no sabia que hizo la version en ingles, pero debo decir que no me gusto nada y no es por el idioma porque hay canciones de ella en ingles que me encantan como "underneath your clothes" o "whenever wherever" tengo la ligera sospecha de que a ella también le gusta mas la versión en español.
@DRm2mon because arab world in Asia begin from bahrain from the east and ends in lebanon from the west, but the real question is: Did she forget that there are arab countries in Africa? maybe because she is lebanese she wants to mention her country xD
I live in Bahain. It is in the middle east. And when a friend of mine said that Shakira once lived in Bahrain. I was like tottal bullsh**. but now I'm like OMG
@Kayla3775 Full Columbian? Shakira? She's half Lebanese. .....her father's name is 'William Mebarak Chadid', does that sound even Latin to you, smart ass?
@waterdragon208 no she's not.she's full blooded columbian.she just likes to have the feel for other cultures,mostly the ones who struggle and are in poverty.That's why she makes so many charity donations n vistits so many places.She's had songs where she gets people from other countries to sing with her.I guess this time she decided to use the Arabic people.
Io la ballo nel mio esercizio di ritmica e la adoro... è bellissima!!!!!!! Grande Shakira, il nostro saggio sarà perfetto (cerchi permettendo)...!!! Però io la ballo remixata....
I liked Laundry Service, all the songs were great and had arabic theme to it unlike her new songs. I started disliking her when she did that song with Beyonce.
so grow up infact i have no idea what this arguement is about just go have an arguement somewhere else i don't want to read ur small minded comments when i am trying to enjoy Shakiras music
She was born in Columbia (thats where she gets her spanish from) and her father is lebonese (thats where her dancing and arabic comes from)(i think thats it, correct me if arabic is the wrong language) just to clarify
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Plus, your canadian. That country is full of whores. So thats pretty fucking hypocritical. And before you say anything, i'm English. So not much of a bad name is said.
Basically, i'm saying, back the fuck off people you don't know. You just look like a twat who gets pleasure out of being pathetic via youtube. (Y)
She is 100% colombian born, so you really don't have to say lies about it. She went to a school in her hometown Barranquilla Colombia.............. So you are completely wrong. Sorry for you.
@121martin dunno where shwas born but she says in her song " came from Bahrain "and i heard from the bahrain skool that she actually went there when she was a teen , why would i lie im not even from that country u slut
Well, Now you know that She was born In barranquilla COLOMBIA, it is just a song, ok? you don't have to take all seriously. and I am not a slut, please respect me. thanks.

hate it... spanish version is 100times better, this one sucks... music stilll good , the same, but lyrics, story, they way they put it together completelly sucks :( :(.
I dont remember seeing anyone here speaking SPANISH.Many people like it and study as hobby. Spanish is important in USA and American Continent but NOT here,believe me: English and French are universal but is GERMAN very strong here
I speak Spanish(NOT my language) but
I NEVER saw in EVENTS,SHOWS...spoken.I have to update and you have to TRAVEL a LOT
SORRY friends. Only two songs I dont like in Spanish:eyes like yours and wherever whenever. I think the reason is kos I listened both in English and now it sounds bit strange but her old songs are pretty much in Spanish...lol!
I respect what you said Dude! but their is one thing, in Europe their is a variety of languages, but Spanish is even spoken in Germany, England, Russia, and China. So do yourself a favorite, !UPDATE YOURSELF! so you are not that ignorant, and I tell you why? Spanish, beside Spain, is spoken in 18 contries and four Islands. So, Where Are You From? Kasarkistan?, yeah, keep hiden in a bonker like Hitler and Bush.
I like the spanish version also better, but I can't sing along with that... It's just too fast! (well, I can't sing anyhow, but that's not the point ^^)
Yeah but what does the Arabic translate to?
