Esta noche voy contigo
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaa
Hoy me siento entre nubes, creo que voy a estallar
Y me enredo con las horas, ya no se si llegaras
Al volver la vista te haces acercas ya.
Mi cuerpo se estremece al verte caminar
Mi corazon se agita, vuelvo a renacer.
Coro:
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar,
El momento es nuestro y no termina
Esta noche voy contigo a sonar,
Que la vida es ritmo, es alegria
Esta noche voy contigo a bailar,
El estar contigo me hace libre
Esta noche voy contigo a sonar,
Que el amor es nuestro y no termina.
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na naaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaa
De regreso, voy contenta, tengo ganas de gritar
Si tu quieres, debo verte, no mas me dices y ya
Y comenzo en la oscuridad
La energia en nuestro cuerpo no parara
Este es el ritmo, el que me hace vibrar
Y aunque quisiera detenerme no puedo
parar.

It was nice delving deep into Shakira's past. Don't regret hearing her first 2 albums.

Dejaré mi comentario para la posteridad. Crecí escuchando sus canciones en la radio (finales de los 90, principios de los 2000), viéndola en la televisión, publicidad...etc, pero nunca me di cuenta hasta hace poco (Shakira cannes) de la gran artista, mujer bella e inteligente (y me estoy quedando corto) que es. Hay canciones que no son de mi agrado pero sin embargo tengo mucha curiosidad saber sobre su trayectoria musical y ver su evolución a través del tiempo. Gracias a esta plataforma puedo ver su primeras canciones...

"CHAQUIRA" ni siquiera escribieron correctamente su nombre original. Hoy en día es todo un suceso escuchar estas canciones y admirar su capacidad para crear letras y compaces. Sencillamente admirable.

En las escenas con la estatua, hubiera quedado perfecto que dos bailarines la hubieran acompañado....
Hay algo mágico en ver estos primeros videos de Shakira, ver la determinación que tenía de cantar y entrar al mundo del espectáculo y no desistir... También debió de haber influido el apoyo de sus papás, quiero creer.
