Lyrics of La Tortura - Shakira, Alejandro Sanz

La Tortura (original)

Ay payita mia
Guardate la poesia
Gurdate la alegria pa'ti
No pido que todos los dias sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdon
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que te fueras sin decir a donde
Ay amor fue una tortura perderte
Yo se que no he sido un santo pero lo puedo arreglar amor
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Solo de errores se aprende y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazon
Don't even try, don't even bother
I won't take, I don't want, I don't buy it, so long
No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que no creas mas en mis promesas
Ay amor
Es una tortura
Perderte
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Solo de errores se aprende y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazon
Don't even try, don't even bother
I won't take, I don't want, I don't buy it, so long
No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Dejame el sabado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues mas
Porque alla afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Y es que no estoy hecho de carton
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazon
Aaaaay... Aaaaay... Aaaaay... Ay Ay
Ay todo lo que he hecho por ti
Fue una tortura perderte
Me duele tanto que sea asi
Sigue llorando perdon
Yo, yo no voy a llorar hoy por ti

(translation)

Oh payita mia
save the poetry
Save the joy for you
I do not ask that every day be sunny
I do not ask that every Friday be a party
Nor do I ask you to come back begging for forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes
And speaking of her
oh love it hurts me so much
It hurts so much
That you leave without saying where
Oh love, it was torture to lose you
I know that I have not been a saint but I can fix it love
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
You only learn from mistakes and today I know that my heart is yours
Don't even try, don't even bother
I won't take, I don't want, I don't buy it, so long
I can't ask winter to forgive a rosebush
I can't ask elms to deliver pears
I can't ask for the eternal from a simple mortal
And go around throwing thousands of pearls to the pigs
oh love it hurts me so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer believe in my promises
Oh Love
It's torture
lose you
I know that I have not been a saint
But I can fix it, love
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
You only learn from mistakes and today I know that my heart is yours
Don't even try, don't even bother
I won't take, I don't want, I don't buy it, so long
Don't get down, don't get down
Hey black look, don't back down
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Leave Saturday to me, which is better
Hey my black don't punish me anymore
Because out there without you I have no peace
I'm just a very sorry man
I am like the bird that returns to its nest
I know that he has not been a saint
And I'm not made of cardboard
You say you love me like no other
But you can't live on bread alone
Only from mistakes you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
Aaaaay... Aaaaay... Aaaaay... Ay Ay
Oh everything I've done for you
It was torture losing you
It hurts me so much that it's like this
keep crying sorry
I, I'm not going to cry today for you
