Lyrics & Translation
English
Give me my power
Give me my power
Give me my power
Give me my power
I built this city
I got plenty concrete, plenty steel
Please give me my trees, give 'em back
Give me tourists, give me traffic
Give me noise, just give it back
Could you bring back all my police, give me order
Turn back on my lights, give me fuel and water
I think I'm begging, cause now that everything's gone
I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine
With the streets all dark, it looks like my buildings are gone
I made you the mayor of my town honey
And I'm why you are the senate representative
I gave you the key to my city
Gave you, power over, power over me
Give it to me
Give it back to me
The city belongs to me
The city is ours no more
Tell the government, please give me funding
Can't you see that I'm doing bad?
Give me floodgates, give me levees
Too much water can you push it back
How you just gon' leave me out of order
I ain't got no lights and no fuel to start up
I know I'm begging, cause now that everything's dried up
I'm needing mine, I'm needing mine
And with the streets all dark, the buildings look lost
I made you the mayor of my town honey
I'm why you are the senate representative
I gave you the key to my city, all power over, power over me
Give it to me, give it back to me
The city belongs to me
The city is ours no more
We used to be sky high
We used to be major
We used to be sky high
We used to be major, baby, major
Give it to me, give it back to me
The city mine, baby
This whole city is mine
The city is mine, honey
Give it to me, give it back to me
The city is mine, oh baby
The city is mine
The city is mine
Now give it to me
Give it back to me
The city belongs to me
The city is ours no more

The City (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Dame mi poder
Dame mi poder
Dame mi poder
Dame mi poder
Yo construí esta ciudad
Tengo mucho concreto, mucho acero
Por favor, dame mis árboles, devuélvelos
Dame turistas, dame tráfico
Dame ruido, solo devuélvelo
¿Podrías traer de vuelta a toda mi policía, dame orden?
Vuelve a encender mis luces, dame combustible y agua
Creo que estoy rogando, porque ahora que todo se ha ido
Necesito lo mío, necesito lo mío
Con las calles todas oscuras, parece que mis edificios se han ido
Te hice el alcalde de mi ciudad, cariño
Y soy la razón por la que eres el representante del senado
Te di la llave de mi ciudad
Te di, poder sobre, poder sobre mí
Dámelo
Devuélvemelo
La ciudad me pertenece
La ciudad ya no es nuestra
Dile al gobierno, por favor, dame financiación
¿No ves que me va mal?
Dame compuertas, dame diques
Demasiada agua, ¿puedes empujarla de vuelta?
¿Cómo vas a dejarme así en desorden?
No tengo luces ni combustible para arrancar
Sé que estoy rogando, porque ahora que todo se ha secado
Necesito lo mío, necesito lo mío
Y con las calles todas oscuras, los edificios parecen perdidos
Te hice el alcalde de mi ciudad, cariño
Soy la razón por la que eres el representante del senado
Te di la llave de mi ciudad, todo el poder sobre, poder sobre mí
Dámelo, devuélvemelo
La ciudad me pertenece
La ciudad ya no es nuestra
Solíamos estar por las nubes
Solíamos ser importantes
Solíamos estar por las nubes
Solíamos ser importantes, nena, importantes
Dámelo, devuélvemelo
La ciudad es mía, nena
Toda esta ciudad es mía
La ciudad es mía, cariño
Dámelo, devuélvemelo
La ciudad es mía, oh nena
La ciudad es mía
La ciudad es mía
Ahora dámelo
Devuélvemelo
La ciudad me pertenece
La ciudad ya no es nuestra
