Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean is an album by Harry Belafonte, released by RCA Victor (LPM-1505) in 1957.
Harry Belafonte (born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and social activist. One of the most successful Jamaican-American pop stars in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style (originating in Trinidad & Tobago) with an international audience in the 1950s. His breakthrough álbum Calypso(1956) is the first million-selling LP by a single artist. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing "The Banana Boat Song", with its signature lyric "Day-O". He has recorded in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards. He has also starred in several films, most notably in Otto Preminger's hit musical Carmen Jones (1954), Island in the Sun (1957), and Robert Wise's Odds Against Tomorrow(1959).
Oh, we went out to a party
It was me and Ben and Mac
And before I know what happen
I get an itchin' on me back

Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch

Well I was quite embarrassed
'Till my two friends I did see,
Well they were madly itching
And they were screaming louder that we

Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch

Now this scratching was contagious
And it didn't take very long
Everybody there was itching
As they join me in this song

Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch

Well de host he got excited
Picked up de phone in haste
Quickly dial a number
And said "Man come spray this place"
Scratch, scratch me back
Scratch, scratch me back
It really is a fact
The less I itch, the more I scratch.

"This song says, uh: No matter who you are, no matter where you go in life, in some point you go need somebody, to stand by you."

Oh yeah, Oh my darling, stand by me
No matter who you are
No matter where you go in life
You go need somebody, to stand by you.

No matter how much money you got
Or the friends you got
You go need somebody, to stand by you.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And that moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid

inRead invented by Teads
No I won't, shed one tear
Just as long as you people, call and stand by me

Oh darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand, stand by me,
C'mon Stand by me

When the sky that we look upon
When should tumble and fall
Or the mountains they should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me
Please stand, stand by me,
Stand by me (2x)

So darling, darling
Stand "salanami", Oh stand "salanami"
Oh stand, Oh stand, stand, stand by me,
C'mon stand by me

Stand "salanami", Oh won't you stand "salanami"
Oh stand "salanami", stand by me,
C'mon stand by me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I won't be afraid "salanami"
I won't be afraid
Not a long, not a long as you... (yeah)
Stand by me. (yeah yeah).

Tu sais, je n'ai jamais été aussi heureux que ce matin-là
Nous marchions sur une plage un peu comme celle-ci
C'était l'automne, un automne où il faisait beau
Une saison qui n'existe que dans le Nord de l'Amérique
Là-bas on l'appelle l'été indien
Mais c'était tout simplement le nôtre
Avec ta robe longue tu ressemblais
A une aquarelle de Marie Laurencin
Et je me souviens, je me souviens très bien
De ce que je t'ai dit ce matin-là
Il y a un an, y a un siècle, y a une éternité

On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s'aimera encore, lorsque l'amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin

Aux couleurs de l'été indien

Aujourd'hui je suis très loin de ce matin d'automne
Mais c'est comme si j'y étais
Je pense à toi
Où es tu?
Que fais-tu?
Est-ce que j'existe encore pour toi?
Je regarde cette vague qui n'atteindra jamais la dune
Tu vois, comme elle je reviens en arrière
Comme elle, je me couche sur le sable
Et je me souviens
Je me souviens des marées hautes

Du soleil et du bonheur qui passaient sur la mer
Il y a une éternité, un siècle, il y a un an

On ira où tu voudras, quand tu voudras
Et on s'aimera encore, lorsque l'amour sera mort
Toute la vie sera pareille à ce matin
Aux couleurs de l'été indien.

Os excessos tentam
diminuir
tudo o que nos falta
sem conseguir
vontades fazem
de um rei um escravo
quando põe o mundo atrás das grades.
São as forças
que nos podem matar
São fraquezas
que nos podem salvar
erros são certos
pra sermos únicos
defeitos
se confundem com virtudes.
Todos precisam de um veneno
pra encher a sua taça de desejo
todos precisam de um desejo
pra encher a sua taça de veneno
mas com medo não se vive
com receio não se vai
com a dúvida não se arrisca
não se voa, não se cai
curto é o caminho dos covardes
triste é o riso dos ignorantes.
Todos precisam...
