Lyrics : Antologia – Shakira

Spanish English
Para amarte To love you
necesito una razón I need a reason
Y es difícil creer que no exista And it’s hard to believe that it doesn’t exist
una más que este amor other than this love
Sobra tanto There is a lot left
Dentro de este corazón Inside this heart
Y a pesar de que dicen Beside of what they say
que los años son sabios That the years are wisdom
todavía se siente el dolor I still feel pain
Porque todo el tiempo Because all the time
que pasé junto a ti I spent near you
Dejó tejido su hilo dentro de mi left its thread, woven in me
Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo los segundos And I learned to take out seconds from time…
Tú mi hiciste You made me
ver el cielo aún más profundo see the sky deeper
Junto a ti creo By your side I think
Que aumenté más de 3 kilos I gained 3 pounds
Con tus tantos dulces besos repartidos With your sweet kisses you gave me
Desarollaste mi sentido You developed my sense
del olfato of smell
Y fue por ti que And because of you
aprendí a querer los gatos I learned to like cats
Despegaste del cemento You freed my shoes
mis zapatos from the pavement,
Para escapar So both could escape
los dos volando un rato flying for a while
Pero olvidaste But you forgot
Una final instrucción One last instruction
Porque aún no se Because I don’t know
Cómo vivir sin tu amor How to live without your love yet
Y descubrí lo que I learned
significa una rosa the significance of a rose
Me enseñaste a decir You taught me
mentiras piadosas how to tell white lies
Para poder a verte So I could see you
a horas no adecuadas at improper hours
Y a reemplazar palabras And to replace words
por miradas with a gaze
Y fue por ti que escribí más And it was because of you
de 100 canciones that I wrote more than 100 songs
Y hasta perdoné tus I even forgave
Equivocaciones your mistakes
Y conocí más de mil formas de besar And I discovered a thousand ways to kiss
y fue por ti que descubrí And because of you, I know
lo que es amar… what it is to love…
lo que es amar… what it is to love…
