Текст песни As Close To Flying (Four Bitchin' Babes) с переводом

Her arms are outstretched in a dancer’s pose

Her gaze is sure and steady now

She has pointed her toes

The blades of her skates gleam like platinum

This photo was snapped in '36

Her moment in the sun

Her medals and trophies and ribbons on display

With handmade beaded outfits that were the fashion of her day

She skated 'round the world

She put on quite a show

She came as close to flying

As one could ever know

The camera caught them

In mid-air in 1961

Here they look invincible

So full of life and fun

So young and brave and hopeful

As they take that mighty leap

Into the unforgiving void

So silent and so deep

The world was shocked and saddened

By the unexpected fall

But their smiles are framed forever here

On this museum wall

They skated 'round the world

They put on quite a show

They came as close to flying

As two could ever know

A hundred yards away on the Broadmoor rink

A tiny blur of a skater pushes herself to the brink

Of exhaustion and delirium as she gave it one more try

And for one fleeting moment she can fly

Oh look, she can fly

Now it’s nighttime in New York

I’m on the rink in Central Park

There are no Olympians

Skating in the dark

But 'round and 'round we go

To a Gershwin tune

Oh, it feels so good to be gliding here

Beneath a winter moon

I wish that I could jump

I wish that I could spin

I wish that I could always stay

In this mood I’m in

I am skating 'round the rink

I am racing with the snow

This is as close to flying

As I have come to know

I am skating 'round the rink

I am racing with the snow

This is as close to flying

As I have come to know

As close to flying

As close to flying

This is as close to flying
