The Allegheny Sunshine Crew / El Allegheny Sol Tripulación

Allegheny River, City of Emlenton, Pennsylvania  /  Río Allegheny, Ciudad de Emlenton, Pensilvania

An old white van
The paint is cracked
Bright yellow circle
Drawn across the back
Traveling green hilltops
Far and wide
Rocking across the countryside

Allegheny
Sunshine Crew
Leaving rainbow trails
On the road
Hauling our love to you

Homes, parks and churches
Shelters and schools
Building, repairing
Strong shoulders for sharing
With our hearts, hands and tools
And a message of hope
To help you live, thrive and cope
With whatever life is throwing at you

Allegheny
Sunshine Crew
Hammers and nails
Saws, buckets and pails
And smiles
Without fail

And every night
We find an open bed
A bit of meat
A loaf of bread
Around a warm and open table
Like that room inside a stable
In dusty Bethlehem
Happy with whatever folks are able
To provide to new found friends

Allgheny
Sunshine Crew
Singing tunes
Around a fire
By the light of the moon
Always exhausted
But never tired

And once their work is done
Hands are shook
Hugs for everyone
Tears, goodbyes and smiles
Left behind
The old van rolls by some new miles
To seek and find
Where the need is most true
And if fate be so kind
Perhaps it could be you
Paid a visit
By the Allegheny the Sunshine Crew



Una vieja camioneta blanca
La pintura está agrietada
Brillante círculo amarillo
Dibujado en la espalda
Viajando colinas verdes
Por todas partes
Mecedora por el campo

Allegheny
Sol Tripulación
Dejando rastros del arco iris
En el camino
Acarreo de nuestro amor para usted

Casas, parques e iglesias
Refugios y escuelas
Construcción, reparación
Hombros fuertes para compartir
Con nuestros corazones, manos y herramientas
Y un mensaje de esperanza
Para ayudarte a vivir, prosperar y hacer frente
Con lo que la vida está tirando de ti

Allegheny
Sol Tripulación
Martillos y clavos
Sierras, cubos y cubos
Y sonrisas
Sin fallar

Y todas las noches
Encontramos una cama abierta
Un poco de carne
Una barra de pan
Alrededor de una mesa caliente y abierto
Al igual que la habitación dentro de un establo
En polvorienta Bethlehem
Feliz con lo que la gente es capaz de
Para proporcionar al recién descubierta amigos

Allgheny
Sol Tripulación
Cantando canciones
Alrededor de un incendio
Por la luz de la luna
Siempre agotado
Pero no se cansaba

Y una vez que se lleva a cabo su trabajo
Las manos se estrecharon
Abrazos para todos
Lágrimas, despedidas y sonrisas
Dejado atrás
Los viejos van rollos de algunos nuevos milla
Para buscar y encontrar
Cuando la necesidad es más verdadera
Y si el destino sea tan amable
Tal vez podría ser usted
Visitó

Por el Allegheny el Tripulación  Sol

  1. Well that's a very jolly poem full of fun and hope. I like it. It's also more upbeat than your introspective poems but maintains clever wordplay. What is Allegheny?
