La Tortura |
The
Torture (Shakira & Alejandro Sanz) Oh my little payita * Keep your poetry Keep your joy for yourself I don't ask that every day be a sunny day I don't ask that all Fridays be holidays Nor do I ask that you come back asking for forgiveness If you cry dry eyes And talking about her Oh my love, it hurts me so much It hurts me so much That you should go without saying where Oh love It was a torture To lose you I know I haven't been a saint But I can make it right, love Man can't live off bread alone And I don't live off excuses You can only learn from your mistakes And today I know my heart is yours It'd be better if you kept All that Tell that story to another one * And we'll say goodbye I can't ask the winter to have mercy on the rosebush I can't ask the XXX to give pears I can't ask eternity of a simple mortal And throw thousands of pearls to pigs Oh love, it hurts me so much It hurts me so much That you don't believe my promises Oh love It's a torture To lose you! I know I haven't been a saint (And the thing is I'm not made of cardboard) Don't go down, don't go down Hey little black girl, don't give up You have my love from Monday to Friday Let me have my Saturday, don't punish me any more Hey my little black girl don't punish me any more Because out there without you I have no peace I'm just a very XXX man I'm like the bird that comes back to its nest I know I haven't been a saint (And the thing is I'm not made of cardboard) Ay ay ay, Ay ay ay, Ay, everything I did for you It was a torture to lose you It hurts me so much that it should be that way Carry on crying out for forgiveness I... I'm not going to Cry for you... Cry for you! |
