Текст песни The Man Who Shook the World (Chuck Mead) с переводом

When I first heard

Those magic words

I was lost for good

And rock and roll

Never swallowed my soul

Like they said it would

And now at last

I’m gonna pass on

This wisdom pearl

So shake the hand

That shook the hand

Of the man who shook the world

Well I’m telling you

What a chosen few

Have come to know

And it seemed to me

It was given to me

Some years ago

I got so near

I could almost hear

That big wheel whirl

So shake the hand

That shook the hand

Of the man who shook the world

Well shake the hand

That shook the hand

That made the earth stand still

I ain’t the one

But you can carry it on

And do with it what you will

It’s powerful stuff

enough

To make your neck hair curl

So shake the hand

That shook the hand

Of the man who shook the world

Well shake the hand

That shook the hand

That made the earth stand still

I ain’t the one

But you can carry it on

And do with it what you will

Now there are architects

Statues too

There’re kings and queens

That had a dream

And told the truth

They made you think twice

And had some good advice

For every man, woman, boy, and girl

So shake the hand

That shook the hand

Of the man who shook the world

Well shake the hand

That shook the hand

That made the earth stand still

I ain’t the one

But you can carry it on

And do with it what you will

It’s powerful stuff

enough

To make your neck hair curl

So shake the hand

That shook the hand

Of the man who shook the world
