Sting - Island Of Souls
Billy was born within sight of the shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun
And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future,
Of money he never would save
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future
Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched the great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a shipbuilder's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be foundSting - Island Of Souls - http://motolyrics.com/sting/island-of-souls-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
To a place far away from this town.
Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies
And Billy would cry when he thought if the future
Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live,
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
That night, he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town,
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls.
Sting - Isla de las almas (Spanish translation)
Billy nacio en vista del astillero
Primer hijo de un hijo de armador
Y Billy crecio mientras el barco se convirtio en sombra
Su gran cuerpo bloquearia la luz del sol
Y seis dias a la semana miraria a su padre
Un obrero viviendo como un esclavo
Beberia todas las noches y so~naria con un futuro
Con dinero que nunca ahorrara
Y Billy lloraria pensando en el futuro
Pronto llego el dia cuando quebraron la botella
Metieron el gran barco al mar
Se sintio dejado atras en una palya desolada
A un futuro del que desesperadamente queria huirse
Que otra cosa habia para el hijo de un armador
Otro barco a construir, otro trabajo a hacer
Un dia so~no con un barco en este mundo
Llevaria a su padre y a el
A un sitio donde nunca seran encontradosSting - Island Of Souls - http://motolyrics.com/sting/island-of-souls-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
A un sitio lejos de su ciudad
Encadenado en la jaula del esqueleto de un barco
Todos los obreros se juntaron como moscas
Atrapado en la llaga de la luz acetilena
Un obrero trabaja hasta que muera la industria
Y Billy lloraria pensando en el futuro
Despues paso lo que llaman un accidente industrial
Y quebro a ellos tanto que no se lo puede perdonar
Trajeron al padre de Billy a casa en una ambulancia
Un cheque de dinero, una examinacion, tal vez tres semanas a vivir
Que otra cosa habia para el hijo de un armador
Otro barco a construir, otro trabajo a hacer
Esta noche so~no con un barco en este mundo
Llevaria a su padre y a el
A un sitio donde nunca seran encontrados
A un sitio lejos de su ciudad
Un barco de Newcastle sin carbon
Navegarian a la isla de las almas
