Lyrics

Genesis - Driving The Last Spike

Leaving my family behind me
Not knowing what lay ahead
Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
Remembering all we'd said

I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
I asked Him for guidance and strength
But the simple beliefs of a simple man
Lay in His hands, and on my head
My head

I gave everything that they wanted
But still they wanted more
We sweat and we toiled
Good men lost their lives
I don't think they knew what for

I sold them my heart
I sold them my soul
I gave everything I had
But they couldn't break my spirit
My dignity fought back
Fightback
Just fightback

Can you hear me
Can you see
Don't you hear me
Don't you see

We worked in gangs for all we were worth
The young boys pulling the wagons
We were digging the tunnels, shifting the earth
It was then that it happened

No-one knew how the cracks appeared
But as it fell they all disappeared
Stone fell like rain

Can you hear me
Can you see
Don't you hear me
Can you breathe

The smoke cleared, the dust it settled
No one knew how many had died
All around there were broken men
They'd said it was safe, and they'd lied
You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear
But good fortune that day was mine
And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man
It seems is hard to findGenesis - Driving The Last Spike - http://motolyrics.com/genesis/driving-the-last-spike-lyrics-spanish-translation.html

Can you hear me

Can you see
Don't you hear me
Don't you see
How we worked, how we worked like
The devil for our pay
Through the wind, through the snow
And through the rain

Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife
Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life

But I can hear my children's cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
Memories of those I've left behind
Oh just still ringing in my ears
Will I ever go back again
Will I ever see her face again
Cos I'll always remember that night
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We came from the South
And we came from the North
With picks and with spades
And a new kind of order
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
They'll never see the likes of us again

Driving the last spike
Lifting and laying the track
With blistering hands
And the sun burning your back

But I can hear my children's cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
Oh memories of those I've left behind
Still ringing in my ears
Cos I'll always remember that night
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We followed the rail, we slept under the stars
Digging in darkness and living with danger
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
They'll never see the likes of us again

Can you hear me
Can you see
Don't you hear me
Don't you see

Genesis - Girando el ultimo clavo (Spanish translation)

Dejando mi familia atras
No sabiendo lo que pasara
Diciendo adios dejandoles en lagrimas
Recordando todo lo que dijimos

Mire hacia el cielo, ofreci mis oraciones
Le pedi por liderazgo y fuerza
Pero las creencias sinceras de un hombre sincero
Estaban metidas en Su mano y en mi cabeza

Yo daba todo lo que querian
Pero todavia querian mas
Sudabamos y obrabamos
Hombres buenos perdian su vida
No creo que sabian para que

Les vendia mi corazon, les vendia mi alma
Daba todo lo que tenia
Pero no podian quebrar mi espiritu
Mi dignidad repeleaba, repelea
Me puedes escuchar, puedes ver?
No me escuchas, no ves?

Trabajabamos en grupos por todo lo que valiamos
Los chicos jovenes tirando los coches
Cavabamos el tunel, moviamos la tierra
Fue entonces que paso

Nadie supe como aparecieron las roturas
Pero cuando cayo todos desaparecieron
Piedras cayeron como lluvia

Me puedes escuchar, puedes ver?
No me escuchas, puedes respirar?

El humo se claro el polvo se sento
Nadie supo cuantos habian muertos
Por todos lados hubo hombres quebrados
Habian dicho que era seguro, habian mentido
Pudiste escuchar los gritos, pudiste sentir el miedo
Pero por buena suerte el dia fue mio
Y me ocurria que el corazon de un hombre bueno
Parece ser duro encontrar

Me puedes escuchar, puedes ver?
No me escuchas, no ves?

Trabajamos, cuanto trabajamos comoGenesis - Driving The Last Spike - http://motolyrics.com/genesis/driving-the-last-spike-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
El diablo para nuestro salario
Por el viento, por la nieve
Y por la lluvia

Detonando y cortando por el pais de Dios como un cuchillo
Sudor doliendo mis ojos, hay que haber una vida mejor

Pero puedo ver mis hijos llorar
Puedo ver las lagrimas en sus ojos
Estos recuerdos los deje atras
Aun sonando en mi oido
Regresare en algun momento
La vere su cara de nuevo
Nunca olvidare esa noche
Cuando dijeron adios a sus padres

Venimos del Sur
Venimos del Norte
Con pico y con espatula
Y un nuevo tipo der orden
No mostrando ningun miedo de lo que estaba por pasar
Nunca veran nuestras caras de nuevo

Girando el ultimo clavo
Subiendo y bajando el riel
Con ampollas en las manos
El sol quemando tu espalda

Pero puedo ver mis hijos llorar
Puedo ver las lagrimas en sus ojos
Estos recuerdos los deje atras
Aun sonando en mi oido
Regresare en algun momento
La vere su cara de nuevo
Siempre recordare esa noche
Cuando dijeron adios a sus padres

Seguimos los rieles, dormimos debajo de las estrellas
Cavando en el oscuro, viviendo con el peligro
No mostrando miedo de lo que estaba por pasar
Nunca mas veran nuestras caras
