  • Check out a metal cover on this song by Kartikeya.

  • I think the English Version is better because unless you speak spanish, you won't understand what she is saying, thus not being able to feel the song and understand the meanings of the lyrics. Just my opinion..

  • @BeautifulAyisha  the spanish version is better. GO LEARN SPANISH PERRA ESTUPIDA.

  • Like This Song But I Like The Other One Better.

  • Comment removed

  • She should have recorded an Arabic version of this song since she can speak Arabic!

  • I like both versions but I can't speak Spanish YET so it's good to have a translation :)

  • don't like this version at all! but i love the spanish one :)

  • Ilike the origional language version coz it sounds better but i still like the english one too

  • she be looking like Beyoncé sometimes....a much more unique and original Beyoncé with ideas and creativity all her very own and not other peoples that's been ripped off of and away from of course. Love me some Shakira...

  • @LibranWay Shut up

  • se oye como ñata!

  • I like both versions.

  • my dance song but in spanish

    

  • prefiero el espanol....

  • very beautifulpicturesof shaki, love her music, i'm a big fan, especially of this album and donde estan los ladrones.

  • most of shakira's music is better in Spanish, in my opinion..but it's still a good song (:

  • lol i'm happy that i can speak arabic

  • Fuck it,this song brings some good old memories back :D

  • Hottier and sexier than ever: - naked ladygaga. NET - -

  • KnowhereMan123@ it means

    the god of the sky my hope is you .... in her eyes i see my life .... please god answer me ^^

  • Anyone who likes this song should check out the Spanish version, "Ojos Asi", it's way better, even if you don't know Spanish.

  • Anyone who likes this song should check out the Spanish version... it's way better imo.

  • Did Shakira sing the English version?

  • SHAKIRA ARABIC! HAHA NICE!

    IM ARABIC TOO,BUT I SPEAK THE ARABIC FROM MOROCCO,NOT THE ARABIC OF LIBANON,ARABIC HAS MANY DIFFERENCES

  • @achmedos That's true. My Father is from Saudia Arabia, and we have a slightly rougher way of pronouncing words.

  • @Nouarara do you understand me: salam ma3likoum,kif halouk? an rani mezjan,ana ken 7hob shakira,hiya zwinaa bezef!

    beslama

  • @achmedos Peace be to you, how are you? '' '' shakira.

    Goodbye

    I'd prefer if you didn't do it phonically, you see, cause some of the words I don't understand.

  • @Nouarara i sad, how are you, im well,i love shakira cause she is very beautiful

    Bye

  • Palestinians and Jews both have good claim to the land. learn to live together or GTFO

  • @astrobiologistMirna I never talked about Palestinians and their land, dummy. Where the hell did I talk about hating Arabs? You're just stupid who brings up unwanted shit.

    The Arab language is the language that I don't like, NOT its people, for fuck's sake. And not all of it, just the annoying Lebanese, Jordan and Syrian ones (*PUKES*). I quite like Iraqi, Egyptian, Kuwaiti accent.

    The one in this video was Lebanese - ew. Btw, we don't want Arabic in Latin music, totally unfitting.

  • ARABIC-SPANISH-ENGLISH love that

  • I love Shakira but the spanish version is more poetic and has better vocals

  • I never heard the English version before until now. While it's beautiful too and I enjoy hearing the translation from her mouth, the Spanish version, in my opinion, delivers a more powerful, confident hypnotic sway, a seductive dance to the ears and it flows with the beauty of the Arabic language a lot better 'cause it matches the pace of something forbidden yet holy that one can't help but want. Loved it as a child, love it more now. Geez, eargasm fits well with this! I wanna marry this song.

  • @Persona100Duh Wow amazing comment =]

  • @pinitaacaramelada -blushes- Aw, thanks! I tend to let my "fangirl side" out now and again in comments if I love something. XD

  • @Persona100Duh also, her voice kinda sounds better in Spanish, maybe because she feels more confident singing in Spanish...

  • @Aly96Bg Well, she is from Columbia. Could be that too, yeah! She definitely sounds better in Spanish. :3

  • @Persona100Duh Very true about the arabic version, seriously, I couldn't agree more, that's what I thought even before seeing this comment

  • @Persona100Duh Ella suena mejor en espanol en todas ella canciones.

  • love it if you hear this you want to dance :D haha

  • when her music were actually good, much, MUCH better than now

  • i love the buildup from 3:00 and then the massive perscussion in 3:16 and onwards.

  • Where can i get the panish version??? :S

  • The disgusting Arabic bit ruins it.

  • @UpwardsFallings It makes the song sucka!

