Hymn of the Big Wheel
Andrew Lee Isaac Vowles, Grantley Marshall, Horace Keith Hinds, Neneh Cherry, Robert Del Naja
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of reflections over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And I'll show you sunset sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child solemn pray my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
The big wheel keeps on turning
A grande roda continua girando
On a simple line day by day
Em uma simples linha dia após dia
The earth spins on its axis
A terra gira em seu eixo
One man struggle while another relaxes
Um homem luta enquanto outro relaxa
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Há um buraco na minha alma como uma cavidade
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
Parece que o mundo está se reunindo apenas pela gravidade
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
A roda continua girando, o céu está se rearranjando
Look my son the weather is changing
Olhe meu filho, o tempo está mudando
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Gostaria de sentir que você poderia ser livre
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Olhe para os céus azuis sob uma nova árvore
Sometime again
Alguma vez novamente
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
Você vai ficar verde e o mar fica vermelho
My son I said the power of reflections over my head
Meu filho, eu disse, o poder das reflexões sobre minha cabeça
The big wheel keeps on turning
A grande roda continua girando
On a simple line day by day
Em uma simples linha dia após dia
The earth spins on its axis
A terra gira em seu eixo
One man struggle while another relaxes
Um homem luta enquanto outro relaxa
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
Cantamos sobre o sol e dançamos entre as árvores
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
E ouvimos o sussurro da cidade na brisa
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Você vai chorar mais em uma zona sem chumbo
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
Abaixo nas sombras onde as fábricas zumbem
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
Na superfície da roda, eles constroem outra cidade
And so the green come tumbling down
E então o verde vem caindo
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
Sim, feche os olhos e me abrace forte
And I'll show you sunset sometime again
E eu vou te mostrar o pôr do sol alguma vez novamente
The big wheel keeps on turning
A grande roda continua girando
On a simple line day by day
Em uma simples linha dia após dia
The earth spins on its axis
A terra gira em seu eixo
One man struggle while another relaxes
Um homem luta enquanto outro relaxa
As a child solemn pray my hope hides in disguise
Como uma criança reza solenemente, minha esperança se esconde em disfarce
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
Enquanto satélites e câmeras observam do céu
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
Uma gota de chuva ácida reciclada do mar
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
Lavou minha sombra, queimou um buraco em mim
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
E todos os homens do rei não podem colocá-lo de volta
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
Mas o sol do gueto nutrirá a vida
And mend my soul sometime again
E curará minha alma alguma vez novamente
The big wheel keeps on turning
A grande roda continua girando
On a simple line day by day
Em uma simples linha dia após dia
The earth spins on its axis
A terra gira em seu eixo
One man struggle while another relaxes
Um homem luta enquanto outro relaxa
The big wheel keeps on turning
La gran rueda sigue girando
On a simple line day by day
En una simple línea día tras día
The earth spins on its axis
La tierra gira sobre su eje
One man struggle while another relaxes
Un hombre lucha mientras otro se relaja
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Hay un agujero en mi alma como una cavidad
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
Parece que el mundo está dispuesto a reunirse solo por gravedad
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
La rueda sigue girando, el cielo se está reorganizando
Look my son the weather is changing
Mira hijo mío, el clima está cambiando
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Me gustaría sentir que podrías ser libre
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Mira hacia los cielos azules debajo de un nuevo árbol
Sometime again
Algún día otra vez
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
Te volverás verde y el mar se vuelve rojo
My son I said the power of reflections over my head
Hijo mío, dije, el poder de las reflexiones sobre mi cabeza
The big wheel keeps on turning
La gran rueda sigue girando
On a simple line day by day
En una simple línea día tras día
The earth spins on its axis
La tierra gira sobre su eje
One man struggle while another relaxes
Un hombre lucha mientras otro se relaja
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
Cantamos sobre el sol y bailamos entre los árboles
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Y escuchamos el susurro de la ciudad en la brisa
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
¿Llorarás en la zona más libre de plomo?
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
Abajo, entre las sombras, donde zumban las fábricas
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
En la superficie de la rueda construyen otra ciudad
And so the green come tumbling down
Y así el verde se viene abajo
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
Sí, cierra los ojos y abrázame fuerte
And I'll show you sunset sometime again
Y te mostraré la puesta de sol alguna vez más
The big wheel keeps on turning
La gran rueda sigue girando
On a simple line day by day
En una simple línea día tras día
The earth spins on its axis
La tierra gira sobre su eje
One man struggle while another relaxes
Un hombre lucha mientras otro se relaja
As a child solemn pray my hope hides in disguise
Como un niño reza solemnemente mi esperanza se esconde en el disfraz
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
Mientras los satélites y las cámaras observan desde el cielo
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
Una gota de lluvia ácida reciclada del mar
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
Lavó mi sombra, quemó un agujero en mí
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
Y todos los hombres del rey no pueden volver a ponerlo
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
Pero el sol del gueto nutrirá la vida
And mend my soul sometime again
Y curará mi alma alguna vez más
The big wheel keeps on turning
La gran rueda sigue girando
On a simple line day by day
En una simple línea día tras día
The earth spins on its axis
La tierra gira sobre su eje
One man struggle while another relaxes
Un hombre lucha mientras otro se relaja
The big wheel keeps on turning
La grande roue continue de tourner
On a simple line day by day
Sur une simple ligne jour après jour
The earth spins on its axis
La terre tourne sur son axe
One man struggle while another relaxes
Un homme lutte pendant qu'un autre se détend
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Il y a un trou dans mon âme comme une cavité
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
Il semble que le monde se rassemble juste par gravité
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
La roue continue de tourner, le ciel se réarrange
Look my son the weather is changing
Regarde mon fils, le temps change
I'd like to feel that you could be free
J'aimerais sentir que tu pourrais être libre

Regarde le ciel bleu sous un nouvel arbre
Sometime again
Encore une fois
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
Tu deviendras vert et la mer deviendra rouge

Vas-tu pleurer le plus dans une zone sans plomb
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
En bas dans les ombres où les usines bourdonnent
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
Sur la surface de la roue, ils construisent une autre ville
And so the green come tumbling down
Et ainsi le vert tombe en cascade
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
Oui, ferme les yeux et serre-moi fort

Alors que les satellites et les caméras regardent depuis le ciel
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
Une goutte d'acide de pluie recyclée de la mer
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
Elle a lavé mon ombre, brûlé un trou en moi
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
Et tous les hommes du roi ne peuvent pas le remettre en place

It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
Mencuci bayanganku, membakar lubang di dalamku
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
Dan semua pria raja tidak dapat memperbaikinya lagi
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
Tapi matahari ghetto akan memelihara kehidupan

เมื่อฉันยังเป็นเด็ก ฉันอธิษฐานอย่างจริงจัง ความหวังของฉันซ่อนอยู่ในการปลอมตัว
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
ในขณะที่ดาวเทียมและกล้องถ่ายรูปจับตามองจากท้องฟ้า
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
หยดน้ำฝนกรดรีไซเคิลจากทะเล
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
มันล้างเงาของฉันออกไปและเผารูในตัวฉัน
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
