Towers Of London by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Towers of London
when they had built you
did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London
when they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by
rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
for the bridge that doesn't go
in the direction of Dublin
And I've seen it in a painting
and I've seen it in engraving
and I've seen it in their faces
clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
Towers of London
la la Londinium.

did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London

Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high

And I've seen it in a painting

Towers Of London (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Torres de Londres
cuando te construyeron
¿vigilaste a los hombres que cayeron?
Torres de Londres
cuando te construyeron
La joya de Victoria encontrada en el infierno de alguien
Aceras de oro que llevan al subsuelo
Guardias Granaderos paseando a damas bonitas
la niebla es el sudor de los peones que nunca nunca golpean
clavos en los rieles hacia su propio cielo
Puentes de músculos que se extienden tan largos y altos
mercaderes de Stepney pasando junto a damas bonitas
la lluvia son las lágrimas de los peones que nunca nunca lloran
por el puente que no va
en dirección a Dublín
Y lo he visto en una pintura
y lo he visto en un grabado
y lo he visto en sus caras
claro como las líneas de tiza de los niños en el pavimento
Torres de Londres
la la Londinium.
