Shakira-la tortura with english translation

[lovekillsslowly97]

Our spanish teacher had us watch this today :) Love the song. Though there is one wrong translation. Haha thought I might point it out :)

[ayundame]

Another translation: "dias de fiesta" means holidays, so she's not asking that every Friday be a holiday

[honeybearmom1]

I loved the song b4 but now that I just read the english translation I love it even more. Thanx

[michkay1]

The words, now that I can see them in English, are amazing!! "Man cannot live on bread alone, nor can I on excuses." Love it!

[Cutesies1]

I'm listening to do while doing my spanish homework :)

[Mrargeny809]

Why do the Gringos think that everyone who speaks Spanish is from Mexico?. O_o

[PiscesGal]

@Mrargeny809 No idea, dude.

[17lalalalalala]

@Mrargeny809 Pues algunos son bastante ignorantes los pobrecillos!

[nickArts120]

Shakira is from Colombia bro, she's not mexican ¬¬

[Amethystiii]

This song is so much beter in spanisch!

[ProSharpshooter]

I could listen to this song for hours <3

[91keya09]

Wow! first time watchin w/ subtitles, had no clue the words dont rhyme in english!!! lol feels like a whole new song now that i know what they sayin tho!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cl4g]

Mucho Gusto !!!

[1994AIC]

I'm no where near Spanish, actually I'm all Italian & I <3 This song!!!!!!

[mayosandwitch]

my friend loves this song in math she singed it out loud

[evicaf4e]

why she has on this picture one green and one brown eye?

[TheDollfaceCourtney]

I thought this song was kind of sexual because the way the video is, lol. I'm dumb. Glad I know what they're really saying now and I love it even more :))

[amitk750i]

<3 Her

[pashun88]

I like the song even more now that I know the lyrics.

[LariLarissa123]

It's a european thing. You know aie aïe aïe in french, yeppp. It's aïe.

[chibi1613]

actually, this was one of the best overall translations i've seen of this song- bravo

[pinksugarcandy1]

She siad ay aye aye not hay hay hay.

[Triizmiie]

@pinksugarcandy1 its not aye, nor hay, its ay, I can assure you that.

[MISERABLE66]

carton doesnt mean stone.  it means cardboard.

[MrHBKHBKHBK]

isnt perras bitches?

[nisarccp]

live performance is better than the official video ..

[y0rk1e117]

Man... I freaked out my friends in soccer by sayin parts of this song. 8D

[hartjeafellay]

Omg thanks for the translation!! Love the song

[Love89571]

I love this song, and I don't know what she or he is singing. You don't have to understand the song to love the song. Spanish is awesome. :)

[biebsluvz]

i go from the spanish lyrics cause im Latina and THAT awesome!! ONDE ESATAN TODAS MIS LATINAS?!?!?!?!?!?!

[kayeldee1]

i have a question: im begging spanish two in school and i leaned that 'Hay" means there... but in the the song it doesn't make sence.

do i have the wrong transilation or does that just not translate well into english but makes sence in spanish?

[biebsluvz]

@kayeldee1 well "ayi" means there and in this song it means like OMG or something meaning the same as OMG :D hope that helped enough! :DD

[hyadarko]

@kayeldee1 "hay" is a form from the verb "haber" (have) "ahi" is like "there" and in the song it's misspelled it's "¡ay!" that is like a little cry of pain

[negrotious]

regardless of whether shes mexican or columbian, its spanish music.

[Tivionte504]

IAM IN LOVE WITH DIS SONG

[timothy8747]

La tortura, can make a man turn to mud, The way she move her body! And the way she look into you.

[timothy8747]

La tortura, can a man turn mud, The way she move her body!

[hossam1863]

nice song .. from egypt..

[LariLarissa123]

Take that Bone to some other dog?! LOOL 

[crojalwol]

@LariLarissa123 Is a spanish expression lol

[13demayorobcumple]

@LariLarissa123 its a Colombian expression!

[MrPrashanth007]

this lyrics make me horny.....

[aliyahrennz13]

me: what?

friend: i think its a mexican song

me: i dont listen to mexican music

me:( plays it for the first time:

me: HEYYYYY I DONT LISTEN TO MEXICAN MUSIC BUT ILL MAKE AN EXEPTION

LAATORTURAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHHAAAA

[Alex17Col]

@aliyahrennz13 ¬¬ She's not Mexican, shes's Colombian

[13demayorobcumple]

@aliyahrennz13 she is Colombian!! and he is Spanish!!

[gorran33]

i think i just jizzed^^

[codmalt]

This proves that music doesnt need translation. I dont know a word but i love it!

[TheWhat018]

fave song favorita cancon

[cutiexXx4]

i learned alot of Spanish from this video

[Zico10101010]

@cutiexXx4 tortura ftw lol

[rabiosa12]

i hope the translation was in french because it's more suitable for spanish

[babyjuicycream]

@Jackiesingz ikr some people should really learn

[MissKawaii98]

i thought tortura means torture but perderte means torture. Im confiuse ://

[Derek1986forever]

@MissKawaii98 No...you are right. Tortura means torture. Perderte means lost. I guess it would be better for the meaning of the song to write "losing you is a torture" than "is a torture losing you". Just a guess...but yes, it's confusing the way is written! :)

But despite that, thanks so much for the translation!!! It's amazing!!!

