THe song of the week this week is....
La Tortura ("The Torture")
Artist: Shakira
Language: Spanish
Why I'm so obsessed with it:
The lyrics are stellar (If you can understand them) and the music is just catchy. Though I'm not really a fan of Shakira, this Alejandro Sanz guy has a sexy as hell voice worth listening too. The song is just good and I can relate to it in so many ways. The video leaves something to be desired however >>
Lyrics (+Translation)
(Alejandro Sanz)
Ay payita mía
Guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
(Shakira)
No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella
I'm not asking that every day be sunny
I'm not asking that there be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness
If you're crying with dry eyes,
Speaking about her
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que te fueras sin decir a donde
Ay amor, fue una tortura perderte
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was torture
Chorus
(Alejandro)
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you
(Shakira)
No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo.
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
(Alejandro)
Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
(Shakira)
Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas
I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can't ask an elm tree to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls before swine
(Alejandro)
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que no creas más en mis promesas
Ay amor es una tortura perderte
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love, losing you has been torture
repeat chorus
(Alejandro)
No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Listen, baby, don't you go
Listen, baby, don't get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you'll be better off
Listen baby, don't punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace
I'm just a repentant man
I'm the bird that returns to its nest
Yo se que no he sido un santo
y es que no estoy hecho de cartón
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
(Shakira)
No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo.
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
(Alejandro)
Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
(Shakira)
Ay ay ay
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti
Fue una tortura perderte
Y me duele tanto que sea asi
Sigue llorando perdón
Yo... yo no voy
A llorar por ti
Oh after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it's like this
Keep on crying sorry
I…
I'm not going
To cry over you
Boom Baby.
