La Tortura (English) Lyrics - Shakira

1 Oh my baby girl

2 Keep all of your poetry

3 Keep your happiness to yourself

4 (Give it, give it to me)

5 I don't ask that every day be sunny

6 I don't ask that there be party every Friday

7 Neither do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness

8 If you're crying with dry eyes, and talking about her

9 Oh my love, it hurts so much

10 It hurts so much

11 That you could leave without saying where

12 Oh my love, it was a torture to lose you

13 I know that I haven't been a saint

14 But I can't help it baby

15 Bread alone can't feed a man

16 And I can't live off excuses

17 Only from mistakes does one learn

18 And today I know that my heart is yours

19 Better that you keep it to yourself

20 Find another dog with that bone and let's say goodbye

21 (With seven candles I will invoke you

22 Beautiful things, I drag another candle)

23 I cannot ask winter to spare a rose bush

24 I cannot ask the elm trees to bear pears

25 I cannot ask the eternal of a mere mortal

26 Nor go about casting to the pigs thousands of pearls

27 Oh my love, it hurts so much

28 It hurts so much

29 That you don't trust more in my promises

30 Oh my love, it is a torture to lose you

31 I know that I haven't been a saint

32 But I can't help it, baby

33 Bread alone cannot feed a man

34 And I can't live off excuses

35 Only from mistakes does one learn

36 And today I know that my heart is yours

37 Better that you keep it to yourself

38 Find another dog with that bone and let's say goodbye

39 Don't go, baby, don't go, baby

40 Listen baby, watch, don't go baby

41 From Monday to Friday you have my love

42 Give me Saturday and you'll be better off

43 Listen baby, don't punish me anymore

44 Without you, babe, out there I have no peace

45 I'm just a repentant man

46 I'm the bird that returns to its nest

47 I know I haven't been a saint

48 And I am not made of cardboard

49 Bread alone can't feed a man

50 And I can't live off excuses

51 Only from mistakes does one learn

52 And today I know that my heart is yours

53 Ay...Ay...Ay ay ay...

54 Ay, I have done everything for you

55 It was a torture losing you

56 It hurts so much that I've become so

57 Keep in crying

58 But I'm not going to cry...for you.
