Shakira Lyrics

Poem to a Horse
You're too far to bring you close
Too high to see below
Just hanging on your daily dose
You know you never needed anyone
But for rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have?

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You got more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more

I'd rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab to New York
Coz to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
Cuz there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've got other things to do

I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more


Si Te Vas (If You Go)
Translated from Spanish

Tell me what you'll do after seeing her body the first time,
When your mischievous curiosity dies,
When you memorize the parts of her body,
And decide again to comback,
I won't be here in the same place
If she doesn't have more than a pair of fingers in front,
And you discover she doesn't brush her teeth well,
If she takes the little cents you have,
And later she leaves you alone like she wants,
I know you'll comback the day,
In which she tore you to pieces,
Without pillows to cry on,
But if you have decided,
And you don't want me anymore,
Nothing now doesn't matter,
Because without you,
The world wouldn't be the same to me

If you go, if you go, if you leave,
My sky becomes gray,
If you go, if you go, and you don't,
Have to come for me,
If you go, if you go, and change me,
For that witch, piece of trash,
Don't comback anymore,
Since I won't be here

All new brooms always sweep well,
Later you're going to see the bristles be gone,
When her wrinkles fold her skin,
And her cellulite covers her legs

You'll comeback from your hell,
With a tail between you horns,
Imploring one more time,
But for that, then,
I'll be here a million nights,
Far from this enormous city,
Far from you,
The world wouldn't be the same to me

If you go, if you go, if you leave,
My sky becomes gray,
If you go, if you go, and you don't,
Have to come for me,
If you go, if you go, and change me,
For that witch, piece of trash,
Don't comback anymore,
Since I won't be here

Whenever, Wherever
Lucky you were born that far away
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
And that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
At your feet...I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover hereundr
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
And that's the deal my dear

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
Think out loud say it again
Le do le le le le lo le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
