Текст песни: Sorrow On the Rails + перевод

The air is cold and biting

The sky is bleak and white

A prison train goes travelling

Swiftly through the night

Fourty men in bondage

Off to meet their fate

They’re wrongfully convicted

But now it seems it’s much too late!

In Siberia

There’s sorrow on the rails

These prisoners have done no wrong

But now they’re off to jail

Curse the wicked man

Who led the cruel attack

Their train has left the station but

It’s never coming back

A crooked politician

Was soon to be exposed

By several men who knew the truth

When trouble had arose

Furious and panicked

He came up with a lie

He pulled some strings and banished them

And sent these poor men off to die

In Siberia

There’s sorrow on the rails

These prisoners have done no wrong

But now they’re off to jail

Curse the wicked man

Who led the cruel attack

Their train has left the station but

It’s never coming…

Wait!

There may be a gleam of hope

As one of the prisoners has loosened up his rope

Freed from his bonds, he sneaks down front

Up to the engine with a man to confront

Slow and soft are this man’s steps

As he walks with his rope plotting out what’s next

He enters the cab slowly from the rear

Then he binds and gags the engineer

In Siberia

There’s triumph on the rails

These blameless men have freed themselves

From those who would assail

Now they’re free at last

And racing down the track

They’re moving ever forward

And they’re never going — Hey!

Never going back
