Wrapped In Grey by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Some folks see the world as a stone
Concrete daubed in dull monotone
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints
How coloured the flowers all smelled
As they huddled there, in petalled prayer
They told me this, as I knelt there
Awaken you dreamers
Adrift in your beds
Balloons and streamers
Decorate the inside of your heads
Please let some out
Do it today
But don't let the loveless ones sell you
A world wrapped in grey
Some folks pull this life like a weight
Drab and dragging dreams made of slate
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints
Just think how the old masters felt, they call...
Awaken you dreamers
Asleep at your desks
Parrots and lemurs
Populate your unconscious grotesques
Please let some out
Do it today
Don't let the loveless ones sell you
A world wrapped in grey
And in the very least you can
Stand up naked and
Grin

Some folks see the world as a stone
Concrete daubed in dull monotone
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints

As they huddled there, in petalled prayer
They told me this, as I knelt there
Awaken you dreamers
Adrift in your beds

Wrapped In Grey (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Algunos ven el mundo como una piedra
Hormigón embadurnado en monótono opaco
Tu corazón es la gran caja de pinturas
Y otros, el lienzo que nos toca
Tu corazón es la gran caja de pinturas
Qué coloridas olían todas las flores
Mientras se acurrucaban allí, en oración de pétalos
Me dijeron esto, mientras me arrodillaba allí
Despertad, soñadores
A la deriva en vuestras camas
Globos y serpentinas
Decoran el interior de vuestras cabezas
Por favor, dejad salir algo
Hacedlo hoy
Pero no dejéis que los desamorados os vendan
Un mundo envuelto en gris
Algunos arrastran esta vida como un peso
Sueños monótonos y pesados hechos de pizarra
Tu corazón es la gran caja de pinturas
Y otros, el lienzo que nos toca
Tu corazón es la gran caja de pinturas
Solo pensad cómo se sentían los viejos maestros, ellos llaman...
Despertad, soñadores
Dormidos en vuestros escritorios
Lorros y lémures
Pueblan vuestros grotescos inconscientes
Por favor, dejad salir algo
Hacedlo hoy
No dejéis que los desamorados os vendan
Un mundo envuelto en gris
Y al menos podéis
Levantaros desnudos y
Sonreír
