I Can Be That Woman by ABBA
Lyrics & Translation
English
You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
And she looks straight up at me
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
But the pain that I feel is real
She jumps down and her tail is swishing
Like a feather right under your nose
And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
I say I'm sorry, I can see you've cried
You look frail as you stand before me
Then you curse and kick a chair
And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
But she jerks every time you swear
I feel sick and my hands are shaking
This is how all our fights have begun
You say you've had it
And you say, "Screw you!"
I say, "I love you!"
And I know it's true
You're not the man you should have been
I let you down somehow (Not the one I could have been)
I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
But I can be that woman now
You're confused when you turn to face me
Is it true or is she drunk?
But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
I'm aware of how far I've sunk
And the dog is the first to feel it
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
You can't believe it
But you're close to tears
Oh God! I'm sorry for the wasted years
(Not the one I could have been)
You're not the man you should have been (I let you down)
I let you down somehow (Not the one I could have been)
I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
But I can be that woman now

I Can Be That Woman (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Estás dormido en el sofá con Tammy
Y ella me mira directamente
El reproche en sus ojos es imaginado
Pero el dolor que siento es real
Ella salta y su cola se mueve
Como una pluma justo debajo de tu nariz
Y luego te despiertas con los ojos legañosos
Digo lo siento, puedo ver que has llorado
Te ves frágil mientras estás frente a mí
Luego maldices y pateas una silla
Y la perra, bendita sea, me lame los dedos
Pero se estremece cada vez que maldices
Me siento mal y mis manos tiemblan
Así es como todas nuestras peleas han comenzado
Dices que ya no puedes más
Y dices, "¡Vete al diablo!"
Digo, "¡Te amo!"
Y sé que es verdad
No eres el hombre que debiste haber sido
Te decepcioné de alguna manera (No la que pude haber sido)
No soy la mujer que pude haber sido (Puedo ser esa mujer)
Pero puedo ser esa mujer ahora
Estás confundido cuando te giras para mirarme
¿Es verdad o está borracha?
Pero está claro que he tocado fondo
Soy consciente de lo bajo que he caído
Y la perra es la primera en sentirlo
Hay un destello de esperanza en tus ojos
No puedes creerlo
Pero estás a punto de llorar
¡Oh Dios! Lo siento por los años perdidos
(No la que pude haber sido)
No eres el hombre que debiste haber sido (Te decepcioné)
Te decepcioné de alguna manera (No la que pude haber sido)
No soy la mujer que pude haber sido (Puedo ser esa mujer)
Pero puedo ser esa mujer ahora
