He Can Only Hold Her

John Harrison, Richard Poindexter, Robert Poindexter, Amy Winehouse, Charles Harper

Lyrics Translation

Whoa, oh
Oh-oh, whoa, ohh

He can only hold her for so long
The lights are on, but no one's home
She's so vacant
Her soul is taken
He thinks, "What's she running from?"

Now, how can he have her heart
When it got stole?
So he tries to pacify her
'Cause what's inside her never dies

Even if she's content in his warmth
She is plagued with urgency
Searching kisses
The man she misses
The man that he longs to be

Now, how can he have her heart
When it got stole?
So he tries to pacify her
'Cause what's inside her never dies

So he tries to pacify her
'Cause what's inside her it never dies, whoa

So he tries to pacify her
But what's inside her never dies (woo)

Whoa, oh
Uoh, oh
Oh-oh, whoa, ohh
Oh-oh, uoh, ohh
He can only hold her for so long
Ele só pode estar com ela por mais um tempo
The lights are on, but no one's home
As luzes estão acesas, mas não tem ninguém em casa
She's so vacant
Ela está tão vazia
Her soul is taken
Sua alma foi tomada
He thinks, "What's she running from?"
Ele pensa, "Do que ela está fugindo?"
Now, how can he have her heart
Como ele pode ter o coração dela
When it got stole?
Se ele foi roubado?
So he tries to pacify her
Então ele tenta trazer paz a ela
'Cause what's inside her never dies
Porque o que está dentro dela nunca morre
Even if she's content in his warmth
Mesmo estando contente no calor dele
She is plagued with urgency
Ela está aflita, com urgência
Searching kisses
Procurando beijos
The man she misses
O homem de quem ela tem saudade
The man that he longs to be
O homem com quem quer estar
Now, how can he have her heart
Como ele pode ter o coração dela
When it got stole?
Se ele foi roubado?
So he tries to pacify her
Então ele tenta trazer paz a ela
'Cause what's inside her never dies
Porque o que está dentro dela nunca morre
So he tries to pacify her
Então ele tenta trazer paz a ela
'Cause what's inside her it never dies, whoa
Porque o que está dentro dela nunca morre, uoh
So he tries to pacify her
Então ele tenta trazer paz a ela
But what's inside her never dies (woo)
Mas o que está dentro dela nunca morre (wuh)
Whoa, oh
Woah, uh
Oh-oh, whoa, ohh
Oh-oh, woah, oh
He can only hold her for so long
Solo puede sostenerla por un cierto tiempo
The lights are on, but no one's home
Las luces están encendidas, pero no hay nadie en casa
She's so vacant
Ella está tan vacía
Her soul is taken
Su alma está tomada
He thinks, "What's she running from?"
Él piensa "¿De qué está huyendo?"
Now, how can he have her heart
Ahora, ¿cómo puede él tener su corazón
When it got stole?
Cuando fue robado?
So he tries to pacify her
Así que trata de apaciguarla
'Cause what's inside her never dies
Porque lo que hay dentro de ella nunca muere
Even if she's content in his warmth
Incluso si ella está contenta con su calidez
She is plagued with urgency
Ella está llena de urgencia
Searching kisses
Buscando besos
The man she misses
Al hombre que echa de menos
The man that he longs to be
El hombre que él anhela ser
Now, how can he have her heart
Ahora, ¿cómo puede él tener su corazón
When it got stole?
Cuando fue robado?
So he tries to pacify her
Así que trata de apaciguarla
'Cause what's inside her never dies

Así que trata de apaciguarla
'Cause what's inside her it never dies, whoa
Porque lo que hay dentro de ella nunca muere
So he tries to pacify her
Así que trata de apaciguarla
But what's inside her never dies (woo)
Porque lo que hay dentro de ella nunca muere (wuh)
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Oh-oh, whoa, ohh
Oh-oh, whoa, ohh
He can only hold her for so long
Il ne peut pas la tenir trop longtemps
The lights are on, but no one's home
Les lumières sont allumées mais personne n'est à la maison
She's so vacant
Elle est si vide
Her soul is taken
Son âme est prise
He thinks, "What's she running from?"
Il pense "de quoi se sauve-t-elle?"
Now, how can he have her heart
Et là, comment peut-il avoir son cœur
When it got stole?
Quand il a été volé?
So he tries to pacify her
Alors il essaye de la calmer
'Cause what's inside her never dies
Car ce qui est en elle ne meurt jamais
Even if she's content in his warmth
Même si elle est contente dans sa chaleur
She is plagued with urgency
Elle est empoisonnée par l'urgence
Searching kisses
À la recherche de baisers
The man she misses
L'homme qui lui manque
The man that he longs to be
L'homme qu'il veut être
Now, how can he have her heart
Comment peut-il avoir son cœur
When it got stole?
Quand il a été volé?

Car ce qui est en elle ne meurt jamais, woah
