New Test Leper by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
I can't say that I love Jesus
that would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observations
and I'm quoting them today.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
what a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs all gone astray?
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
"You are lost and disillusioned!"
what an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesn't flatter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
but what an ugly thing to see.
"I am not an animal"
subtitled under the screen.
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

New Test Leper (traducción LyricVerse Team)
No puedo decir que amo a Jesús
eso sería una afirmación vacía.
Él sí hizo algunas observaciones
y las estoy citando hoy.
"No juzguéis, para que no seáis juzgados."
qué hermoso estribillo.
La audiencia del estudio no está de acuerdo.
¿Se han descarriado todas sus ovejas?
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
"¡Estás perdido y desilusionado!"
qué cosa tan horrible de decir.
Sé que este programa no halaga.
No significa nada para mí.
Pensé que podría ayudarles a entender
pero qué cosa tan fea de ver.
"No soy un animal"
subtitulado bajo la pantalla.
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
Cuando intenté contar mi historia
Me cortaron para tomar un descanso.
Me senté en silencio durante 5 comerciales
No me quedaba nada que decir
El presentador del programa de entrevistas tenía fichas
Todo organizado y en blanco
Los otros invitados estaban asustados y endurecidos
Qué triste desfile.
Qué triste desfile
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
Llámame leproso
