Ocatavo Dú} : Listen...
Written&Produced by Shakira
(Translate it to ... English
/ Spanish)
el octavo dú} Dios después de tanto trabajar
para liberar tensiones luego ya de revisar
fijo todo estEmuy bien es hora de descansar
y se fue a dar un paseo por el espacio sideral
quién se iba a imaginar que el mismo Dios al regresar
iba a encontrarlo todo en un desorden infernal
y que se iba a convertir en un desempleado más
de la tasa que anualmente estEcreciendo sin parar
desde ese entonces hay quienes lo han visto
solo en las calles transitar
anda esperando paciente por alguien
con quien al menos tranquilo
pueda conversar
coro/chorus:
mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira
sin poderlo detener
y aquEabajo unos cuantos nos manejam
como fichas de ajedrez
no soy la clase de idiota
que se deja convencer
pero digo la verdad
y hasta un ciego lo puede ver
si a falta de ocupación
o de excesiva soledad
Dios no resistiera más
y se marchara a outro lugar
serú} nuestra perdición
no habrú} outro remedio más
que adorar a michael jackson
a bill çlinton o a tarzán
es más difú€il ser rey sin corona
que una persona más normal
pobre de Dios que no sale en revistas
que no es modelo ni artista o de familia real

Si Te Vas : Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
cuéntame que harás después que estrenes su cuerpo
cuando muera tu traviesa curiosidad
cuando memorices todos sus recobecos
y decidas otra vez regresar
ya no estarEaquEen el mismo lugar
si no tiene más que un par de dedos de frente
y descubres que no se lava bien los dientes
si te quita los pocos centavos que tienes
y luego te deja solo tal como quiere
sEque volverás el dú}
en que ella te haga trizas
sin almohadas para llorar
pero si te has decidido
y no quieres más conmigo
nada ahora puede importar
porque sin ti
el mundo ya me da igual
coro/chorus:
si te vas, si te vas, si te marchas
mi cielo se harEgris
si te vas, si te vas, ya no tienes
que venir por mi
si te vas, si te vas, y me cambias
por esa bruja, pedazo de cuero
no vuelvas nunca más
que no estarEaquE
toda escoba nueva siempre barre bien
luego vas a ver desgastadas las cerdas cuando las
arrugas le corten la piel
y la celulitis invada sus piernas
volverás desde tu infierno
con el rabo entre los cuernos
implorando una vez más
pero para ese entonces
yo estarEun millón de noches
lejos de esta enorme ciudad
lejos de ti
el mundo ya me da igual

Moscas En La Casa : Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
mis dú}s sin ti son tan oscuros
tan largos tan grises
mis dú}s sin ti
mis dú}s sin ti son tan absurdos
tan agrios tan duros
mis dias sin ti
mis dú}s sin ti no tienen noches
si alguna aparece
es inútil dormir
mis dú}s sin ti son un derroche
las horas no tienen principio, ni fin
coro/chorus:
tan faltos de aire
tan llenos de nada
chatarra inservible
basura en el suelo
moscas en la casa
mis dú}s sin ti son como un cielo
sin lunas plateadas
ni rastros de sol
mis dú}s sin ti son sólo un eco
que siempre repite
la misma canción
coro/chorus
pateando las piedras
aún sigo esperando que vuelvas conmigo
aún sigo buscando en las caras de ancianos
pedazos de niño
cazando motivos que me hagan creer
que aún me encuentro con vida
mordiendo mis uñas
ahogándome en llanto
extrañandote tanto
mis dú}s sin ti
cómo duelen mis dú}s sin ti
Ciega Sordomuda : Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
se me acaba el argumento
y la metodologú}

