READY
FOR THE GOOD TIMES
(Shakira)
I don't want to clear
the cobwebs from my head
time will bring them back
i bet.
So if you hear me say
that i believe in love
don't make me
feel ashamed.
I used to sing
the saddest songs,
and at the meantime
vultures used to
find my door
falling back down
to the floor,
i used to read
survival guides
when my world was full
of seven naked cats,
but here i am with
eight more lives.
I'm ready for the good times
i'm ready for the good times
ready to get it all
i'm ready for the good times
i'm ready for the good times
now that i'm not alone.
You know it
you'd better not ignore
it.
I don't want to look
at fashion magazines
while someone does
my nails,
i'm sitting here
watching people live
frozen by the fear
to fail.
'Cause every day
there's a war
to fight,
and if i win or lose
neverminds
as long as you're my shelter
everynight.
I used to cry
against the wall,
but now i've got a shoulder
that i'm counting on
swear to me that you won't
be gone.
I'm ready for the good times
i'm ready for the good times
ready to get it all
i'm ready for the good times
i'm ready for the good times
now that i'm not alone.
You know it
you'd better not ignore
it. |
RULES
(Shakira)
You have to swear
you've got love to love
me
that will last forever,
we must have a story
with a happy ending.
I swear to never go away,
and never put aside
the things I'm gonna say,
'Cause these are rules for
us.
Use your eyes only to look
at me,
use your mouth only to kiss
my lips,
we are branches of the same
old tree.
You can laugh only if you
laugh with me,
you can cry only if you
cry for me;
don't forget that you're
condemned to me.
Can't you see
you always were
you'll always be.
You used to say
I should see a doctor
who would keep me busy.
'cause a jealous woman
never makes it easy.
And you know I'll do for
us
whatever seems right,
but it may take a while
before I change the rules.
Use your eyes only to look
at me,
use your mouth only to kiss
my lips,
we are branches of the same
old tree.
You can laugh only if you
laugh with me,
you can cry only if you
cry for me;
don't forget that you're
condemned to me.
Can't you see
you always were
you'll always be. |
THE
ONE
(Shakira)
So i find a reason
to shave my legs
each single morning.
So i count on someone
friday nights
to take me dancing
and then
to church on sundays.
To plan for dreams
and someday think
of kids;
or maybe just save
a little money
You're the one i need,
the way back home is
always long,
but if you're
close to me
i'm holding on.
You're the one i need
my real life
has just begun,
'cause there's nothing
like your smile
made of sun.
In the world
full of strangers,
you're the one i know.
So i learned to cook
and finally loose
my kitchen fobia.
So i i've got the arms
to cuddle in
when there's a ghost
or a muse
that brings insomnia.
To buy more thongs,
write more happy songs,
it always takes a little
help from somone.
You're the one i need,
the way back home is
always long,
but if you're
close to me
i'm holding on.
You're the one i need
my real life
has just begun,
'cause there's nothing
like your smile
made of sun.
You're the one i need,
you're the one i need,
with you my real life
has just begun.
You're the one i need,
you're the one i need,
nothing like your smile
made of sun.
Nothing like your love,
nothing like your hug,
nothing like your love. |
VUELVE
(Shakira)
Fría como una estatua
de sal
en un mausoleo de cristal,
seca hasta los huesos por
llorar
y muerta como puede estar
tibero en su huacal.
Toda en ruinas como el partenón
sola como terminó
Colón,
pálida como una Mona
Lisa,
amargada como un limón,
arrugada como acordeón.
Como la Esfinge cuando
perdió su naríz,
como Alejrandro Magno
sin su espada y sin su dardo
como un pobre cristiano
en pleno Imperio Romano.
Busco algo que puesa contestar
por que estoy cansada de
pensar
como es que transcurren
los segundos
y yo sobrevivo a este diluvio
universal
Sin más esfuerzo la
explicación
aparece en un viejo cajón
y en menos de una sola fracción
se viste de verde el corazón.
Como la Esfinge cuando
perdió su naríz,
como Alejrandro Magno
sin su espada y sin su dardo
como un pobre cristiano
en pleno Imperio Romano.
Vuelve, vuelve, vuelve.
Que mi vida se desliza por
un caño
que mis pies de estar parados
tienen cayos
ya no sé como decirte
que te extraño
y ya en estas he pasado
más de un año.
Vuelve, vuelve, vuelve.
Que mi barca se está
hundiendo en el lodo
que de angustia me he mordido
hasta los codos,
que mi mundo esta vacío
y aburrido
que me muero por tenerte
aquí conmigo. |
