What's The Frequency, Kenneth? by R.E.M.
Lyrics & Translation
English
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

What's The Frequency, Kenneth? (traducción LyricVerse Team)
"¿Cuál es la frecuencia, Kenneth?" es tu Benzedrina, uh-huh
Estaba con muerte cerebral, bloqueado, entumecido, sin estar al día
Pensé que te había encasillado como el sueño de un idiota
Visión de túnel desde la pantalla del forastero
Nunca entendí la frecuencia, uh-huh
Llevabas nuestras expectativas como una armadura, uh-huh
Había estudiado tus dibujos animados, radio, música, televisión, películas, revistas
Richard dijo: "Retirarse con asco no es lo mismo que apatía"
Una sonrisa como la del dibujo animado, ojo por ojo
Dijiste que la ironía eran los grilletes de la juventud
Llevabas una camisa de verde violento, uh-huh
Nunca entendí la frecuencia, uh-huh
"¿Cuál es la frecuencia, Kenneth?" es tu Benzedrina, uh-huh
Calcomanía de mariposa, espejo retrovisor, acechando la escena
Sonríes como el dibujo animado, ojo por ojo
Dijiste que la ironía eran los grilletes de la juventud
Llevabas una camisa de verde violento, uh-huh
Nunca entendí la frecuencia, uh-huh
Llevabas nuestras expectativas como una armadura, uh-huh
No pude entender
Dijiste que la ironía eran los grilletes de la juventud, uh-huh
No pude entender
Llevabas una camisa de verde violento, uh-huh
No pude entender
Nunca entendí, no me jodas, uh-huh
