Pies Descalzos...Donde Estas... Estoy Aqui...(repeat 8x)

Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Why de sueños blancos.
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres.
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando.

Tu mordiste la manzana
Why renunciaste al paraíso
Why condenaste a una serpiente
Siendo tu el que así lo quiso.
Por milenios why milenios
Permaneciste desnudo
Why te enfrentaste a dinosaurios
Bajo un techo why sin escudo.
Why ahora estás aquí,
Queriendo ser feliz.
Cuando no te importó
Un pepino tu destino!

Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Why de sueños blancos.
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando

Donde Estas Corazon?
No, no, no, no, no, no...

donde estas corazon?
Ayer te busque.

donde estas corazon?
Why no te encontre.

donde estas corazon?
Ayer te busque.
Entre el suelo, why el cielo, mi cielo
Why no te encontre
Why puedo pensar que huyes de mi
Porque mi silencio una corazonada
Me dice que si
Donde estas corazon?
Ven regresa por mi
Que la vida se me vuelve en ocho
Si no estas aqui
Why quiero pensar
Que no tardaras
Porque en el planeta no existe
Mas nadie a quien pueda yo amar

donde estas corazon?
Ayer te busque
Donde estas corazon?
Why no te encontre

Estoy Aqui...
Lo que ser no ver...
Buscando te...

ya se que no vendras
Todo lo que fue
El tiempo lo dejo atras
Se que no regresaras
Lo que nos paso
No repetira jamas
Mil años no me alcanzaran
Para borrarte why olvidar
Why ahora estoy aqui
Quierendo convertir
Los campos why en ciudad
Mezclando cielo con el mar
Se que te deje escapar
Se que te perdi
Nada podra ser igual
Mil años pueden alcanzar,
Para que pueda perdonar

estoy aqui quierendote,
Ahogandome
Entre fotos why cuandernos
Entre cosas why recuerdos
Que no puedo comprender
Estoy enloqueciendome
Cambiandome un pie por la
Cara mia
Esta noche por el dia

Estoy enloqueciendote...





Estoy Aqui...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines, "Pies Descalzos, Donde Estas, Estoy Aqui" translate to "Barefoot, where are you, I'm here." The lyrics describe someone who belongs to an ancient race who were barefoot and had white dreams. They were dust and will become dust; they believed that iron is always soft when heated. The person being referenced bit the apple and renounced paradise, blaming a serpent when it was them who desired it. They lived like this for thousands of years, naked and vulnerable, facing danger without any protection. Now, they want to be happy, but they didn't care about their fate. The chorus then follows with the repeated question that is asked multiple times throughout the song, "Where are you, my heart? I looked for you yesterday between the ground and the sky, my sky, but I didn't find you." The person is afraid that the heart is running away from them because their silence tells them so. The song concludes with the singer expressing their love and longing for the person, hoping that they'll return and that they could forgive them for letting them go.

[Verse 1: Shakira]
Who would've thought that you could hurt me?
The way you've done it
So deliberate, so determined
And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close

[Chorus: Shakira]
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know, you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal
To deceive a woman's heart

[Verse 2: Shakira]
I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
Been wondering for days and hours
It's clear, it isn't here where you belong

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

[Chorus: Shakira]
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal
To deceive a woman's heart

[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]

[Chorus: Shakira]
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal
To deceive a woman's heart

[Outro: Shakira]
Open heart, open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart, open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

It’s a masterpiece and the video is so powerful. It’s a shame not many people know this song.

@maferomero3009

Es un crimen que está canción sea tan poco valorada. Es bellísima!

@victorialynch6119

Deberia ser ilegal bo escucharla...

@bayrongiovannyguzmanmellad3980

Lo que pasa es que esta cancion fue totalmente opacada por otro sencillo de este album esa cancion fue hips don't lie

@maosdvsf96

@@bayrongiovannyguzmanmellad3980 Realmente fue porque no se promocionó, en parte seguro por el éxito de Hips dont lie, pero estoy seguro que sí Shaki la hubiera lanzado para el mercado anglo y la hubiera promocionado, hubiera sido todo un éxito.

@dannodm2267
