Текст песни More Than Money (Seth Lakeman) с переводом

A breaker’s life is solid, 'til the fire burns away

Every day is danger’s way of sharpening up the blade

Old tunnels play those tricks on you

Heed no hopeless tale

Keep your hand upon the hammer

And your eye upon the scale

With all this trouble ended now

These men will have their rights

After many years of bondage

Digging days and digging nights

This honest weight of labour

Bold breakers never fail

Keep your hand upon the hammer

And your eye upon the scale

More than money can weigh you down

More than money can dig new ground

Let no union man be weakened

By the papers' false reports

You can’t read or write when you work all night

And you fight for freedom’s cause

Raise the rhythm, drive the drill in

Ride that rusty nail

Keep your hand upon the hammer

And your eye upon the scale

You’ve been docked and flogged and shocked my boys

You’ve been loading two-to-one

Spilling carts and falling sparks

They’re slicing up your lungs

Overalls and cans for rockers

In shanties sleep on rails

Keep your hand upon the hammer

And your eye upon the scale

Bear a lonely witness to these images of time

Meat and muscle, trade and hustle

Reap those dirty rhymes

No quick return as daylight burns

These tears of sweat prevail

Keep your hand upon the hammer

And your eye upon the scale
