Manzanar - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Laurie Lewis[00:00:00]

He said my name is nakashima[00:00:33]

And I'm a proud american[00:00:39]

I came here in '27[00:00:45]

From my homeland of japan[00:00:51]

And we picked your grapes and oranges[00:00:56]

Made some money bought a store[00:01:02]

Until 1942[00:01:08]

Pearl harbor and the war[00:01:14]

Came those relocation orders[00:01:20]

They took our house the store the car[00:01:25]

Then they drove us to the desert[00:01:31]

To a place called manzanar[00:01:37]

The spanish word for apple orchard[00:01:42]

Though we saw no apple trees[00:01:49]

Just the rows of prison barracks[00:01:54]

And barbed wired boundaries[00:02:01]

And we dream of apple blossoms[00:02:06]

Waving free beneath the stars[00:02:12]

Till we wake up in the desert[00:02:17]

The prisoners of manzanar[00:02:23]

Manzanar[00:02:29]

Fifty years they've all but vanished[00:02:52]

And now I am an old man[00:02:58]

But I don't regret the day[00:03:04]

That I came here from japan[00:03:10]

But on moonlit winter nights[00:03:15]

I often wish upon a star[00:03:21]

That I'd forget the shame and sorrow[00:03:27]

That I felt at manzanar[00:03:33]

And we dream of apple blossoms[00:03:39]

Waving free beneath the stars[00:03:44]

Till we wake up in the desert[00:03:50]

The prisoners of manzanar[00:03:56]

Manzanar[00:04:01]

Manzanar[00:04:27]

Manzanar[00:04:30]
