Lyrics and translation R.E.M. - What's the Frequency, Kenneth? (Radio Version)
What's the Frequency, Kenneth? (Radio Version)
Quelle est la fréquence, Kenneth ? (Version radio)
"What's
the
frequency,
Kenneth?"
is
your
Benzedrine,
uh-huh
"Quelle
est
la
fréquence,
Kenneth ?"
est
ton
benzedrine,
uh-huh
I
was
brain-dead,
locked
out,
numb,
not
up
to
speed
J'étais
inconscient,
enfermé,
engourdi,
pas
au
courant
I
thought
I'd
pegged
you
an
idiot's
dream
Je
pensais
t'avoir
identifié
comme
un
rêve
d'idiot
Tunnel
vision
from
the
outsider's
screen
Vision
tunnel
de
l'écran
du
marginal
I
never
understood
the
frequency,
uh-huh
Je
n'ai
jamais
compris
la
fréquence,
uh-huh
You
wore
our
expectations
like
an
armored
suit,
uh-huh
Tu
portais
nos
attentes
comme
une
armure,
uh-huh
I'd
studied
your
cartoons,
radio,
music,
TV,
movies,
magazines
J'avais
étudié
tes
dessins
animés,
la
radio,
la
musique,
la
télévision,
les
films,
les
magazines
Richard
said,
"Withdrawal
in
disgust
is
not
the
same
as
apathy"
Richard
a
dit :
"Le
retrait
par
dégoût
n'est
pas
la
même
chose
que
l'apathie"
A
smile
like
the
cartoon,
tooth
for
a
tooth
Un
sourire
comme
le
dessin
animé,
dent
pour
dent
You
said
that
irony
was
the
shackles
of
youth
Tu
as
dit
que
l'ironie
était
les
chaînes
de
la
jeunesse
You
wore
a
shirt
of
violent
green,
uh-huh
Tu
portais
une
chemise
vert
violent,
uh-huh
I
never
understood
the
frequency,
uh-huh
Je
n'ai
jamais
compris
la
fréquence,
uh-huh
"What's
the
frequency,
Kenneth?"
is
your
Benzedrine,
uh-huh
"Quelle
est
la
fréquence,
Kenneth ?"
est
ton
benzedrine,
uh-huh
Butterfly
decal,
rear-view
mirror,
dogging
the
scene
Autocollant
papillon,
rétroviseur,
traquant
la
scène
You
smile
like
the
cartoon,
tooth
for
a
tooth
Tu
souris
comme
le
dessin
animé,
dent
pour
dent

that
irony

ne
pouvais
pas

me
fais
pas
chier,
