Song lyrics
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Ay padrita mía 
Guárdate la poesía 
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti 

Dame, dame, dámelo, oh 

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

Ay amor me duele tanto 
(Alejandro Sanz) Me duele tanto 
(Shakira) Que te fueras sin decir a donde 
Ay amor, fue una tortura perderte

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Yo sé que no he sido un santo 
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor 

SHAKIRA:
No solo de pan vive el hombre 
Y no de excusas vivo yo. 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Solo de errores se aprende 
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón 

SHAKIRA:
Mejor te guardas todo eso 
A otro perro con ese hueso 
Y nos decimos adiós 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Esto es otra vez esto es otra vez no

SHAKIRA:
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 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Ay amor me duele tanto 
Me duele tanto 
Que no creas más en mis promesas 
Ay amor (Shakira) 
es una tortura (Alejandro Sanz) 
perderte (Shakira) 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Yo se que no he sido un santo 
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor 

SHAKIRA:
No solo de pan vive el hombre 
Y no de excusas vivo yo. 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Solo de errores se aprende 
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón 

SHAKIRA:
Mejor te guardas todo eso 
A otro perro con ese hueso 
Y nos decimos adiós 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
No te bajes, no te rajes 
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 

Yo se que no he sido un santo 
y es que no estoy hecho de cartón 

SHAKIRA:
No solo de pan vive el hombre 
Y no de excusas vivo yo. 

ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Solo de errores se aprende 
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón 

SHAKIRA:
Ay ay ay ay ay 
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti 
Una tortura perderte 
Me duele tanto que sea asi 
Sigue llorando perdón 
Yo... yo no voy 
A llorar por ti ...

realmente a mi si me gusta esta cancion, pq como q tiene el ritmo de reggaeton (ORIGINAL DE PUERTO RICO MI QUERIDA PATRIA) pero la lirica no es tan vulgar como la del reggaeton de Puerto rico y lo que tiene es como q una mezcla de reggaeton y musica colombiana q realmente invita a escuchar. Añasdiendo que las voces de estos dos artistas cambian la "tradicion" de lo vocal del reggaeton y la verdad es que como la cancion es tan distinta y la lirica tiene tantas emociones, me facina.

As I love my spanish I translated it and I made it make sense

La tortura-The torture

I don't ask everyday for sun
I don't ask for fridays for celebration
I ask only of you
That you return to me and the wanting, pardon,
If you cry with dry eyes whilst speaking of her,

Chorus:
Oh love hurts so much to me
Hurts so much to Me
You won't say where you are,
Oh love,
was a torture

I that I have not been there,
can't fix a love,
No bread of man
Can excuse why I'm alive

I have learned the errors,
And those of my heart,

better keep them all
Like another dog with a bone,
and we say goodbye,

I can't ask that the winters pardon for a rose,
No I can't ask the elm trees to give pears,
No I can't ask enternity for I'm simply a mortal,
And I throw a thousand pigs at them,
for each of them

chorus:

I that I have not been there,
can't fix a love,
No bread of man
Can excuse why I'm alive

You don't lower, you don't lower,
hears the chime of watches you don't crack
Monday through friday you have my love
And on saturday it is better
Hears my black heart don't punish me more,
Becuase I'm with you outside
I don't have peace there
I am a sorry man
I am like the bird I return to his nest

I have not been there
And he is hard like cardboard
No bread of men lives
And on the excuses to live
I learn the errors
And today it is that I give my heart to you

Ay ay ay Ay,
everything I have done by you,
Was a torture perderte,
And hurts so much to me who is here,
Pardon my continious cried
,I... I I do not go,
A to cry by you,

Here it is again, I managed to actually make it make sense now :

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

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

I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye

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

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

I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye

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

I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Better save it for someone foolish enough to believe you and say Goodbye

AD LIBS

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

SHAKIRA TIENE BUENA VOZ Y BAILA BIEN, PERO SUS CANCIONES LA VERDAD COMO QUE NO TIENEN SENTIDO, SI ANALIZAN BIEN ALGUNOS PARRAFOS, COMO QUE NO CONCUERDAN. COMO SU NUEVA CANCION LA TORURA "ARROJARLE A LOS CERDOS MILES DE PERLAS" QUE ES ESO? LA CANCION DE PIEZ DESCALZOS, MEJOR LEEANLA. POR ESO YA CUALQUIERA COMPONE SUS PROPIAS CANCIONES, COMO LOS "NUEVOS ARTISTAS" (ASI SE HACEN LLAMAR) QUE VIENEN PEGANDO CON EL REGGEATON, NOMAS PEGA UNA CANCION DE ELLOS Y YA SON FAMOSOS, PERO EN REALIDAD QUE DICEN SUS CANCIONES, ESTAN PEGAJOSAS PERO POR EL RITMO NO POR LAS NANGUERAS QUE DICE, COMO LA GASOLINA, QUE ES ESO , Y TODAVIA DEFIENDEN EL REGGEATON, SE ENOJAN CUANDO OTRO ENTRA A ESA ONDA, NADIE ES DUEÑO DEL REGGEATON, QUE HAYA NACIDO EN P.R. ES OTRA COSA. PERO NO SE CONFUNDAD. NI MUCHO MENOS LLAMEN ARTISTA AL QUE NO.
