Wendell Gee by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
That's when Wendell Gee
Takes a tug upon the string
That held the line of trees
Behind the house he lived in
He was reared to give respect
But somewhere down the line he chose
To whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try and hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed it sagged
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
If the wind were colors
And if the air could speak
Then whistle as the wind blows
And whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

That's when Wendell Gee
Takes a tug upon the string
That held the line of trees
Behind the house he lived in
He was reared to give respect
But somewhere down the line he chose
To whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try and hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed it sagged
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
And listen as the wind blows through the leaves
If the wind were colors
And if the air could speak
Then whistle as the wind blows
And whistle as the wind blows through the leaves
Wendell Gee (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Ahí es cuando Wendell Gee
Tira de la cuerda
Que sujetaba la hilera de árboles
Detrás de la casa donde vivía
Fue criado para dar respeto
Pero en algún momento eligió
Silbar mientras el viento sopla
Y escuchar cómo el viento sopla entre las hojas
Tuvo un sueño una noche
Que el árbol había perdido su centro
Así que construyó un tronco de malla de gallinero
Para intentar sostenerlo
Pero el alambre, el alambre se volvió piel de lagarto
Y cuando lo escaló, se hundió
Ni siquiera hubo tiempo para decir
Adiós a Wendell Gee
Así que silba mientras el viento sopla
Y escucha cómo el viento sopla entre las hojas
Ni siquiera hubo tiempo para decir
Adiós a Wendell Gee
Así que silba mientras el viento sopla
Y escucha cómo el viento sopla entre las hojas
Si el viento fuera colores
Y si el aire pudiera hablar
Entonces silba mientras el viento sopla
Y silba mientras el viento sopla entre las hojas
