Original text and translations
English text
I met an engine on the road,
All hot and heavy Hearted,
And this is what he said to me
As up the hill he started:
“I think I can,
I think I can,
I think I can,
I think I can
I think I can,
I think, I think I can,
At any rate I’ll try it.”
He reached the top and looking back
To where I stood and doubted,
He started on the downward track
And this is what he shouted:
“I said I could,
I said I could,
I said I could,
I said I could,
I said I could,
I said, I said I could,
My friend, you might have known it!”
