Текст песни: Sinking Of The Titanic + перевод

It was on the tent' of April, on a sunny afternoon

The Titanic left South Hamilton, each one was happy as bride and groom

No one thought of danger or what their fate may be

Until a gruesome iceberg caused fifteen hundred to perish in the sea

It was early Monday morning, just about the break of day

Captain Smith called for help from the Carpathia, and it was many miles away

Everyone was calm and solemn, asked each other what the trouble may be

Not thinking that death was lurking, way out upon that Northern Sea

The Carpathia received the wireless: «S.O.S. In distress

Come at once, we are sinking. Make no delay and do your best

Get your lifeboats all in readiness, 'cause we’re going down very fast

We have saved the women and the children, and try and hold out to the last»

You know, at last they called all the passengers, told them to hurry to the deck

Then they realized that the mighty Titanic was an awful fatal wreck

They lowered the lifeboats, one by one, taking women, children from the start

The poor men, they were left to care for themselves, but they sure played a

hero’s part

You know, they stood out on that sinkin' deck, and they was all in great despair

You know, accidents may happen most any time, and we know not when and where

The music played as they went down, on that dark blue sea

And you could hear the sound, that familiar hymn, singin' «Nearer My God To

Thee»

They say, «Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer to Thee

So, like a wanderer

As the sun goes down

Darkness be over me"

Just then the Titanic went down
