Built To Last by Heartland
Lyrics & Translation
English
I made a trip back to my hometown last week
For my grandparent's 50 year anniversary
It was black leather wingtips, and big bouffant hair
Your typical senior affair
They were cutting a rug to a Glen Miller tune
When someone stood up and tapped a glass with a spoon
It was old Eddie Vicker's, granddaddy's best man
And his very best friend to this day
And his eyes grew misty as he raised his champagne
He said, here's to the makers of things built to last
Like church bells and bridges, and baseball on grass
Like Ferguson tractors and Lucchese boots
My daddy's old tools I still use
The pledge of allegiance, the stars and the stripes
The words in the Bible, the sun in the sky
And here's to the twinkle in old married eyes
Still there after fifty years past
Here's to the makers of things built to last
We live in a world now of plastic and glue
Disposable honor, replaceable truth
If a part breaks, why fix it?
Man, what's the use
It costs less to buy it brand new
Oh, but lately I've looked in the eyes of my wife
And I see there what matters the most in this life
And I have decided I'm taking a stand
To stay on that fifty year plan
Inspired by the words of a very wise man
He said, here's to the makers of things built to last
Like church bells and bridges, and baseball on grass
Like Ferguson tractors and Lucchese boots
My daddy's old tools I still use
The pledge of allegiance, the stars and the stripes
The words in the Bible, the sun in the sky
And here's to the twinkle in old married eyes
Still there after fifty years past
Here's to the makers of things built to last
Here's to the makers of things built to last

Built To Last (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hice un viaje de regreso a mi ciudad natal la semana pasada
Para el 50 aniversario de mis abuelos
Había zapatos de cuero negro con puntera, y grandes peinados abultados
Un típico evento para mayores
Estaban bailando al ritmo de una melodía de Glen Miller
Cuando alguien se levantó y golpeó un vaso con una cuchara
Era el viejo Eddie Vicker, el padrino de boda del abuelo
Y su mejor amigo hasta el día de hoy
Y sus ojos se empañaron mientras levantaba su champán
Dijo, brindo por los creadores de cosas hechas para durar
Como campanas de iglesia y puentes, y béisbol en el césped
Como tractores Ferguson y botas Lucchese
Las viejas herramientas de mi papá que todavía uso
El juramento a la bandera, las estrellas y las barras
Las palabras de la Biblia, el sol en el cielo
Y brindo por el brillo en los ojos de los viejos casados
Todavía allí después de cincuenta años
Brindo por los creadores de cosas hechas para durar
Ahora vivimos en un mundo de plástico y pegamento
Honor desechable, verdad reemplazable
Si una pieza se rompe, ¿por qué arreglarla?
Hombre, ¿de qué sirve?
Cuesta menos comprarlo nuevo
Oh, pero últimamente he mirado a los ojos de mi esposa
Y veo allí lo que más importa en esta vida
Y he decidido que voy a tomar una postura
Para seguir con ese plan de cincuenta años
Inspirado por las palabras de un hombre muy sabio
Dijo, brindo por los creadores de cosas hechas para durar
Como campanas de iglesia y puentes, y béisbol en el césped
Como tractores Ferguson y botas Lucchese
Las viejas herramientas de mi papá que todavía uso
El juramento a la bandera, las estrellas y las barras
Las palabras de la Biblia, el sol en el cielo
Y brindo por el brillo en los ojos de los viejos casados
Todavía allí después de cincuenta años
Brindo por los creadores de cosas hechas para durar
Brindo por los creadores de cosas hechas para durar
