Rod on the water

Μια εξαιρετικά μεγάλη στιγμή. Ήρθε η ώρα να διασκευάσουμε το πολυτραγουδισμένο και διάσημο τραγούδι "Smoke on the water" των θρυλικών Deep Purple. Ένα τραγούδι γνωστό σ' όλο τον κόσμο! Ελπίζουμε το δικό μας "Rod on the water" να κλέψει έστω λίγη από τη φήμη του αυθεντικού, με την αξία του και μόνο φυσικά! (Μια μικρή επεξήγηση:rod=σταδία, transit=ταχύμετρο, contours=ισοϋψείς, back-filling=επιχωμάτωση, transporting earth= κίνηση γαιών, inclination=κλίση)

Rod on the water
------------------
(Lyrics: Tsentemeidis Nikos)

We all came out to measure
on a field across the lake
to take some angles with the transit
the battery was low
some other engineers
were at the best place around
but some stupid with a tractor
destroyed the points to the ground
rod on the water, a cloud in the sky

They burned down the rodman's car
it died with an awful sound
the map we need was in that purple car
now we can't avow the ground
when it all was over
we had to find another map
but this time the path was out
it seemed that we would lose our way
rod on the water, a cloud in the sky

We put the contours on the ground relief
we have to draw 'em with a graphic scale
but inclination had to be normalized
back-filling's needed there
with the bruckner diagram computing were made
transporting earth's to do
no matter how much we have lost
i won't forget the whole work
rod on the water, a cloud in the sky