  • @UpwardsFallings fuck you, arabic is a beautiful language, you racist fuck

  • @melissakafie No motherfucker, it's disgusting. Language of the dirty terrorists like the foul mouthed fuckers like yourself. Bitch!

  • spanish version is larger better

  • @pourquoicamarchepas i think it too... maybe cause when she recorded this song its english was a bit ugly (but not like mine xD)... and then this song was written especially for the spanish version... so adapting it to english is not so easy...

  • This song sounds WAY better in Spanish (most of her songs do imo) Her voice sounds more powerful and confident, and besides, it's a beautiful, harmonious language. Ojos asi is amazing!!!

  • shes half lebanese, her father are from lebanon ;)

  • SHES LATINA!

  • Uh no. Spanish version is the best.

  • @bajoink0 i agree

  • I love this song!! Check out my bellydancing on it:)

  • great song n she sounds so nice whoo shakira live 4ever

  • check out my lyrics vid for this :)

  • Es M I L L O N E S de veces mejor en español ! :D

    En ingles pierde completamente el ritmo :S

  • I actually prefer the english version (that's a first haha), but I like the spanish one too.

  • yah shakira can sing arabic fluently coz shes from lebanon and lebanese speaks arabic also....i knew that coz im working in lebanese school here in dubai

  • Like it but way better in Spanish!! Y vi pasar... tus ojos negros!! Y ahora sí que no puedo vivir sin ellos...yo... le pido al cielo sólo un deseo, que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir :D

  • @ibanezmejiamaria  Sii estoy completamente de acuerdo con tigo!

  • I like the Spanish version better

  • intelejente

  • the best song for shakira

  • shakira is half lebanese :)

  • Shakira is way talented!

  • me gusta mucho mas la de en español pero en el nuevo disco me gustan mucho mas las del ingles..XD esq en estos discos anteriores ah she wolf pensaban en las canciones en español i luego la traducian en ingles pero en she wolf piensan en ingles i depues en español..u.u

  • LOL WOW she sang in Arabic! loved it.

  • Gao I love this song and always have! I LOVE the music and the words rock so hardcore cuz they are so true!!!! ♥</3♥

  • The spanish version suck

  • @cunswaylow is the original big idiot!!! she's Colombian-spanish

    isgreat that version!!(spanish)

  • The spanish/ Arabic version has much better singing. I don't know why she is sing like this just because it is in english. Maybe this was back when she was not quite so fluent in english, therefore being uncomfortable singing in english?

  • On her website she says that it's Classical Arabic (in which she is fluent).

  • Really Good Turn On Music

  • i have arabic friends, and they say thats not arabic :S sorry my english, im spanish xD

  • Your english is fine :-)

    One time my arab (christian) schoolmate saw a passage of the koran/coran/qur'an that i was reading and he tried to read it too. He said that it's not arabic...of course the koran is in arabic! But classical arabic is not like modern standard arabic at all. It has to be studied in depth in order to be understood, even by native-born arabs.

    example: it's like somebody from modern England or the US trying to read Shakespeare without any prior knowledge of the language.

  • @nka82 ...i'm not really ok with you, there is no great difference between ancient and modern arabic, it's really the same,...the difference is between the litterary arabic and the arabic spoken....especially in the Maghreb région,...but shakira speaks a good arabic in that song that could be understood by anyone.....

  • @hamadrez well excuse me, im sorry that my existence and post aren't pleasing to you Sir Busybody. The fact is that all languages evolve across time and across distance, and I know what I posted over a year ago is fact. Therefore I stand by my original post.

  • P.S. i forgot to say that even modern standard arabic is something that arabs have to learn and study in school.....because each region has its own dialect. so if someone has never formally studied proper arabic and only speak an egyptian or a syrian dialect, then the arabic lyrics in shakira's song might not sound like what they're used to.

  • claro que no es 100% arabico la cancion tiene influencias arabes, ocupa instrumentos arabes, pero ademas la cancion contiene rock y pop es una mezcla de estilos.

  • OMG from 3:18 to 3:26 she sings arabic very fluently

  • @monaJolly omg! really? I always wanted to know that but none of my friends speak arabic lol ..thank you <:]

  • @pinitaacaramelada ... u do kno tht she is half lebaneas she should talk arabic fluently but thnx i saw the whole thing cooz of ur comment :)

  • @monaJolly She is part Lebanese! Should be able to speak Arabic!

  • @monaJolly she IS arabic lol

  • @pandakicker *Arab*

  • @monaJolly Yeah I know beautiful right :D

    Listen Ojos Asì SO IMPRESSIVE!

  • i suppose the other version is way more sensual, which is why i kinda prefer it when i belly dance.

  • I don't know if I prefer the spanish version or the english version...

    Anyway, I like both !

  • Agreed, both versions are great.
