave to the troops in a his wife made
But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families life
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, what
Time in the prison town

He wanted to live it down when they were free
The only way out was, the army
And supposedly, some men out for the army, signed on
And up flyin' to Japan with a bomb
15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war pretty fast
Two were blown to bits, the end of the war came quick

Ken got out, big of a normal life, with his kids and his wife
But, when they got back to their
What they saw them feel so alone
These people had trashed room
Smashed in the windows and in the doors
Written on the walls and the floor 'Japs not anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his and just stood outside
He, at his wife without words to say
She back at him, wiped the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have changed, but the story's true
My family was up back in '42
My family was there it was dark and
And called it, an internment camp

When we first got from camp, uhh
It was pretty, bad, I, I remember my husband said
"Are we gonna 'til last?"
Then my husband died before close the camp
