La Tortura [English translation]

[Sanz:]

Sweetheart, keep your poems for yourself,

Keep your cheeriness for yourself

(Dame, dame, dámelo, oh.)

Give, give , give it to me , oh.

[Shakira:]

I'm not asking that every day is sunny,

I'm not asking for a party every Friday

Neither do I ask that you come back, begging for forgiveness

If you cry with dry eyes, and speaking of her.

Oh, my love, it hurts so much.

[Sanz:]

It hurts so much.

[Shakira:]

That you left without saying where you're going,

Oh, my love. It was a torture-

Losing you.

[Sanz:]

I know that I haven't been a saint,

But I can fix it, my love

[Shakira:]

Mankind cannot live on bread alone,

And I can't live on excuses.

[Sanz:]

We only learn from mistakes,

And today I know that my heart is yours

[Shakira:]

You need to keep that to yourself

Give that bone to another dog, and we say goodbye.

[Sanz:]

This is again this is over NO

[Shakira:]

I cannot ask that winter pardons a rose bush,

I cannot ask that an elm tree bears pears

I can't ask of immortality to a simple mortal

And cast a thousand pearls before swine

[Sanz:]

Oh, my love, it hurts so much (it hurts me so much)

That you no longer believe in my promises

[Shakira:]

Oh, my love

[Sanz:]

It's a torture-

[Shakira:]

Losing you

[Sanz:]

I know that I haven't been a saint,

But I can fix it, love

[Shakira:]

Mankind cannot live on bread alone,

And I can't live on excuses.

[Sanz:]

We only learn from mistakes,

And today I know that my heart is yours

[Shakira:]

You need to keep that to yourself

Give that bone to another dog, and we say goodbye.

[Sanz:]

Don't go, don't go,

Oh, listen to me baby, don't run

From Monday to Friday you have my love,

Leave me Saturday, it's better that way

Listen, baby, don't punish me anymore

Because without you, I have no peace.

I'm just a very repentant man,

I'm like a bird that goes back to its nest

(Yo se que no he sido un santo

Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón.)

I know I have not been a saint

and I am not made of cardboard.

[Shakira:]

Mankind cannot live on bread alone,

And I can't live on excuses.

[Sanz:]

We only learn from mistakes,

And today I know that my heart is yours

[Shakira:]

Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay

Ay, all that I've done for you

It was a torture to lose you,

It hurts me so much that it's like so

Keep crying, "sorry"

I will not cry for you anymore
