La Tortura (feat. Shakira)

Oh, my friend, keep the poetry for yourself
Keep the joy for yourself

Come, give it to me!

I'm not asking for every day to be sunny
I'm not asking for every Friday to be a party
And I'm not asking you to come back begging for forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes and talk about her

Oh, love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you left without saying where
Oh, love, losing you was torture

I know I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, love
Man does not live by bread alone
And I don't live by excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
You better keep all that to yourself
Tell it to someone else
And we say goodbye

This is again and this is again
This is again, this is again

I can't ask winter to forgive a rosebush
I can't ask elms to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal from a mere mortal
And throw thousands of pearls to the pigs

Oh, love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer believe in my promises
Oh, love, losing you is torture

I know I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, love
Man does not live by bread alone
And I don't live by excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
You better keep all that to yourself
Tell it to someone else
And we say goodbye

Come, give it to me!

Don't give up, don't give up
Listen, my dear, don't give up
From Monday to Friday, you have my love
Leave Saturday to me, it's better

Listen, my black girl, don't punish me anymore
Because out there, without you, I have no peace
I'm just a repentant man
I'm like the bird that returns to its nest

I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of cardboard
Man does not live by bread alone
And I don't live by excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, everything I did for you
Losing you was torture
And it hurts so much that it's like this
You keep asking for forgiveness
I, I'm not going to cry for you today
