The Ascent Of Man by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
So hesitation pulled me back
I'm stronger when I don't attract
In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack
And I am getting confused
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe
As you pan for ore
In the desert, floored
I say to you
That I could never imagine a place so beautiful
I could never steal your gold away.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
I came across like a battering ram
I try to float like a telegram sam
I'm trying to divine you.)
My book is called "The Ascent Of Man"
I marked your chapter with a catamaran
The accent's off
But I am what I am
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
I came across like a battering ram
I try to float like a telegram sam
I'm trying to divine you.)
I looked for you, it's my last grandstand
A motorscootered goat legged pan
Figure eighting in quicksand ...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
I try to float like a telegram sam
I came across like a battering ram
I'm trying to divine you.)
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
I try to float like a telegram sam
I came across like a battering ram
I'm trying to divine you.)
So hesitation pulled me back
I'm so in love I don't attract
And with my hands tied I won't crack
('Cause in my mind I called you back.)

The Ascent Of Man (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Así que la duda me detuvo
Soy más fuerte cuando no atraigo
En tus ojos soy un cordero sin cuernos
Y me estoy confundiendo
Soy un cactus intentando ser una canoa
Mientras buscas oro
En el desierto, abatido
Te digo
Que nunca podría imaginar un lugar tan hermoso
Nunca podría robar tu oro.
Sí sí sí sí sí sí...
(Intento caminar como un gran golpe
Parecí un ariete
Intento flotar como un telegrama sam
Intento adivinarte.)
Mi libro se llama "El Ascenso del Hombre"
Marqué tu capítulo con un catamarán
El acento está mal
Pero soy lo que soy
Sí sí sí sí sí sí...
(Intento caminar como un gran golpe
Parecí un ariete
Intento flotar como un telegrama sam
Intento adivinarte.)
Te busqué, es mi última tribuna
Un pan con patas de cabra en moto
Haciendo ochos en arenas movedizas...
Sí sí sí sí sí sí...
(Intento caminar como un gran golpe
Intento flotar como un telegrama sam
Parecí un ariete
Intento adivinarte.)
(Intento caminar como un gran golpe
Intento flotar como un telegrama sam
Parecí un ariete
Intento adivinarte.)
Así que la duda me detuvo
Estoy tan enamorado que no atraigo
Y con las manos atadas no me romperé
(Porque en mi mente te llamé de vuelta.)
