Wagon On The Motorway Lyrics – Ralph McTell
Singer: Ralph McTell
Title: Wagon On The Motorway
Driving on the motorway
I saw a truck ahead of me
And in it was a young girl and her fellow
They were coming from the west
And she had a baby on her breast
And the truck was painted bright in mauve and yellow
That steering wheel held in a grip
As tight as the roll-up on his lip
They never even gave me a single look
As she dreamed out at the fields
Whilst the baby took its meal
And I surveyed the scene as I overtook
The road was a ball of string they were unravelling
Looping words to the story they were travelling
Well, I saw him clench his jaw
As his left foot hit the floor
And the road was steep and he changed down a gear
And he glanced at his girl and child
And she turned from the window and smiled
And she fingered a lock of hair behind her ear
And all they owned was in that truck
And I thought about us and wished them luck
Continuing the journey they’d begun
It was just like yours and mine
A little further back in time
The pots and pans in a van with a baby son
The road was a ball of string they were unravelling
Looping words to the story they were travelling
Now, even wild birds sometimes need
Garden crumbs with their hedgerow seed
Watching out for foxes, stoats and weasels
One thing a fuel gauge cannot show
How far your new-age dream will go
Freedom’s more than just the price of diesel
And I could not help but wonder
When the sky is black with thunder
Incessant rain and wind and freezing fog
Is freedom’s scent as sweet as those
Wood smoke saturated clothes
Slack skinned bongo drums and a smelly dog
Spring comes with the celandine
And baby’s teeth and she stops crying
And life’s a neutral rolling downhill ride
As if a fortune you’d been paid
When first you sell something you’ve made
There’s the first warm night that you sleep outside
In my rear view mirror their truck grew small
Until no sign of them remained at all
And my route was a clear direction home
The road was a ball of string they were unravelling
Looping words to the story they were travelling
And the road was a ball of string they were unravelling
Looping words to the story they were travelling

Wagon On The Motorway – Terjemahan / Translation
Mengemudi di jalan raya
Saya melihat truk di depan saya
Dan di dalamnya adalah seorang gadis muda dan temannya
Mereka datang dari barat
Dan dia punya bayi di payudaranya
Dan truk itu dicat cerah di lembapan dan kuning
Roda kemudi yang dipegang dengan cengkeraman
Sekencang roll-up di bibirnya
Mereka bahkan tidak pernah menatap saya
Saat dia bermimpi di ladang
s#mentara bayinya mengambil makanannya
Dan saya mensurvei adegan itu saat saya menyusul
Jalan adalah bola tali yang mereka terurai
Looping kata -kata untuk cerita yang mereka bepergian
Yah, aku melihatnya mengepal rahangnya
Saat kaki kirinya menyentuh lantai
Dan jalannya curam dan dia mengganti perlengkapan
Dan dia melirik gadis dan anaknya
Dan dia berbalik dari jendela dan tersenyum
Dan dia meraba rambut di belakang telinganya
Dan semua yang mereka miliki ada di truk itu
Dan saya memikirkan kami dan berharap mereka beruntung
Melanjutkan perjalanan yang mereka mulai
Itu seperti milikmu dan milikku
Sedikit lebih jauh ke masa lalu
Panci dan wajan di dalam van dengan bayi laki -laki
Jalan adalah bola tali yang mereka terurai
Looping kata -kata untuk cerita yang mereka bepergian
Sekarang, bahkan burung liar terkadang perlu
Remah -remah taman dengan biji pagar tanaman mereka
Mengawasi rubah, sarang dan musang
Satu hal yang tidak bisa ditunjukkan oleh pengukur bahan bakar
Seberapa jauh mimpi zaman baru Anda akan pergi
Kebebasan lebih dari sekadar harga diesel
Dan saya tidak bisa menahan diri untuk tidak bertanya -tanya
Saat langit hitam dengan guntur
Hujan dan angin yang tak henti -hentinya dan kabut beku
Adalah aroma kebebasan semanis itu
Pakaian Jenuh Asap Kayu
Drum bongo berkulit kendur dan anjing bau bau
Musim semi datang dengan celandine
Dan gigi bayi dan dia berhenti menangis
Dan hidup adalah perjalanan menuruni bukit yang netral
Seolah -olah beruntung Anda dibayar
Saat pertama Anda menjual sesuatu yang telah Anda buat
Ada malam hangat pertama saat Anda tidur di luar
Di kaca spion saya, truk mereka tumbuh kecil
Sampai tidak ada tanda -tanda mereka tetap ada
Dan rute saya adalah rumah arah yang jelas
Jalan adalah bola tali yang mereka terurai
Looping kata -kata untuk cerita yang mereka bepergian
Dan jalan itu adalah bola tali yang mereka terurai
Looping kata -kata untuk cerita yang mereka bepergian
