The Torture TO: Oh! mamita my you keep you the poetry, keep you the happiness pa’ you! You give me, give me,
give it to me!
Sh: I do Not ask that every day they be of sun, do not I ask that every Friday they be of festival.. And do neither I ask you that return
begging pardon, if cry with the dry eyes and speaking of her!
Sh: Oh! Love hurts me so much.. To: it hurts Me so much! Sh: That you were you without telling where. Oh! Love was a torture.. A&Sh:...perderte!
To: I know that I have not been a saint, but I can fix it, love. Sh: Not only of bread the man lives and not of alive excuse I! To: Only of errors he is learned and today I know that is yours my heart. Sh: Better all that you keep you. To another dog with that bone and we tell ourselves good-bye!
Sh: I can Not ask that the winter forgive a rosebush. I cannot ask to the elms that deliver pears. I cannot ask him the eternal thing to a simple mortal and to walk throwing to the hogs thousands of pearls!
To: Oh! Love hurts me so much, hurts me so much! That do not you create more in my promises. Sh: Ahy! Love.. To: Is a torture.. Sh: ...perderte!
To: I know that I have not been a saint, but I can fix it, love. Sh: Not only of bread the man lives and not of alive excuses I! To: Only of errors he is learned and today I know that is yours my heart. Sh: Better all that you keep you. To another dog with that bone and we tell ourselves good-bye!
To: you Give me, give it to me. You do not descend, do not descend, hears boldface sight, do not tear you. From Monday to Friday you have my love, leave me Saturday to my that is better! It hears my black one do not punish me more, because there outside without you do not I have peace! I only am a man repented and as the bird that returns to his nest.
To: I know that I have not been a saint and the fact is that I am not done of cardboard Sh: Not only of bread lives the man and not of alive excuses I! To: Only of errors he is learned and today I know that is yours my heart. Sh: Oh! ... Oh! ... oh, oh, oh, Oh! Everything that I have done by you. It was a torture to lose you and hurts me so much that be thus. Continues crying pardon. I. ..(A: Hears sight do not tear you!) I do not go. ..a to cry for you! |

That’s a rather...direct translation. You cant really translate every word exactly, cause it doesnt make sense. |

THE TORTURE (Shakira feat. Alejandro Sanz)
(Shakira)
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
(Alejandro Sanz)
I know I haven’t been a saint
But I can make it up to you
(Shakira)
Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
(Alejandro Sanz)
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
(Shakira)
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
(Alejandro Sanz)
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
(Shakira)
Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
(Alejandro Sanz)
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
(Shakira)
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let’s say goodbye
(Alejandro Sanz)
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
(Shakira)
Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
(Alejandro Sanz)
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
(Shakira)
Better save it for someone foolish enough to believe you and say Goodbye |

The translation mentioned above is quite good - though I’m not sure of the stone part (I translated cartón as cardboard). Basically, the tone of the song is her saying that it was torture when he left, and now that he’s realized what he’s done he’s saying that he knows he hasn’t been a saint, but that he can fix it. She’s not buying it and eventually tells him that she’s not going to give him the opportunity to hurt her again, and that he should just shove off - only in a much more round about way (it sounds so much prettier in Spanish :-)). Hope that helps. |
