Dianne이 16세 그리고 Janet는 9살이였던 1955년 당시 TV에서 가장 인기 음악 프로그램이 였던 "The Lawrence Welk Show"에 데뷰출연하면서 센세이션을 불러 일으켰고 그후 1968년까지 고정 출연멤버로 활동하게 됩니다 60년대초 미군 방송인 AFKN TV의 Lawrence Welk Show를 즐겨 시청하였던 것은 물론 로렌스 웰크 악단의 음악도 좋았지만 예쁘고 발랄한 레논 시스터스의 음악이 좋아서 였죠 레논이 가는곳은 언제나 구름관중이 몰려들엇고 사람들은 그녀들이 가는곳은 마치 구름위를

Island In The Sun
This is my island in the sun Where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many a sea Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
As morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I pray the day will never come When I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Jamaica Farewell
Down the bay where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop 밤엔 즐거운 일이 가득하고 낮에는 산마루에 하루종일 햇빛이 빛나는 곳을 찾아 범선을 타고 여행을 떠났다네 그렇게 하여 도착한곳은 자마이카 * * 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 하지만 아쉽게도 내 여행길은 아직 끝나지 않았고 당분간은 돌아가지도 않을거라네 마음은 우울하고 머리는 혼란스럽기만하다네 킹스턴에서 아가씨와 이별을 해야만 했었다네 Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico 어디서나 웃음소리가 가득하고 아가씨들은 허리를 흔들며 춤을 추고 있다네 메인에서 멕시코까지 다 다녀보았지만 내 마음이 가는 곳은 바로 그곳이라네* * Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year 저 아래 시장골목에선 아키며 쌀이며 얼음에 잰 소금 생선을 머리에 인 아낙네들의 물건파는 소리가 들려오고 럼주는 일년내내 그 맛이 일품이라네* * Down the bay where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop 밤엔 즐거운 일이 가득하고 낮에는 산마루에 하루종일 햇빛이 빛나는 곳을 찾아 범선을 타고 여행을 떠났다네 그렇게 하여 도착한곳은 자마이카 * * x 2
