The Lifting

R.E.M.

Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

Grounded, 5 a.mEnraizado, 5 a.m

The nitelite is comfortingLa luz nocturna reconforta

But gravity is holding youPero la gravedad te retiene

Once settled into sleepUna vez que te has acomodado para dormir

You have watched, on repeatHas visto, en repetición

The story of your lifeLa historia de tu vida

Across the ceilingA lo largo del techo

And in reviewY en retrospectiva

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no lo crees

These things you've never seenEstas cosas que nunca has visto

"Good morning, and how are you?'Buenos días, ¿cómo estás?

The weather's fine, the sky is blueEl clima está bien, el cielo está azul

It's perfect for our seminar"Es perfecto para nuestro seminario'

"Now close your eyes'Ahora cierra los ojos

And start to breatheY comienza a respirar

Allow the noise to recedePermite que el ruido se desvanezca

...Allow yourself to drift and fly away"...Permítete desvanecerte y volar lejos'

But you just stayPero tú solo te quedas

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no lo crees

These things you've never seen, never dreamed.Estas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca soñado

Did you hear these voices calling¿Escuchaste esas voces llamando?

Locked into the conference roomEncerrado en la sala de conferencias

"We're only what our minds assume..."'Solo somos lo que nuestras mentes asumen...'

And rationale is leaving youY la racionalidad te abandona

This conceit, these systems of beliefEsta idea, estos sistemas de creencias

Your counselor agreesTu consejero está de acuerdo

"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."'Siempre has marcado estos límites, ahora eres libre...'

And with reliefY con alivio

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no lo crees

These things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamedEstas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca escuchado, nunca soñado

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no lo crees

These things you've never seenEstas cosas que nunca has visto

Never, never, neverNunca, nunca, nunca

Once you had a dreamUna vez tuviste un sueño

Of oceans, and sunken citiesDe océanos y ciudades hundidas

Memories of things you've never knownRecuerdos de cosas que nunca has conocido

And you have never known.Y que nunca has conocido.
