Think about the meaning of this song for a second and it's a little more than a catchy tune. The song is actually written from the perspective of a field worker working the banana fields. His job is to chop down banana bushels, fill the crates, and send it via truckload to the shipyards. He's been working all night and he's tired, thus, he wants to go home. So, he is praying that soon, the "tally man", his boss, will come around and tell him that he's gotten enough bananas, he's free to go. After all, daylight has come. The song begins with silence and then the echo of his voice coming in stronger and stronger - this is to represent the sun rising. "Day-o. Me see day. Me see day. Me see day-ooooh." The sentiments of hiding the black tarantula is derivative of their company policy - bugs in the bushel means it's not acceptable for sale. So if he goes to tally-up his take for the day, and finds a tarantula, it means he is not going home early. At the end, the song slows, the silence returns to just his voice - acapella. The sun is now setting... and we can tell by his exasperated tone, and long, drawn notes that he is in for another long night of drinking rum, picking those bananas, and hiding those tarantulas. Hopefully soon, the tally man will count his take and release him for the evening.

[@debosmandutta2873]

Nope, it's about Jamaican dock workers during the banana republic government, not field workers, they unloaded trucks and loaded ships during the night shift, that's why it says daylight come and me wanna go home because their shift is over, field workers don't work at night, also the tarantula has no interior meaning, stacks or boxes of banana often had spiders hidden in them, which was dangerous for the workers very clearly, that is what is being said here

[@kalmia01]

"This is a traditional Jamaican song that was sung by dock workers who worked throughout the night loading bananas onto ships. It's daylight, and they look forward to the arrival of the Tallyman (who will take inventory) so they can go home. Belafonte's version used lyrics adapted by Irving Burgie and William Attaway. Burgie, sometimes credited as "Lord Burgess," is a popular Caribbean composer. Attaway was a novelist and songwriter who was friends with Belafonte. Burgie and Attaway wrote most of the songs on the Calypso album."

The music, tune, lyrics everything pointed to a natural origin of the song, as if this song was naturally selected out of a long tradition of workers.

This song is a gem. Didn't know the story behind it. It reminds me of an afro Peruvian song that tells the struggles of our black people getting up at 4 in the morning following orders of the "mayoral" to do work in the fields. It's such catchy song we always danced to but few people pay attention to the lyrics and ignore that it's a song of lament. It does have the call and response style of this song too. It's amazing how much history there is behind these songs of African descent people. Great work Mr. Harry Belafonte. Rest In Peace

[@malakyahmalla8009]

Mr Belafonte was half Jamaican. The song has its origins in slavery wherein the plantation owners would cultivate Bananas at the slave's expense. Therefore, when it was 'reaping' (stock taking) time or trading, the man taking the stocks (tally) would count the number of bunches each worker had. This was, ofcourse, a tedious and timely process. Therefore, the song represents the cry of the farmers in Jamaican creole language known as patois (french pronunciation 'patwa'). "Come missa tallyman tally mi banana" is the english equivalent of 'Come mister counting man (stock taker) count my bananas. The night is coming, and I need to go home..." There is indeed a correlation between the history of the Caribbean and South America!

No one had such an impact worldwide, such force, honesty, bravery, commitment, wisdom and tenacity (as his great friend and equally immense artist Sidney Poitier pointed out), ability to make Art serve human fundamental purposes such as equality, freedom, mutual understanding, peace, contamination of cultures. And at the same time, few could make Art with such enjoyment, love and splendor, bringing so much joy to the world. A real "gatekeeper of truth" and a man made of pure love❤
