Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came from in 1905
He was, 15 when he immigrated Japan
He, he, he worked he was able to buy this patch
And build a

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

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

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

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

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

it, don't look at the gunmen
You wanna get the soldiers wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run then you get shot
Other that, try not to think about it
Try not to 'bout it bein' so crowded
Someday, get out, someday, someday

As soon as war out
The G.I. and they just come to the house
And you to come all the Japanese have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did they have to take
Because an innocent labor

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

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

He wanted them to live it down when they were
The only way out was, joinin' the
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And ended up to Japan with a bomb
That 15 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 of a normal life, with his kids and his wife
But, when they got back to their
What they saw made them feel so
These people had every room
Smashed in the windows and in the doors
on the walls and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his and just stood outside
He, looked at his wife words to say
She looked back at him, wiped the tears
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have changed, but the story's true
My family was locked up in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And they it, an internment camp

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