No Lyrics

Sólo tú sabes bien quien soy
Y por eso es tuyo mí corazón
Sólo tú doblas mi razón
Y por eso a donde tú quieras voy

No creo que el mar algún día
Pierda el sabor a sal
No creo en mi todavía
No creo en el azar

Sólo creo en tu sonrisa azul
En tu mirada de cristal
En los besos que me das
Y en todo lo que digas

Sólo tú sabes bien quien soy
Y por eso es tuyo mi corazón
Sólo tú doblas mi razón
Y por eso a donde tú quieras voy
Si hablo demasiado
No dejes de lado
Que nadie más te amará así
Como lo hago yo

No creo en Venus ni en Marte
No creo en Carlos Marx
No creo en Jean Paul Sartre
No creo en Brian Weiss

Sólo creo en tu sonrisa azul
En tu mirada de cristal
En los besos que me das
Y hablen lo que hablen

Sólo tú sabes bien quién soy
Y por eso es tuyo mi corazón
Sólo tú doblas mi razón
Y por eso a donde tú quieras voy
Si hablo demasiado
No dejes de lado
Que nadie más te amará así
Como lo hago

Quiero ser tu firmamento
De tu boca una canción
De tus alas siempre ser el viento

Tu terrón de sal
Un rayo de sol
Que a donde digas que tú
Quieras que yo vaya voy
Eres mi desliz, mi país feliz
Mi primavera
Mi escalera al cielo si
Por eso sigo aquí y camino
Contigo a tí nunca podría decirte que no

Sólo tú sabes bien quien soy
Y por eso es tuyo mi corazón
Sólo tú doblas mi razón
Y por eso a donde tú quieras voy

Tu terrón de sal
Un rayo de sol
Que a donde digas que tú quieres
Que yo vaya voy
Eres mi desliz, mi país feliz
Mi primavera
Mi escalera al cielo

Si hablo demasiado
No dejes de lado
Que nadie más te amará así
Como lo hago

Octavo Dia Lyrics

El octavo día Dios después de tanto trabajar
Para liberar tensiones luego ya de revisar
Dijo todo esta muy bien es hora de descansar
Y se fue a dar un paseo por el espacio sideral

Quien se iba a imaginar que el mismo Dios al regresar
Iba a encontrarlo todo en un desorden infernal
Que se iba a convertir en un desempleado mas
De la tasa que anualmente esta creciendo 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

Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira sin poderlo detener
Y aquí abajo unos cuantos nos manejan
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 mas
Y se marchara a otro lugar
Seria nuestra perdición
No habría otro remedio mas
Que adorar a Michael Jackson
A Bill Clinton o a Tarzan

Es mas dificil ser rey sin corona
Que una persona mas normal
Pobre de Dios que no sale en revistas
Que no es modelo ni artista o de familia real

Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira
Sin poderlo detener
Y aqui abajo unos cuantos nos manejan
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

Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira
Sin poderlo detener
Y aqui abajo unos cuantos nos manejan
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

Octavo Dia

This is a satire on life and how materialistic humanity has become. In the song (translated as "Eighth Day"), God takes a break from creating the Earth and when He comes back, he is surprised at how people forgot Him all of a sudden.

23 Lyrics

Everybody needs an anchor
A little something that makes you stay
An incentive
Someone to fight for
Cause no one really needs so much space
A couple years ago I was lonely
I used to think that there was no God
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
And my agnosticism turned into dust
How well you know me
That I don’t care if the rest don’t
It doesn’t matter to me, no
As long as you love me
As long as we still have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

God knows that I’m a good dancer
My feet can move to the music he plays
But there were times I asked for an answer
When he was acting in mysterious ways

There were nights that I stayed up crying
'Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
But then you came and I saw you smiling
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

And then you touched me
It's like you were made for me, oh
Like it was all meant to be, oh
And I was sure that you would love me
And that we'd always have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey, do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do, as I did then
When you were only 23

Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
It was you, that one piece I was missing
And I could do without you but it'd be no fun
I found you and life was suddenly easy
There ain't no worries now
There ain't no feeling down

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey, do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do, as I did then
When you were only 23

23

Shakira wrote this guitar-based song for her partner, Spanish footballer Gerald Pique, who was 23 when they first met on a video shoot for her song "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)."

"Hey, do you believe in destiny?" she asks in the chorus. "Cause I do as I did then, when you were only 23."

"It took me many years to get to where I am in my life now," Shakira told The Sun. "I wasn't fulfilled or satisfied and I think Gerard was the missing link. And as the song says, he was only 23 when I met him and I was concerned about the age gap as I was 33."

The song ends with a chuckle from their son Milan, who happened to make his way into the studio as Shakira was recording the track.

The One Thing Lyrics

Every morning when I woke up
I was choked up
I was leaving without a purpose
Always jumping all the hurdles
Doing circles in the dark with a broken compass

I can't explain the way it feels
I could trip on my own words
I make mistakes, that's much is clear
But I made it here my love
Yeah I made it here my love

You are The One Thing that I got right
It's a big ol' world, yeah, it's a big ol' world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

One thing I got right
One thing I got right

Every morning when you wake up
I wanna hold you
I just need to be wrapped around you
It's kinda funny when you think that you just got here
Now I know I can't live without you

I can't explain the way it feels
I could choke my own words
Sometimes it seems like it ain't real
Like you're really here my love, yeah, you're really here my love

You're the one thing that I got right
It's a big ol' world, yeah, it's a big ol' world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

Every time I see your smile
Every time I hear your laugh
Baby you bring in new sunshine over now
You are the little dream
Ever since I was a child
My fairytale comes true when I look at your face
May not be here forever
But it'll be a long road together
I already know
We're gonna be fine, fine, fine
We're gonna be just fine, fine, fine

You are the one thing that I got right
It's a big ol' world, yeah, it's a big ol' world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

You're the one thing that I got right
And if mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You're the one thing that I got right

One thing I got right
One thing I got right

Whenever, Wherever Lyrics

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Luck 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

There over, here under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But 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 that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

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
But 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
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

There over, here under
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, Wherever

Shakira is from Columbia, and Spanish is her native language. The Spanish version of this is called "Suerte," which means "Luck."

This was Shakira's first album recorded in English.

Shakira was a star in Latin America, but this was her first hit in English-speaking countries. The video for this, which was directed by Francis Lawrence, became a huge hit on MTV and introduced her to a new set of fans.

Gloria Estefan wrote this with Shakira. Estefan has had tremendous success recording in both English and Spanish, but like Shakira, her core fan base is Spanish-speaking.

The song is about being willing to travel the world in order to be with a distant lover. Most of the songs Shakira writes are about love.

This was written in Spanish, and the Spanish lyrics are more meaningful. The English translation is a little goofy, with lines like "Lucky my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains." The lack of lyrical depth did not hurt, as the beat, the chorus, and the video made this a hit.

One of the key instruments are Andean pan flutes. They are common in Arabic music, which is a big influence on Shakira.

After this was released, Shakira's boyfriend was the subject of a great deal of controversy. She was dating Antonio De La Rua, the son of Argentinean president Fernando De La Rua, who resigned in December, 2001 with Argentina's economy in turmoil. On his last day in office, 5 protesters were shot by police guarding the presidential palace, which enraged Argentines as well as many other Latin Americans. Considering Shakira guilty by association, Tower Records refused to sell her CD at the request of the president of Tower Records Argentina. The younger De La Rua wrote speeches for his father. He was in the video for another song on the album called "Underneath Your Clothes."
