I Dare You
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my lips for when you want to kiss
I give you my insanity
And the few neurons I have left
My faded shoes
The diary in which I write
I even give you my sighs
Because you are my sun
The faith with which I live
The power of my voice
My feet that I walk with
You are, my love
My desire to laugh
I will not know how to say goodbye
Because I will never be able to live without you
If one day you were to decide
To leave again from here
I'd close every door
So that you could never leave
I give you my silence
I give you my nose
I give to you even my bones
So that you stay here
Because you are my sun
The faith by which I live
The power of my voice
My feet with which I walk
You are, love
My desire to laugh
I will not know how to say goodbye
Because I never will be able to live without you

recuerden…
#Shakira es una artista desde la era de los cassettes, vendió millones de discos y aquí sigue dándolo todo en la era del streaming.
Shakira está vigente desde los años 90 ya le compitió a artistas grandes en sus tiempos como Fey, Alejandra Guzmán, Paulina Rubio y Thalía.
La rompió en los 2000 y 2010 de la mano de artistas internacionales como Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Britney, Pink, Beyoncé y más tarde Lady Gaga, Rihanna o Katy Perry.
Hoy en día la siguen comparando con las nuevas generaciones, como con Camila Cabello, Karol G o Dua Lipa.
Ella ya hizo de todo y aunque lleguen nuevas figuras femeninas, no hay que olvidar que Shakira sólo hay una y siempre ha estado presente. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eterna Reina Latina. Nación Shakira.

I dare you!
All of my life, too late
To you showed out with perfect timing
Now, here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It's just a mature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dance floor
La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dance floor
La la la la la oh, oh, oh, oh

Of all the millions, on the planet
You're the one is keeping me on it
You know I like you, and nobody's business
And your are my witness
It's just a mature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dance floor
La la la la la
