Shakira - La Tortura ft. Alejandro Sanz English Translation

[Intro: Alejandro Sanz]
Hey baby, save the poetry
Keep your happiness to yourself

[Verse 1: Shakira & Alejandro Sanz]
I don't ask for every day to be sunny
I don't ask for there to be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask that you return to me begging for forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes and talking about her
Oh, my love, it hurts me so much (it hurts me so much)
That you left without telling me where you were going
Oh, my love, it was torture to lose you

[Chorus: Shakira & Alejandro Sanz]
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, love
Man cannot live on bread alone
And I cannot live off of excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know that my heart is yours
It's best if you save all that
Throw that bone to another dog
And we'll say goodbye
[Verse 2: Shakira & Alejandro Sanz]
I can't ask winter to pardon a rose
I can't ask the elm trees to bear pears
I can't ask for eternity from a mere mortal
And walk around throwing thousands of pearls to the pigs
Oh, my love, it hurts so much, it hurts so much
That you don't believe in my promises anymore
Oh, my love, it's torture to lose you

[Chorus: Shakira & Alejandro Sanz]
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, love
Man cannot live on bread alone
And I cannot live off of excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know that my heart is yours
It's best if you save all that
Throw that bone to another dog
And we'll say goodbye

[Bridge: Alejandro Sanz]
Don't leave, don't leave
Hey, baby, look, don't get angry
You have my love from Monday to Friday
But it's best if you leave Saturday to me
Hey, baby, don't punish me anymore
Because out there, without you, I can't find peace
I'm just a regretful man
I'm like a bird that returns to its nest
[Chorus: Shakira & Alejandro Sanz]
I know I haven't been a saint
And it's because I'm not made of stone
Man cannot live on bread alone
And I cannot live off of excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know that my heart is yours

[Outro: Shakira]
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Oh, all that I've done for you
It was torture to lose you
It hurts me so much that it's like this
Keep crying, I'm sorry
But I'm not going to cry for you today
