Текст песни Fire In The Mine (Stompin' Tom Connors) с переводом

There was grief among the people of that northern Timmins town

When someone hollered fire, the mine is burnin' down

Then rushing to the surface came those McIntyre men

Then they ready and prepare to let the firefighters in

There’s a fire way down in the mine

It was February second in the year of sixty five

A miner’s life was taken in the carbon monoxide

The gas had been created, way down a mile or so

In the McIntyre hellfire six thousand feet below

There’s a fire way down in the mine

The call went through the northland

For men to fight the flame

From Sudbury to Noranda and from everywhere they came

With oxygen and gas masks, they worked for a month of days

In a 150 degrees of heat, they fought that gassy blaze

There’s a fire way down in the mine

The deadly gas kept rising, in the McIntyre high

Till it seeped through the walls and the fire doors

To the Hollinger mine nearby

For nearly a thousand miners now, there was no work below

The word came from the office, boys we have to let you go

There’s a fire way down in the mine

The smiles of hope now faded, many faces wore a frown

Must we see our children hungry, must we have to leave the town

Will they have to close the mines up

Bringing trouble strife and woe

Or will they beat the gassy hellfire six thousand feet below

There’s a fire way down in the mine

Then at last it was all over, they had sealed the fire in

As it died they called the miners, slowly back to work again

Some may say that it was nothing, and the world may pass it by

But the people up in Timmins, will always hear that awful cry

There’s a fire way down in the mine

There’s a fire way down in the mine

There’s a fire way down in the mine
