How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
blood from a stone, water from wine.
Born under an ill-placed sign.
a stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time.
this flyer is out of line.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
the story of my life in trying times.
just add water, stir in lime.
how the west was won and where it got us.
ahhhh.
the canary got trapped in the uranium mine.
I struck bad luck, now the bird has died.
a marker to mark where my tears run dry
at the crossing of blessed and alkaline.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
the story of my life in trying times.
just add water, stir in lime.
how the west was won and where it got us.
ahhhh.
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
now I can't see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time/space, godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
and watch the decline from a hazy distance.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
the story of my life in trying times.
just add water, stir in lime.
how the west was won and where it got us.
ahhhh

How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us (traducción LyricVerse Team)
sangre de una piedra, agua de vino.
Nacido bajo un signo mal ubicado.
un golpe de mala suerte, lugar equivocado, momento equivocado.
este folleto está fuera de lugar.
La historia es triste, contada muchas veces.
la historia de mi vida en tiempos difíciles.
solo agrega agua, revuelve con lima.
cómo se ganó el oeste y a dónde nos llevó.
ahhhh.
el canario quedó atrapado en la mina de uranio.
Tuve mala suerte, ahora el pájaro ha muerto.
un marcador para señalar donde mis lágrimas se secan
en el cruce de bendito y alcalino.
La historia es triste, contada muchas veces.
la historia de mi vida en tiempos difíciles.
solo agrega agua, revuelve con lima.
cómo se ganó el oeste y a dónde nos llevó.
ahhhh.
No usé gafas porque pensé que podría llover.
ahora no puedo ver nada.
Cometí un error, lo atribuí al diseño.
Rompí el tiempo/espacio, sin dios y seco.
Apunté mi nariz a la estrella del norte,
y observo el declive desde una distancia borrosa.
La historia es triste, contada muchas veces.
la historia de mi vida en tiempos difíciles.
solo agrega agua, revuelve con lima.
cómo se ganó el oeste y a dónde nos llevó.
ahhhh
