  • Yeah but what does the Arabic translate to?

  • luv this song!!!!!!! :)

  • at the first second she hear very bad :SS i like more the spanish version :)

  • The spanish version is far better

  • Rabboussamai "Rab Al-Sama'a" = God of the sky

    fikarrajaii "Fika Rajai" = I have a hope in you

    fi ainaiha = In her eyes

    aralhayati "Ara Al-Hayat" = I see the life

    ati ilaika "Ati ilayk" = I came to you

    min haza lkaaouni "Min hatha Al-Koun" = from this universe

    arjouka "Arjouk" = please

    labbi labbi nidai = answer answer my calling

    So here it is:

    God of the sky, I have a hope in you, in her eyes I see the life, I came to you from this universe, so please answer, answer my calling...

  • I'd love to be Arabic women with Latinas body,dancing like Jamaican gyal and having African boyfriend while living in Sweden.<3

  • She said Bahrain because she was in Bahrain as a teenager she went to the bahrain school one of my cousins went to school with her !

  • fuck i love the bit where it talks in arabic or w/e

  • firs song that i ever heard :D!

  • @matijator1 how's that? really, the first song?

  • 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.

  • sometimes, I'm proud to be Arabic :D

  • @hqinawi I'm half arabic but I consider myself full arab lol

  • When they sound like they're saying 'Yah Heh, Yah Heh' that actually means 'Your Eyes'

  • @Nouarara That Does not mean 'Your Eyes'

  • @Alphonse95Britannia Correction: The Eyes, sorry, LOL

  • @Alphonse95Britannia Still doesn't mean that ... it does't mean anything

  • I thought that is a wild cat:))

  • I love this song!!!

  • not one of her best songs, she has much better English songs, her spanish songs are even better.

  • why did she mention bahrain and lebanon? is this song for an arab guy?

  • @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

  • @SaudiArabianKnight To be exact it begins from Oman...the most east of all arabian countries.

  • I prefer the spanish version ... but it isn't so bad ;)

  • I love love LOVE the arabic part<3

  • 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

  • @ali1995716 i always wonder, why Bahrain and Lebanon !

  • @MrPablovilma ¡ARRUINES ! I guess you ruined spanish, clean up your grammar :]

  • Ojos asi is better then this!

  • Alot of Lebanese live in Columbia, so it's typical to see mixed with Lebanese there. That being said I love that song and shakira is sexy!!

  • The English version sounds wierd.

  • @Tracibop7 yea she doesnt have much accent.

  • AariCynward i definately agree

  • those debating about what shakira is, she is columbian, lebanese, and part itialian ok, so your all right and all wrong lol. end debate

  • she was in bahrain school i saw the yearbook pics

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck me i've not heard this song in about 8-9 years lol

  • I really prefer the spanish version. In this one ,you don't hear very well the strength of Shakira's voice...

  • @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?

  • @Laurifreak90 part, not half, she's also part italian and spanish. Mostly she is Colombian, also because that's where she grew up.

  • damn shakira, its in english and i still didnt understand a thing u said LOL

  • she must've added words to equlize the amount of sylables as the spanish version so iy could fit so well.

  • went belly dancing when i heard this song hahaha!

  • @tifa66626 its hard not to!:))

  • Best shakira song, but is definitely better in spanish.

  • @waterdragon208 wasn't it spanish/arabic....?

    She was lebanese too...right?

  • @ywerzt Yeah, it was spanish/arabic, but mostly spanish. I'm not sure if she was Lebanese or not.

  • @waterdragon208 kk  thnx.

  • @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.

  • @Kayla3775 actually her father is full lebanes her mother is half spanish and half italian

  • I like the spanish version better

  • oh my god. She can't sing! I love her  anyway-

  • I love this song but it sounds better in spanish :D

  • i prefer the spanish version :)

  • spanish version is much better i luv itt

  • This was the song that made me really enjoy her lyrics above all other things.

  • 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....

  • Omg i used to love this song when i was a kid. Just the arabic style to it and lyrics :D

  • actually this song is from the album before this in spanish

    BEAUTUIFUL

  • 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.

  • @MobHeataEnt i agree but the song she did with Beyonce was Beautiful Liar and it was actually a good song.

  • i love this song of shakira in spanish and in english so cool :)

  • OMG, i don't like it, it's better to much the spanish version,

  • I so agree with you. It is better in spanish.

  • I remember my dad was playing this song in the car.

    I was like 8? XD

  • @Azulinah so was I

  • Her voice isn't as full in this version, she cuts herself short a little bit and the notes are a little sharp or something.

    The spanish one flows a lot better.

  • the spanish one is a lot better

  • Esta cancion es mejor en español, en ingles la daño completamente!!!!!!! Aun asi Laundry service es cool, pero esta cancion simplemente no!!

  • como dije aruita es mejor en espanol pero muy bueno en ingles

  • This song is best in spanish version

    almost evryday,so I DONT hate Spanish...lol!LUIS MIGUEL (Mexican singer) sings only in Spanish and I like him.

    hay tantas personas que no saben bien lo que dicen...lol!

  • RYAN my friend. I said sorry for my words.

    I live in HOLLAND and I lived in ENGLAND

    4many years and I travel Europe...A LOT.

    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!

  • The spanish version has better lyrics.

  • Comment removed

  • @TarikMaurits yea but alot of english speakers like listening to the spanish too, its a beautiful language, why do you think she is international?

  • 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.

  • @7nenita7caca Sure, sounds ugly!

  • I agree
