The Torture (La tortura)

Shakira · Other Songs - Shakira

Alejandro Sanz:

Hey baby girl

Save your poetry

Keep your poems and cheer to yourself



Shakira:

I'm not asking that everyday be sunny

I'm not asking that there to be a party every Friday

Nor do I ask you 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 lets say goodbye



Alejandro Sanz:

I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush

I can't ask an elm 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

But I can make it up to you



Shakira:

Man doesn't live on bread lone

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 lets 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 lone

Nor do I live on excuses



Alejandro Sanz:

We only learn from mistakes

And today I know my heart is yours



Shakira:

Oh after all I've done for you

It was such torture to lose you

It hurts me so that it's like this

Keep on crying sorry

I,

I'm not going to cry over you
