Red Barchetta - Rush

Red Barchetta

Rush



Lyrics:
My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

Wind!
In my hair!
Shifting and drifting!
Mechanical music!
Adrenalin surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

Letra:
Mi tío tiene una casa en el campo
que nadie conoce.
Él dice que solía ser una granja,
antes de la Ley del Motor.
Y los Domingos, ignoro a los Ojos,
y me subo al Transporte a Turbina
hacia más allá de la Conexión,
donde me espera mi tío de pelos canosos.

Salto hacia el suelo
mientras el Turbo desacelera para cruzar la Línea Divisoria.
Corre como el viento,
mientras los escalofríos de excitación suben y bajan por mi columna.
allá en su granero,
mi tío conservó para mí una vieja máquina,
por cincuenta extraños años.
Mantenerlo como nuevo ha sido su sueño más preciado.

Retiro los antiguos escombros
que esconden un carro brillante.
Un brillante Barchetta rojo
de una mejor época, desvanecida.
Enciendo el motor dispuesto,
respondiendo con un rugido.
Las llantas escupen la grava,
cometo mi crimen semanal...

¡Viento!
¡en mi pelo!
¡cambiando y fluyendo!
¡música mecánica!
oleada de adrenalina...

Cuero bien curtido,
metal caliente y aceite,
el olor del campo perfumado.
Luz solar sobre el cromo,
la imagen borrosa del paisaje,
cada nervio listo.

De repente, delante de mí,
a través de la ladera (de la montaña),
una reluciente aleación de aire con carro
dispara hacia mí, con dos carriles de ancho.
Me doy vueltas con llantas chirriantes,
para recorrer la carrera mortal,
yendo gritando a través del valle
como otro que se une a la persecución.

Conduce como el viento,
forzando los límites de la máquina y del hombre.
Gritando en voz alta
con miedo y esperanza, tengo un plan desesperado.
En el puente de un solo carril
dejo a los gigantes varados en la orilla.
Regreso a la granja, para soñar con mi tío junto a la chimenea.

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...
