Plateau by Nirvana
Lyrics & Translation
English
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop, then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses
Wouldn't help you if they could

Spanish translation of Plateau by Nirvana
Plateau* (original Nirvana)
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop, then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work, it was fun
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses
Wouldn't help you if they could
Plateau (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Muchas manos han escalado la gran y vieja cara de la meseta
Algunas pertenecen a extraños, y otras a gente que conoces
Fantasmas sagrados y presentadores de talk shows están plantados en la arena
Para embellecer las faldas de las montañas, y estrechar las muchas manos
Nada en la cima salvo un cubo y un trapeador
Y un libro ilustrado sobre pájaros
Ves mucho allá arriba pero no tengas miedo
¿Quién necesita acción cuando tienes palabras?
Cuando hayas terminado con el trapeador, entonces puedes parar
Y mira lo que has hecho
La meseta está limpia, no se ve suciedad
Y el trabajo, fue divertido
Nada en la cima salvo un cubo y un trapeador
Y un libro ilustrado sobre pájaros
Ves mucho allá arriba pero no tengas miedo
¿Quién necesita acción cuando tienes palabras?
Muchas manos comenzaron a buscar la siguiente meseta
Algunos dicen que fue Groenlandia, y otros dicen México
Otros decidieron que no estaba en ningún lugar excepto donde ellos estaban
Pero todo eso eran solo conjeturas
No te ayudarían si pudieran