por que este amor ya no entiende
de consejos, ni razones
se alimenta de pretextos
y le faltan pantalones
este amor no me permite
estar en pie
porque ya hasta me hEquebrado
los talones
y aunque me levante volverEa caer
si te acercas nada es útil
para esta inútil
coro/chorus:
bruta, ciega, sordomuda,
torpe, traste, testaruda,
es todo lo que he sido
por ti me he convertido
en una cosa que no hace
otra cosa más que amarte
pienso en ti dú} y noche
y no se como olvidarte
cuántas veces he intentado
enterrarte en mi memoria
y aunque diga ya no más
es otra vez la misma historia
porque este amor siempre sabe
hacerme respirar profundo
ya me trae por la izquierda
y de pelea com el mundo
si pudiera exorcizarme de tu voz
si pudiera escaparme de tu nombre
si pudiera arrancarme el corazón
y esconderme para no sentirme nuevamente
coro/chorus
ojerosa, flaca, fea, desgreñada,
torpe, tonta, lenta, necia, desquiciada,
completamente descontrolada
tu te das cuenta y no me dices nada
ves que se me hEvuelto
la cabeza un nido
donde solamente tu tienes asilo
y no me escuchas lo que te digo
mira bien lo que vas a hacer conmigo

Ocatavo Dú} (Eighth Day) : Listen...
Written&Produced by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish )
the eighth day God after so much work
to free tensions already revising
he said everything's fine and it's and hour of resting
and he left for a walk in given space
who could have imagined that the same God upon returning
would find everything in a hellish disorder
and that one more he will be unemployed
joining the rate annually growing without stopping
for that then who has seen him
alone in the streets and traffic
he's waiting for somebody patient
one who's calm
and can converse
while so much of this happens the world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess pieces
I'm not the idiot's class
that allows you to convince, but I say the truth
and until a blind man can see it
if for lack of occupation
or excessive solitude
God didn't resist more
and left to another place
it would be our perdition
there would not be another remedy more
to adore Michael Jackson
Bill Clinton or Tarzan
it's more difficult to be a king without a crown
who is a more normal person
poor God doesn't appear in the magazines
is not a model nor an artist nor of a royal family
while so much of this happens the world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess pieces
I'm not the idiot's class
that allows you to convince, but I say the truth
and until a blind man can see it

Si Te Vas (If You Go: Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish )
tell me what you'll do after seeing her body the first time,
when your mischievous curiosity dies,
when you learn by heart her twisted words
and decide again to comeback,
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 come back come one 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 would be the same to me
CHORUS
if you go, if you go, if you leave,
my sky becomes gray,
if you go, if you go
you wont have to come back for me,
if you go, if you go, and change me,
for that witch, piece of trash,
don't come back anymore,
because 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 come back from your hell,
with a tail between you legs,
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 would is now same to me

Dónde Están Los Ladrones? (Where Are the Theives?) : Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
they've seen them around here
they've seen them on the roofs
snooping around Paris
convicting in the courts
with the powdered nose
in a tie or in blue jeans
You've seen them all on the covers of magazines
without anything else to say
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
you've seen them on their knees
sitting or squatting
standing giving lessons
in all the positions
preaching in the churches
until offering concerts
You've seen them in all the bars
distributing ministries
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
Moscas En La Casa (Flies in the House): Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
My days without you are so dark,
so long, so gray,
my days without you are so absurd,
so bitter, so tough,
my days without you,
my days without you don't have nights,
if one night appears,
it's useless to sleep,
my days without you are an excess,
the hours don't have a beginning, or end
so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house
my days without you are like a sky,
without silvery moons,
nor traces of the sun,
my days without you are only an echo,
that always repeats,
the same song
so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house
stumble on the rocks,
still I keep waiting that you'll return to me,
still I keep looking in the faces of the old,
bits of a child,
hunting reasons that make me believe,
that still I meet with life,
biting my fingernails,
drowing in my tears,
missing you so much,
my days without you
oh how they hurt, my days without you
Ciega Sordomuda (Blind,Deaf and Dumb): Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
He finishes the arguement with me,
and the methodology,
each time that it appears in front
of me your anatomy,
because this love doesn't understand,
from the hints, nor the reasons,
It feeds off pretexts,
and is missing its pants,
this love doesn't allow me,
to be on foot,
because even it has broken,
my heels,
although I raise I'll go back down,
if you approach me nothing's useful,
for the useless thing,
CHORUS
brutal, blind, deaf and dumb
clumsy, odd, stubborn,
it's all that I've been,
You've converted me,
into something that doesn't do,
Anything else but love you,
I think of you day and night,
and I don't know how to forget you,
how many times have I tried,
to burn you in my memory,
and although I say no more,
it's again the same story,
because this love always knows how to,
make me breath deep,
it leaves me alone,
to fight with the planet
if I could exorcise myself from your voice,
if I could escape myself from your name,
If only I could wrench out my heart...
And disguise myself so that I wouldn't feel this over again.
CHORUS
rings under the eyes, skinny, ugly, tousled,
clumsy, foolish, slow, touchy, confused,
completely out of control,
you knew but you told me nothing,
you see that I've returned,
you see that my head has turned into a nest,
where only you take shelter,
you don't listen to me,
look what you've done to me

