Old Man Kensey by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
Old man Kensey wants to be a sign painter
First he's got to learn to read
He's gonna be a clown on TV
Flexes his elbow taut and free
(That's my folly) I believe
Drink up the lake, Kensey's awake
(If that's my folly) that's my mistake
Old man Kensey wants to be a goalie
First he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to be signed and dropped off
(That's my folly) Kensey's going far
John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head
(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go
Old man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher
First he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to be signed, ransom, greed
(If that's my folly) I believe
Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed
(If that's my folly) that's my mistake
Kensey's awake, stand on your head
(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go
Drink up the lake, stand on your head
(If that's my folly) I'm ready to go

Old Man Kensey (traducción LyricVerse Team)
El viejo Kensey quiere ser pintor de letreros
Primero tiene que aprender a leer
Va a ser un payaso en la televisión
Flexiona su codo tenso y libre
(Esa es mi locura) Yo creo
Bebe el lago, Kensey está despierto
(Si esa es mi locura) ese es mi error
El viejo Kensey quiere ser portero
Primero tiene que aprender a contar
Va a ser un payaso en una montura de circo
Cartas para firmar y entregar
(Esa es mi locura) Kensey va lejos
John, Bill y Ed, pónganse de cabeza
(Si esa es mi locura) estoy listo para irme
El viejo Kensey quiere ser un perrero
Primero tiene que aprender a pararse
Va a ser un payaso en una banda de música
Cartas para firmar, rescate, codicia
(Si esa es mi locura) Yo creo
Bebe el lago, John, Bill y Ed
(Si esa es mi locura) ese es mi error
Kensey está despierto, pónganse de cabeza
(Si esa es mi locura) estoy listo para irme
Bebe el lago, pónganse de cabeza
(Si esa es mi locura) estoy listo para irme
