Find The River by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
Hey now, little speedyhead
The read on the speed-meter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve
Don't be shy, your just deserts
Is only just light years to go
Me, my thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon
I have got to leave to find my way
Watch the road and memorize
This life that passed before my eyes
And nothing is going my way
The ocean is the river's goal
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go
I have got to find the river
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away
Leave the road and memorize
This life that passed before my eyes
And nothing is going my way
There's no one left to take the lead
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean
The river to the ocean goes
A fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
Of ginger, lemon, indigo
Coriander stem and rose of hay
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naiveté
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way

Find The River (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Oye, pequeña cabecita veloz
La lectura del velocímetro dice
Tienes que ir a trabajar a la ciudad
Donde la gente se ahoga y la gente sirve
No seas tímido, tu merecido
Está a solo años luz de distancia
Yo, mis pensamientos están sembrados de flores
Tormenta oceánica, luna de arrayán
Tengo que irme para encontrar mi camino
Observa el camino y memoriza
Esta vida que pasó ante mis ojos
Y nada va a mi manera
El océano es la meta del río
Una necesidad de irse el agua sabe
Estamos más cerca ahora que a años luz de distancia
Tengo que encontrar el río
Bergamota y vetiver
Corren por mi cabeza y se desvanecen
Deja el camino y memoriza
Esta vida que pasó ante mis ojos
Y nada va a mi manera
No queda nadie para tomar la iniciativa
Pero te lo digo y puedes ver
Estamos más cerca ahora que a años luz de distancia
Recoge aquí y persigue el viaje
El río desemboca en la marea
Cae en el océano
El río va al océano
Una fortuna para la resaca
Nada de esto va a mi manera
No queda nada que tirar
De jengibre, limón, índigo
Tallo de cilantro y rosa de heno
La fuerza y el coraje anulan
Los ojos privilegiados y cansados
De la ingenuidad de la búsqueda del poeta del río
Recoge aquí y persigue el viaje
El río desemboca en la marea
Todo esto viene a tu manera
