The Years that We Got Left to Live

Perhaps there are more stars of whom
I can watch in the firmament.

Perhaps there is something so deep
in the dark sea like the love
that I have achieved to give you.

I met, when you life was an open flower.
I was in love and wanted that you were the first,
that there was not any more,
who could ruin, and you always loved me.

The dream of my life, finally closing my hurt,
the years that we got left to live...
My hands are wrapping around your bright hair
your skin is nailing into my skin.

I want to feel like your lips go
through my body.
I find on you, all things that I think
that I have not got, tenderness and understanding
and that time of passion where silence doesn't exist.Lyrics

  1. Perhaps there are more stars THAN

    Perhaps there is something so deep
    in the dark sea AS the love
    that I have BEEN ABLE to give you.

    I met YOU when youR life was an open flower.
    I was in love and wanted that you were the first,
    that there was not any more,
    who I could ruin, and you WOULD always lovE me.

    The dream of my life, finally closing my hurt,
    the years that we HAVE(1) left to live...
    My hands are wrapping around your bright hair
    your skin is nailing into my skin.

    I want to feel HOW your lips go
    through my body.
    I find IN you, all things that I think

    I know that the British tend to say "have got", but I think and hope that even they would agree that simply "got" here sounds bad.

  2. The great cuestión: When is it a good chance to use HAVE GOT?

  3. Well, I can talk only about American English. The word "got" is the past participle of "to get". And the simplest meaning of "to get" is "to obtain" (obtener). So, whenever you might say "have obtained", you could say "have got". Examples:
    I have got permission to leave tomorrow.
    We have got four assistants for the meeting tomorrow.

    Now, a complication: In the US the past participle of "to get" is usually "gotten", not "got". So we would really say "have gotten" in those examples above.

    So, when do we say "have got"? I don't know!

    When the Brits say "I have got two brothers", do they really mean "I have obtained two brothers"? That's what is sounds like to me.
