Hive Open Mic Week 114|| Baby can I hold you by Tracy Chapman [Eng-Esp]
ENGLISH
I love 80's music. To me, that's when music truly held real feelings and I bet you'd feel the same after listening to this song.
The song "Baby can I hold you" captures the theme for this week, More Than Words, quite aptly. It's about a person who wants their lover to say something more than "sorry, forgive me and I love you".
You can almost feel the pain when they say "years gone by and still Words don't come easily". There's nothing wrong with wanting a few more words, for wanting someone to really open up.
I hope this song makes as much sense to you as it did to me.
Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me, forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you, I love you
But you can say baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd be mine

SPANISH
Me encanta la música de los 80. Para mí, es la época en la que la música albergaba verdaderos sentimientos, y apuesto a que tú sentirás lo mismo después de escuchar esta canción.
La canción "Baby can I hold you" capta muy bien el tema de esta semana, More Than Words. Trata de una persona que quiere que su amante le diga algo más que "lo siento, perdóname y te quiero".
Casi se puede sentir el dolor cuando dicen "han pasado los años y todavía las palabras no vienen fácilmente". No hay nada malo en querer unas palabras más, en querer que alguien se abra de verdad.
Espero que esta canción tenga tanto sentido para ti como para mí.
Lo siento
Es todo lo que no puedes decir
Los años han pasado y todavía
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente
Como lo siento, como lo siento
Perdóname
Es todo lo que no puedes decir
Los años han pasado y todavía
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente
Como perdóname, perdóname
Pero puedes decir nena
Nena, ¿puedo abrazarte esta noche?
Tal vez si te dijera las palabras correctas
Ooh, en el momento adecuado serías mía
Te quiero
Es todo lo que no puedes decir
Los años han pasado y todavía
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente
Como te quiero, te quiero
Pero puedes decir nena
Nena, ¿puedo abrazarte esta noche?
Tal vez si te dijera las palabras correctas
Ooh, en el momento adecuado serías mía
Nena, ¿puedo abrazarte esta noche?
Tal vez si te dijera las palabras correctas
Ooh, en el momento adecuado serías mía
Serías mía
Serías mía

Hmm, yes, those words sometimes don't come easily... we can replace them but other ones that mean the same and feel safer somehow :D And music is also always here to help in situations :))
You have chosen a nice song with this one, and sang it very well. Thanks for your entry @young-boss-karin
Words are always so important. Thanks for the response.
You are welcome :)
And sorry for a bit late response to the response now 😅
Wow i love this presentation @young-boss-karin. Your performance was awesome and outstanding, great voice and aura.
Saying "I love you" is mostly hard to say compared to other words because it takes lots of energy, boldness and commitment to declare you love someone. Many have lost someone they darely love all because they find it so hard to profess their love when due meanwhile, time awaits no one. Great lyrics 👍 and goodluck friend @young-boss-karin
"I love you" comes easy these days. It's so easy for people to be dishonest. Love isn't just words anymore, it's about action and I guess that's what the song is about. The action of being held.
Nice song, you are amazing
Thank you
You are welcome
I love music and love to sing myself. I am not as delightful to listen to as you are.
We should do a duet. I'll cover for you. lol Thanks for the compliment.
