Johnny Cash "Engine 143" lyrics

Translation to:hr

Engine 143

Along came the F-15 the swiftest on the lineRunning over the C and O road just twenty minutes behindRunning into Cevile head porters on the lineReceiving their strict orders from a station just behind

Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her armSaying my darling son be careful how you runFor many a man has lost his life trying to make lost timeAnd if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time

Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushedUpside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smashHis head was against the firebox door the flames were rolling highI'm glad I was born an engineer on the C and O road to die

The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be stillYour life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed willOh no said George that will not do I want to die so freeI want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three

The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be savedMurdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome graveHis face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not seeThe very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee

Motor 143

Stigao je F-15, najokretniji iz linijePrelazeći C i O cestu* sa samo dvadeset minuta zaostatkaUlijeće u Cevile na liniju glavnim vratarimaPrima njihove stroge naredbe iz stanice odmah iza

Georgijeva mama došla je k njemu s kantom na ruciGovoreći - dragi moj sine, pazi kako vozišJer mnogi su ljudi izgubili život pokušavajući nadoknaditi izgubljeno vrijemeI ako pravilno upravljaš svojim motorom, stići ćeš tamo baš na vrijeme

Gore na cesti bacio se prema stijenama, razbio seNaopako se motor okrenuo i Georgijeva prsa su se baš smrskalaGlava mu je bila uz otvor rezervoara, plamen se dizao visokoDrago mi je da sam se rodio kao inženjer na C i O cesti da umrem

Doktor je rekao Georgiju, dragi moj dečko, budi miranTvoj život još može biti spašen ako je to blagoslovljena božja voljaOh, ne, rekao je George, to neće valjati, želim umrijeti tako slobodanŽelim umrijeti za motor, ja volim sto četrdeset trojku

Doktor je rekao Georgiju - tvoj život ne može biti spašenUbijen na željeznici i položen u grob na osamiNjegovo lice prekriveno krvlju, njegove oči nisu mogle vidjetiPosljednje riječi koje je bijedni Georgie rekao bile su: Bliže, o Bože moj*