[amoraodio]

@MissKawaii98 What happens is that if he puts the order which said the song would not make much sense. I know Spanish because it is my language, and sometimes the translations cannot be done literally because it would make sense . From my point of view, this video is a great translation, but had some errors but it was wrong based on some part of the song in Spanish. Not valid for me.

[MissKawaii98]

Spanish is a hard and unique language , I wanna learn spanish sadly T^T

[InfectiousRobert]

@MissKawaii98 It's hard, but worth it:]

[amoraodio]

[Amiraap]

[ayanatsumae]

[laanchika12]

@liliy836 Omg those chain letters are so annoying I read a hundred of them and nothing happened I'm still alive :p

[liliy836]

[Sandra90Kanarevo]

but thanks for the translation though, 'cause it's still nice to know what you sing (even if you liked not to know it either)

[heyitsmehyuppers]

i knew the basic about the song

man does not live on bread nor i on excuses

lol good jog shakira for not falling for that bullshit men try feeding us all the tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[salvatorechick1]

i love shakira i think i broke my replay button

[freakmebabyboi]

Shakira still you manage to be so amazing and enchanting after all these years. I look forward to many more years you talented mind XD

[tr2beuty]

@angiebabie200 & @princessradtech: I'm not going to judge. I live in Puerto Rico were everyone speaks Spanish, and it was hard for me to learn English. But now that I know it, I kinda prefer it more than Spanish (even though I'm very proud of my Latin roots). America is pretty big and not everyone speaks English. In South and Central America most speak Spanish. I wasn't criticizing anyone, and I'm not trying to change your minds. I ♥ Shakira, and i think we all agree on that.

[angiebabie2000]

I LOVE THIS SONG

Te amo es musica

I know I have bad spanish my english is WAY better but yeah I can now understand the words

When you speak mostly English if I have a translation when I hear it again I'll not only understand but be able to speak it

[wapagold]

@angiebabie2000 do you know what you wrote; Te amo es musica?

[princessradtech]

@tr2beuty I hope you realize that some of us Americans HARDLY EVER see or speak to anyone who speaks Spanish. The last time I spoke to a person of that dialect I was in Puerto Rico on vacation( and yes I learned a small amount of Spanish to be able to communicate if needed), where I'm from we speak French as a second language, not Spanish. It's great to be bilingual but don't judge the world because of it. I will give you that Shakira has done an amazing job of breaking the language barrier wit

[Tumealicious21]

It's strange, I have listened to this song so many times... now it's strange to know what it actually means :-)

thanks for translating

[tr2beuty]

It's so great how i know Spanish 'cause I'm from the Caribbean...It's really great to be bilingual. It's so funny how some Americans don't know Spanish, but everyone else in the world just have to learn English. A little selfish, huh? Shakira is one of the few artists that have made the cross from Spanish to English in music and has actually succeeded. Her, and Jennifer Lopez....but i like her more.

[angiebabie2000]

@tr2beuty

Actually here in America we're sorf of being forced to speak Spanish not that there's anything wrong wit dat it's just it's AMERICA we've been speaking English for centuries but now we're turning bilingual which is hard on a person like me cause I don't speak spanish nor do I want to

I'm monolingual I don't want to learn a new language

[nemeziz1105]

@angiebabie2000.....here in AMERICA? English has been spoken for centuries in The United States of America...but Spanish has been spoken far longer in Central AMERICA and South AMERICA....AMERICA is not just the US...just schooling you on a fact that many people tend to be ignorant of or just simply ignore...be good

[mikejessmax]

@angiebabie2000 Doesn't matter wat language, learn 2 speak a 2nd 1... it's beneficial for d brain & no 1 will make fun of u in DAT particular language. Let's c: The spanish speakin' part of America ( d side of d world not USA) was discovered around 1492. USA was discovered in 1700's... we spanish speakers got 300 yrs on ya'll anglo speakers.

[Derek1986forever]

I liked that song without understanding what it was talking about!!! Now I really LOVE it!!!!! Thank you so much for posting it!!!!

[reknae]

I speak some spanish, and I thought I understood this song. Turns out I didn't. At all O.o And I thought I loved this song. Now I'm totally obsessed with it.

[ZZ0mBi33]

Im Hispanic, I Have Got To Learn Spanish Though! xD

[OceanWolfpup01]

I've listened to this song, what 37 times in a row now?

[DiggySimmonsWife2011]

I don't know what the Hell their saying but I love it

[laupii1]

Nice but....

Where is the english translation?

[clubpenguindoll]

@laupii1 It's in Spanish but the lyrics on the bottom are English.

[zippyloop]

fue una tortuna=was a torture

perderte=losing you.

not losing you was a torture.

but everything else is good.

[MegaBlackAngel01]

i never heard this song in english, its wierd when i heard it in english lol

[HollandxCupCake]

@henrywasocki they also say it's fake, if i were you i wouldn't make an account.

[SaKuRa21TAM]

Fond of downloading videos from youtube but hates the slow paced process? Keen on listening to mp3's (still, on youtube) but dislikes the knotty process of manually recording it? The youtube url grabber is definitely the tool for you! youtubeurlgrabber.co.cc

[euphrcdaydrm20]
