- description: Julian Tuwim- Lokomotywa. Czytana przez przyjaciół z krajów bliskich i dalekich. Thank you guys for wonderful time together in Turin and the best goodbye party ever:) Translation by http://paczemoj.blogspot.com 0:02 [Luis] Stands at the station: a locomotive, Heavy, humungous, and sweating-as-if— A succulent olive. 0:11 [Mauro] It stands and it chugs, and shakes like a jelly, As fire explodes from its overheated belly: 0:19 [Juan Sebastián] Kaboom - how it screams! Boom - how it sizzles! Puff - how it steams! Uff - how it fizzles! 0:26 [María] Now hardly a gasp, barely it breathes, Yet still-more coal the stoker into it feeds. 0:34 [Francesco] The cars? Already connected and sealed, Big and heavy, made of iron or steel, 0:42 [Alison] And packed into each: people—as space allows, And in that one a horse, in this one a cow, 0:57 [Gauthier] The third is devoted entirely to fatties, Sitting and eating pork sausage and patties. 1:05 [Frances] And the fourth is filled with ripe bananas, And in the fifth are six pianos, 1:14 [David] In the sixth, a cannon rests! How huge it seems! Under every wheel a strong steel beam! 1:22 [Cristina] In the seventh, oak tables and chairs, In the eighth an elephant, two giraffes and a bear, 1:34 [Francesca] In the ninth—plump hogs ready to be ate, In the tenth—trunks, chests, cases and crates, 1:45 [Atanas] And of these cars, there are forty or more, So that even I don’t know what each one stores. 1:59 [Miro] But I know this: if one thousand athletes, Each having consumed a thousand pieces of meat, 2:08 [Tal] Strained until their tendons frayed, Still, they couldn’t lift it all—that’s how much it weighs! Suddenly – a whistle! 2:18 [Shani] Suddenly – a toot! Steam – kaboom! Wheels – they’re on-the-move! 2:25 [Yael] First s l o w like a turtle drowsy she budged mechanical drudge along the tracks she nudged half-sleeping. 2:36 [Or] Jerk go the cars, she labours to pull them, Wheeled revolutions, rotations, swelling rpm, 2:47 [Louis] Acceleration—and she’s outpacing, Rumbles and roars, thumping, she’s racing! 3:04 [barman] To somewhere? To somewhere! To somewhere ahead! Just like'a? Just like’a? Just like a thoroughbred! 3:12 [Edu] Through forests, through tunnels, through mountains she climbs, 3:24 [Raúl] And hurries, and hurries, to make it on time, Rocking and smacking and beating like so: Beat so so, beat so so, beat so so, beat so so, 3:31 [Matteo] So smooth-like and lightly, simply spinning her wheels, More like a rubber ball than steel, 3:41 [Pedro] Less heavy machine, breathless and panting, Than joyful, a toy, a trifle made of tin. 3:51 [Fernando] But how does it why does it from where does it come? And what is it who is it that pulls it along? 3:59 [Polish girls] As it speeds and it growls and it exhales explosions? The answer, of course: steam sets it in motion, Steam from the boiler that powers the pistons, which transfer that force to the wheels and assist in the roll and the pull and the train’s now in full-swing, for so long as the steam keeps those pistons a’pumping. And the wheels, they beat just like so: Beat so so, beat so so, beat so so, beat so so!…
