Текст песни The Song Spinners - Comin' In On A Wing And A Prayer

Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer
Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer
With our one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer

What a show, what a fight
Boys, we really hit our target for tonight
How we sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there's our field over there
With our one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer

Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer
Comin 'in on a wing and a prayer
With our full crew on board
And our trust in the Lord
We're comin 'in on a wing and a prayer

Our people were very airy:
The plane did not return to us from the bombing at night.
Radio operators scrabbled on the air, barely finding a wave,
And at five minutes to four we heard the words:

"We fly, hobbling in the darkness,
We crawl on the last wing.
The tank is broken, the tail is on fire and the car is flying
On parole and on one wing ... "

Well, business! It was night!
Anti-aircraft guns fired at us from every corner,
Enemy flocks flew in the darkness -
"Messerschmitts", eagle on eagle.
Messerschmitt was shot down by us
And our "chick" is flying
On parole and on one wing

Well, business! It was night!
We bombed their objects to the ground.
We left, hobbling in the darkness,
We fly up to our native land.
The whole team is safe and the car came
On parole and on one wing
