Roll On Big Boy

ru_railway — 01.02.2022 "Катись паровоз, грохотайте колёса"
Примерно так поётся в этой американской песне про "Большого парня" - самый большой паровоз в мире.




A legend from the past,
Is born again at last,
To rumble over mountains and the plains
From the golden age of steam,
An engine seldom seen,
By those who never lived in bygone days

Big Boy was her name,
And went on to railroad fame,
As the largest engine on the UP line
The last of all her class,
She survives from out the past,
To show the power of steam in modern times

Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Rumblin’ across the northern plains,
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Climbing up the Wasatch mountain range

In 1959,
They took her off the line,
And wrote her off as progress for the times
No dry eye could be found,
In jungles or in towns,
Where once Big Boy had rolled when in her prime

From the junkyards of the past,
4014 is the last,
To carry on the legacy of steam
At 4, 8, 8 and 4,
And a part of railroad lore,
She roars from out the past like some lost dream

Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Rumblin’ across the northern plains,
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Climbing up the Wasatch mountain range
Roll on, Big Boy Roll On
Roll On, Big Boy Roll On
Spoken:
Roll on, Big Boy, Roll On

А какие наши песни про паровозы вы знаете?
