Tekst piosenki
Shaped for speed
strong on the wing
the sketches and designs were made,
frames were laid
by hand-picked men.
Working every hour they had
to build the fire
to make the engine;
looking to the road ahead
blows are struck
to forge the steel
so she can fly.
The road is clear
and words remain unsaid.
He walks the high wire
with the engines and men
of the line.
He sees love,
he sees hope,
he sees everything that they are;
the need to fly far.
He sees love.
Men as giants,
hammers falling,
the works' own heartbeat.
Furnace stacks with black smoke rising
steal the clean air.
(here she comes)
Joe and Tommy on the plate
their caps are worn in racing style,
elbows jutting from the cab.
Working every hour they had
to build the fire
to drive the engine;
looking to the road ahead.
There was a lonely voice
and it spoke these words:
‘run hard as you like
for the engines and men
of the line'.
He sees love.
he sees hope,
he sees everything that they are;
the need to fly far.
He sees love.
Men as giants
feed the engine
build the fire from cold.
Coal and water
fire and steam
to drive the pistons home.
He sees love.
They ran south
working up the bank
past the upturned faces
of the platelayers.
She starts to take her wing,
she jumps to it like a living thing,
made for speed and in full cry
they gave her the road
and she holds to the line.
Church bells call a beat along the track
she burns with the substance of the land.
Racing through the circling lines
a rocket in blue at two miles a minute,
embers stream along her sides;
from this far away now,
she flies with them
into sky
into history
into legend
she flies…
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
/ Align = "left" /
strong on the wing
szkice i projekty zostały wykonane,
ramki zostały ułożone
przez wybranych ludzi.
Pracowali co godzinę.
to build the fire
to make the engine;
looking to the road ahead
/ align = "left" /
to forgive the steel
żeby mogła latać.
Droga wolna.
a słowa pozostają niewypowiedziane.
He walks the high wire
with the engines and men
kolejki.
On widzi miłość,
widzi nadzieję,
widzi wszystko, czym są.;
potrzeba dalekiego lotu.
Widzi miłość.
Mężczyźni jako giganci,
młoty spadające,
bicie serca dzieła.
/ Align = "left" /
ukradnij czyste powietrze.
(here she comes)
Joe i Tommy na talerzu
ich czapki są noszone w stylu wyścigowym,
łokcie wystające z kabiny.
Pracowali co godzinę.
to build the fire
do napędu silnika;
patrząc na drogę przed nami.
"There was a lonely voice"
i wypowiedział te słowa:
"run hard as you like
for the engines and men
linii".
Widzi miłość.
widzi nadzieję,
widzi wszystko, czym są.;
potrzeba dalekiego lotu.
Widzi miłość.
Mężczyźni jako giganci
feed the engine
rozpal ogień z zimna.
Węgiel i woda
fire and steam
żeby odwieźć tłoki do domu.
Widzi miłość.
Uciekli na południe.
"working up the bank"
past the uptuned faces
/ align = "left" /
/ Align = "left" / ,
skacze do niego jak żywa istota.,
made for speed and in full cry
dali jej drogę.
i trzyma się linii.
Dzwony kościelne wzywają rytm wzdłuż toru
pali się substancją ziemi.
/ Align = "left" / Linear
/ align = "left" / ,
embers stream along her side;
from this far away now,
leci z nimi.
into sky
do historii
into legend
"she flies"…