Inevitable : Listen...
Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
if I am to confess
I don't know how to prepare coffee
and I don't understand soccer
I think that one time I was unfaithful
I'm a bad player at Parcheesi
and I never use a watch
and to be frank nobody
thinks of you like I do
although you don't care about it
if it is a question to admit
I never sleep before 10
never take a bath on Sundays
the truth is that I also
cry once a month
mainly when it's cold
for me nothing's easy
you should know
me so well
and without you everything is so boring
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
I don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable
I always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
I should be the first revealing
you'll already know the situation
here everything is worse
but at least I'm still breathing
you don't have to say it
you're not going to come back
I know you well
I'll manage to do alone
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
i don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable or unavoidable
I always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
I should be the first revealing.

Estoy AquE(I am Here) : Listen...
Music by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
I know you won't come back,
everything that was;
Time has left it behind.
I know that you won't return.
What happened between us
will never be repeated.
A thousand years won't be enough
for me to fade your memory
And now I'm here,
Trying to turn valleys into cities
Mixing the Sky and the Sea.
I know I let you escape,
I know I lost you.
Nothing can be the same;
A millennium could be enough for you to forgive
Chorus:
I'm here, loving you,
suffocating,
in photographs and scrapbooks,
in objects and mementos.
I can't comprehend,
I'm driving myself mad.
Changing a foot for
my own face;
This night for a day.
And there's nothing I can do about it.
The letters I wrote,
I never sent.
You didn't want to know of me.
I can't understand
how foolish I was;
It's all the matter of time and faith.
A millennium with another thousand years...
are enough to love
(Repeat Chorus)
If you still think something of me...
You know I'm still waiting for you...
(Repeat Chorus)

I'll award you my waist
and my lips for when you want to kiss
I'll give you my madness
and the few neurons that already remain
my faded shoes
in my diary I write
I'll even give you my sighs
but I don't leave anymore
because you are my sun
the faith that I live with
the power of my voice
the feet that I walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that I won't know how to say
because I won't be able to live without you
if one day you decide
to leave again from here
I would close each door
so that you can't ever leave
I'll give you my silences
I'll give you nose
I'll even give you my bones
please stay here
because you are my sun
the faith that I live with
the power of my voice
the feet that I walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that I won't know how to say

Written by Shakira
(Translate it to English / Spanish)
I'm going to leave
that my guitar says all what I
don't know how to say for me
or maybe it should wait
to the insult of the clock
I have just planned my end
the smiles hurt so much
it costs the world to breathe
it's that not having you here makes me bad
it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotating around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today I am
thinking of you
you should know
that there are pieces of your mouth unintentionally
wanted around here
and that I trip everyday without thinking
with an old memory more
and some new gray history
if I can't be with you
I can no longer be with you
every time it becomes harder to be happy
it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotating around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today I am
thinking of you

I don't believe in chance
I only believe in your blue smile
In your look of crystal

That nobody will love you more than I do.
I don't believe in Venus nor in Mars

If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.
Oh I want to be your sky
Of your mouth, a song
Of your wings, always to be the wind
Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes to where you say you want it to go
That you are my slip, my happy country
My spring
My stairway to heaven
That's why I keep here walking with you
And I could never say no to you

Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes where you want me to
