R.E.M. Lyrics
"Photograph"
(feat. Natalie Merchant)
I found this photograph
Underneath broken picture glass
Tender face of black and white
Beautiful, a haunting sight
Looked into an angel's smile
Captivated all the while
From her hair and clothes she wore
I'd have placed her in between the wars
Was she willing when she sat
And posed a pretty photograph
To save her flowering and fair
For days to come
For days to share
A big smile for the camera
How did she know
The moment could be lost forever
Forever more
I found this photograph
In stacks between the old joist walls
In a place where time is lost
Lost behind where all things fall
Broken books and calendars
Letters script in careful hand
The music to a standard tune by
Some forgotten big brass band
From the thresh hold what's to see
Of our brave new century
Television's just a dream
Of radio and silver screen
A big smile for the camera
How did she know
The moment could be lost forever
Forever more
Was her childhood filled with rhyme
Or stolen books of passion crimes?
Was she innocent or blind
To the cruelty of her time?
Was she fearful in her day?
Was she hopeful? Did she pray?
Were there skeletons inside
Family secrets sworn to hide?
Did she feel the heat that stirs
The fall from grace of wayward girls?
Was she tempted to pretend
In love and laughter until the end?

"Fotografía"
(feat. Natalie Merchant)
Encontré esta fotografía
Debajo de un cristal roto
Rostro tierno en blanco y negro
Hermosa, una visión inquietante
Miré la sonrisa de un ángel
Cautivado todo el tiempo
Por su cabello y la ropa que vestía
La habría situado entre las guerras
¿Estaba dispuesta cuando se sentó
Y posó para una bonita fotografía?
Para salvar su florecimiento y belleza
Para los días venideros
Para los días para compartir
Una gran sonrisa para la cámara
¿Cómo iba a saber ella
Que el momento podría perderse para siempre?
Para siempre jamás
Encontré esta fotografía
En pilas entre las viejas paredes de vigas
En un lugar donde el tiempo se pierde
Perdido detrás de donde caen todas las cosas
Libros rotos y calendarios
Cartas escritas con mano cuidadosa
La música de una melodía estándar de
Alguna banda de música olvidada
Desde el umbral, ¿qué se puede ver?
De nuestro valiente nuevo siglo
La televisión es solo un sueño
De la radio y la pantalla de plata
Una gran sonrisa para la cámara
¿Cómo iba a saber ella
Que el momento podría perderse para siempre?
Para siempre jamás
¿Estuvo su infancia llena de rimas?
¿O libros robados de crímenes pasionales?
¿Era inocente o ciega
A la crueldad de su tiempo?
¿Tenía miedo en su día?
¿Tenía esperanza? ¿Rezaba?
¿Había esqueletos dentro?
¿Secretos familiares jurados a ocultar?
¿Sintió el calor que agita
La caída en desgracia de las chicas rebeldes?
¿Fue tentada a fingir
En amor y risas hasta el final?
