"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional Jamaican folk song. The song has mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better known calypso music. It is a call and response work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.

  • Day-O (Banana Boat Song) è un canto popolare giamaicano, appartenente al genere calypso, e cantato, nella sua più nota esecuzione, da Harry Belafonte. È una canzone che rappresenta un momento della vita dei lavoratori portuali del turno di notte che, dopo aver caricato la nave bananiera, facendosi ormai giorno, vogliono tornare a casa. Lo scopo della canzone è rinchiuso nella frase "Come, mister tallyman, tally me banana./ Daylight come and we wanna go home". (lett.: Vieni signor contabile, fai il conteggio delle mie banane. /La luce del giorno arriva e noi vogliamo andare a casa). Il debutto televisivo di Belafonte fu con questa canzone nella serie TV Muppet Show. (it)
