Manzanar - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Katy Moffatt[00:00:00]

He said my name is Nakashima[00:00:13]

And I'm a proud American[00:00:19]

I came here in '27[00:00:25]

From my homeland of Japan[00:00:30]

And we picked your grapes and oranges[00:00:36]

Made some money bought a store[00:00:42]

Until 1942[00:00:48]

Pearl Harbor and the war[00:00:54]

Came those relocation orders[00:00:59]

They took our house the store the car[00:01:05]

Then they drove us to the desert[00:01:11]

To a place called Manzanar[00:01:17]

The Spanish word for apple orchard[00:01:23]

Though we saw no apple trees[00:01:29]

Just the rows of prison barracks[00:01:35]

And barbed wired boundaries[00:01:41]

And we dream of apple blossoms[00:01:47]

Waving free beneath the stars[00:01:53]

Till we wake up in the desert[00:01:59]

The prisoners of Manzanar[00:02:05]

Manzanar[00:02:11]

Fifty years they've all but vanished[00:02:43]

And now I am an old man[00:02:49]

But I don't regret the day[00:02:55]

That I came here from Japan[00:03:01]

But on moonlit winter nights[00:03:07]

I often wish upon a star[00:03:13]

That I'd forget the shame and sorrow[00:03:19]

That I felt at Manzanar[00:03:25]

And we dream of apple blossoms[00:03:31]

Waving free beneath the stars[00:03:37]

Till we wake up in the desert[00:03:43]

The prisoners of Manzanar[00:03:49]

And we dream of apple blossoms[00:03:55]

Waving free beneath the stars[00:04:01]

Till we wake up in the desert[00:04:06]

The prisoners of Manzanar[00:04:12]

Manzanar[00:04:18]
