Genena, I saw you in the street tonight With laughing face and flying feet With a smile so rare and sweet and light As you danced along the street
Won't you stop and talk with me Just a minute if you please Won't you come and sit by me And talk awhile before you leave Won't you give your smile to me, my love Of dancing eyes and dimpled cheek Won't you stop and let me see, my love Your smile once before you speak
As I wonder who you are How many people can you be As I watch you from afar Do you even notice me As I wonder who you are Are you the girl I think you'd be As I watch you from afar Are you the girl I think I see

У нас по радио стали ставить только в 90-х. Раньше было запрещено. Мы же, позднесоветские дети, ничего не зная, неоткуда, всё же как-то понимали, что это песни довоенной молодости наших дедов и бабушек. Того мира что был так юн, так наивен, так жесток, так полон надежд.
«Крутится-вертится шар голубой» ещё. А «Опять от меня сбежала последняя электричка» дед тоже любил, но, как понимаю, уже послевоенная. Какие вы можете назвать?
The song has mento influences, but 'Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)' was commonly classified as an example of the better known calypso music. It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.
Mento is a style of Jamaican folk music that predates and has greatly influenced ska and reggae music. Mento typically features acoustic instruments, such as acoustic guitar, banjo, hand drums, and the rhumba box — a large mbira in the shape of a box that can be sat on while played. The rhumba box carries the bass part of the music.
Mento is often confused with calypso, a musical form from Trinidad and Tobago. Although the two share many similarities, they are separate and distinct musical forms. During the mid-20th century, mento was conflated with calypso, and mento was frequently referred to as calypso, kalypso and mento calypso. Mento singers frequently used calypso songs and techniques. As in Calypso, mento uses topical lyrics with a humorous slant, commenting on poverty and other social issues. Sexual innuendos are also common.
Mento draws on musical traditions brought by West African slaves. They also absorbed European musical traditions, creating a new form. Slaves who could play musical instruments were often required to play music for their masters and often rewarded for such skills. The Africans created a creole music, incorporating such elements of these traditions, including quadrille, into their own folk music.
The Jamaican mento style has a long history of conflation with Trinidadian calypso...
