I Can't Own Her by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand
I own this river, I own this town
All of its climbers and its winos sliding down
But I can't own her and I never will
No I can't own her and that's a bitter pill
Taken with rain
'Til the gutter shines like the swirling sky
Like the swirling sky
I've got all morning, I've got all year
It's down in my pocket with the daylight folded there
But I can't own her and I never will
No I can't own her and that's a bitter pill
Taken with rain
How I'd wash her hair like the swirling sky
Like the swirling sky
And when I say I can't own her
I don't mean to buy her
It's nothing at all to do with money
I simply want her in my arms forever more.
Is that an odd request?
Is that something so funny?
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand
Yes there's more chance of that coming true
But I can't own her and I never will
No I can't own her and that's a bitter pill
So I can't own her (Of all the things you've got the thing you want the most is her)
And I never will (And she's the one thing that you just can't have)
No I can't own her (Of all the things you've got the thing you want the most is her)
And that's a bitter pill (And she's the one thing that you just can't have)
Taken with rain
Which I swallow down with the swirling sky
With the swirling sky
But I can't own her
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand
No I can't own her
Yes there's more chance of that coming true

I Can't Own Her (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Y bien podría desear la luna en la mano
Soy dueño de este río, soy dueño de este pueblo
Todos sus escaladores y sus borrachos cayendo
Pero no puedo poseerla y nunca lo haré
No, no puedo poseerla y esa es una píldora amarga
Tomada con lluvia
Hasta que la cuneta brille como el cielo arremolinado
Como el cielo arremolinado
Tengo toda la mañana, tengo todo el año
Está en mi bolsillo con la luz del día doblada allí
Pero no puedo poseerla y nunca lo haré
No, no puedo poseerla y esa es una píldora amarga
Tomada con lluvia
Cómo le lavaría el pelo como el cielo arremolinado
Como el cielo arremolinado
Y cuando digo que no puedo poseerla
No quiero decir comprarla
No tiene nada que ver con el dinero
Simplemente la quiero en mis brazos para siempre.
¿Es una petición extraña?
¿Es algo tan gracioso?
Y bien podría desear la luna en la mano
Sí, hay más posibilidades de que eso se haga realidad
Pero no puedo poseerla y nunca lo haré
No, no puedo poseerla y esa es una píldora amarga
Así que no puedo poseerla (De todas las cosas que tienes, lo que más quieres es a ella)
Y nunca lo haré (Y ella es lo único que no puedes tener)
No, no puedo poseerla (De todas las cosas que tienes, lo que más quieres es a ella)
Y esa es una píldora amarga (Y ella es lo único que no puedes tener)
Tomada con lluvia
Que trago con el cielo arremolinado
Con el cielo arremolinado
Pero no puedo poseerla
Y bien podría desear la luna en la mano
No, no puedo poseerla
Sí, hay más posibilidades de que eso se haga realidad
