Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My came from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he from Japan
He, he, he until he was able to buy this patch
And a store

Let me, you the story in the form 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 paint it for you, it was War II
this man named Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was just a man, with a family, who owned a in L.A.

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

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

Pictures of soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew it would lead to
Just like he guessed, the President
"The evil Japanese in our home country be locked away"
gave Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole packed in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't even his clothes

Some folks even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they them
When the asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
even knew, what to say to them
Ken didn't lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to live in a place Mandinar
Where a lot of Japanese are"

Stop it, look at the gunmen
You wanna get the soldiers wonderin'
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 so crowded
Someday, get out, someday, someday

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

So now, they're in a town with soldiers surroundin'
Every day, night, look down at them
watch towers up on the wall
Ken couldn't hate them at all
were just doin' their job and
He wasn't gonna make any

He had a little garden, with and fruits that
He gave to the in a basket his wife made
But in the back of his mind, he wanted his life saved
Prisoners of war in their own country, what for?
Time passed in the town

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

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

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

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