Ciega sordomuda
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y la metodología
Cada vez que se aparece frente
A mí tu anatomía
Porque este amor ya no entiende
De consejos, ni razones
Se alimenta de pretextos
Este amor no me permite
Estar en pie
Porque ya hasta me ha quebrado
Los talones
Aunque me levante volveré a caer
Si te acercas nada es útil
Para esta inútil
Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte
Cuántas veces he intentado
Enterrarte en mi memoria
Y aunque diga ya no más
Es otra vez la misma historia
Porque este amor siempre sabe
Hacerme respirar profundo
Ya me trae por la izquierda
Y de pelea con el mundo
Si pudiera exorcizarme de tu voz
Si pudiera escaparme de tu nombre
Si pudiera arrancarme el corazón
Y esconderme para no sentirme
Nuevamente
Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte
Ojerosa, flaca, fea desgreñada
Torpe, tonta, lenta, necia, desquiciada
Completamente descontrolada
Tú te das cuenta y no me dices nada
Ves que se me ha vuelto
La cabeza un nido
Donde solamente tú tienes asilo
Y no me escuchas lo que te digo
Mira bien lo que vas a hacer conmigo
Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte
Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte
Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no sé cómo olvidarte

Argument and methodology
fail me
Each time your anatomy
appears before meBecause this love no longer understands
advice or reason
It feeds on pretext
and lacks nerve (literally, pants/trousers)
This love does not permit me
to remain standing
Because it finally even has broken
my talons
Even if I arise, I'll fall again
If you draw near nothing is useful
to this uselessbrutish, blind, deaf-mute,
clumsy, lost, stubborn
this is all that I have been
because of you I've turned into
a thing that does
no other thing but love you
I think on you day and night
and I know not how to forget youHow many times I've tried
to bury you in my memory
And although I say, enough, no more
Again it's the same story
Because this love always knows
how to make me breathe deeply
It's pulls me to the left
and at odds with the worldIf only I could exorcise your voice
If only I could escape your name
If only I could yank out my heart
and hide away so as not to feel myself,
once again, abrutish, blind, deaf-mute,
clumsy, lost, stubborn
this is all that I have been
because of you I've turned into
a thing that does
no other thing but love you
I think on you day and night
and I know not how to forget youhaggard, skinny, ugly, disheveled,
clumsy, foolish, slow, stiff-necked, berserk
completely out of control
You realize it yet you say nothing to me
You see how my
head has become a nest
where only you have refuge
and you don't listen to what I tell you
Look well what you are going to make of mebrutish, blind, deaf-mute,
clumsy, lost, stubborn
this is all that I have been
because of you I've turned into
a thing that does
no other thing but love you
I think on you day and night
and I know not how to forget you
