AQUA: Turn back time – gyakoroljuk az “if only” angol nyelvtani szerkezetet

A 90-es évek egyik legnépszerűbb zenekara volt az Aqua, és ezzel a slágerükkel szuperül lehet gyakorolni az angol nyelvtant is, mégpedig az “if only” szerkezetet.

AQUA: TURN BACK TIME

Give me time to reason,
give me time to think it through
Passing through the season,
where I cheated you

I will always have a cross to wear,
but the bolt reminds me I was there

So give me strength,
to face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night. For the night…

Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience,
Will drill a hole in you

I seen it coming like a thief in the night,
I seen it coming from the flash of your light

So give me strength,
to face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time..
I would stay

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could
If only I could

If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could
If only I could

If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
