Shakira - La Tortura Live In Athens,Greece @ O.A.K.A. Arena during the "Oral Fixation Tour"_07/20/06

Lyrics Translation as found on www.songmeanings.net :

"The Torture"


Hey baby girl
Save your poetry
Keep your poems and cheer to yourself

I'm not asking that every day be sunny
I'm not asking that there be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness
If you're crying with dry eyes
Speaking about her

Oh, my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh, my love, losing you was torture

I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye

I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can't ask an elm tree to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls before swine

Oh, my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh, my love, losing you has been torture

I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye

Listen, baby, don't you go
Listen, baby, don't get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you'll be better off
Listen, baby, don't punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace

I'm just a repentant man
I'm the bird that returns to it's nest

I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone

Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Oh, after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it's like this
Keep on crying sorry
I...
I'm not going
To cry over you
