I found some interesting information from wikipedia regarding this. Here it goes:

Jamaica Farewell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Jamaica Farewell” is a famous calypso about the beauties of the West Indian Islands.

The lyrics for the song were written by Lord Burgess (Irving Burgie). Lord Burgess was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1926. His mother was from Barbados and his father was from Virginia. The song first appeared on Harry Belafonte‘s phenomenally successful album Calypso.

Though many, including Belafonte himself, have said that the song was popular in the West Indies since long before Burgess, it is believed that Burgess compiled and modified the song from many folk pieces to make a new song, and it is indubitable that it was Belafonte who popularised the song outside the Caribbean Islands. Burgess acknowledged his use of the tune of another calypso, “Iron Bar”.

Other well-known singers of “Jamaica Farewell” include Sir Lancelot, Jimmy Buffett and Carly Simon..

The term “ackee rice” found in the lyrics refers to the fruit of a tropical tree indigenous to the Ivory Coast and Gold Coast of West Africa; taken to Jamaica in 1793. It has some poisonous properties, yet if properly prepared the fruit is often used as a food additive.

This song has been translated into many languages. For example, in Bangla, there exist several translations, some of which are quite well-known. One Bengali version of the song became an important anthem for the Naxalite revolutionary movement in the 1970s and thus has significance for Bengali intellectuals in Kolkata society.

****This youtube version is the earliest one. So sound and video quality is not good but you can feel the tunes. The real tunes.

Here is the lyrics:

JAMAICA FAREWELL
Down the way 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.

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.

Down at 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.

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.

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico.

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.

(George Jones – George Riddle)
« © ’63 Glad Music »
Look out heart I can tell you have weaken
For I feel those heartaches began
She’s come back and I don’t know what has brought her
She don’t love me she’s just lonesome again
For a while I know that I’ll be happy
And that’s all that matters within
Though I love her I know I can’t hold her
But she’ll come back when she’s lonesome again
Just like always I’m waiting here for her
Yes it’s true I always have been
Yes I love her but I know I’ll be sorry
She don’t love me she’s lonesome again
Yes I love her but I know I’ll be sorry
She don’t love me she’s lonesome again

Well! One of my favorite song. In the year 1998 I got reference of this song from Encarta. There was a small clipping. But somehow I loved that song without any feelings. Now I can feel it. I can touch it. May I am pretending to be but situation is not to.

Farewell. Farewell. Farewell.

শচীন দেব বর্মনের অনেক বিখ্যাত গান এটি। আমার সবচেয়ে প্রিয় গান। শেয়ার করলাম লিরিক।

বর্ণে গন্ধে ছন্দে গীতিতে হৃদয়ে দিয়েছো দোলা

রঙেতে রাঙিয়া রাঙাইলে মোরে, একি তব হরি খেলা

তুমি যে ফাগুন রঙেরো আগুন, তুমি যে রসেরো ধারা

তোমার মাধুরি তোমার মদিরা করে মোরে দিশাহারা

মুক্তা যেমন শুক্তিরো বুকে তেমনি আমাতে তুমি

আমার পড়ানে প্রেমের বিন্দু তুমিই শুধু তুমি।।

….

প্রেমের অনলে জ্বালি যে প্রদ্বীপ সে দ্বীপেরো শিখা তুমি

জোনাকি পাখায় ঝিকিমিকি নেচে এরে কি নাচালে তুমি

আপন হারাই উদাসী প্রাণের লহো গো প্রেমাঞ্জলি

তোমারে রচিয়া ভরেছি আমার বাউল গানের ঝুলি

মুক্তা যেমন শুক্তিরো বুকে তেমনি আমাতে তুমি

আমার পড়ানে প্রেমের বিন্দু তুমিই শুধু তুমি।।

….

চমকি দেখিনু আমার প্রেমের জোয়াড়ো তোমারি মাঝে

হৃদয় দোলায়, দোলাও আমারে তোমারো হিয়ারি মাঝে

তোমারো প্রাণের পুলক প্রবাহ মিশিতে চাহে আমাতে

যপো মোর নাম গাহ মোর গান আমার একতারাতে

মুক্তা যেমন শুক্তিরো বুকে তেমনি আমাতে তুমি

আমার পড়ানে প্রেমের বিন্দু তুমিই শুধু তুমি।।
