Not since "Louie Louie" has there been such unintelligible lyrics as in Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter." This epic song from the 90's has FINALLY been translated! Sit back, and take in the flowing poetry streaming from the lips of the rock bard Eddie Vedder:

i never really thought it was that hard to understand :/

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said i dont know whether
Im the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay...

Make me cry <guitar solo>

Ooooh I see
I dont know theres something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh I said I dont, I dont know whether Im a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay
I dont wanna stay (2x)
Dont
Dont wanna
Oh... yeah... oooh...

I watched that a while ago, and now when it comes on I cant hear anything but the misheard version.
