Paging Dr. Bender
Paging Dr. Bender please
We gonna get up outta here now
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Stop dat bitch
Stop
Damn right across – damn look at her ass too
Oh forget it, come on come on
We gotta go
Follow me round the corner come on
Go go go go go go
When I get the mellows I'm gonna get me a fifty
Shh! Don't sing now man, come on we gotta go
Fuck that shit
You ain't got none a my shit
Alright she gone she gone
Go go go go go go go go go go
Bya bya bya bya bya bya bya
Hey run run run run run run run
We free we free we free we free we free we free we free
Give me a fifty! A free fifty! Hell to da world
The opening track of Shakira’s album “Dónde Están Los Ladrones?”, “Intro”, is a spoken-word piece that sets the scene for the rest of the album. The song begins with a voice calling out for “Dr. Bender” to come to a particular location. It is likely that Dr. Bender is a code name for someone, and the purpose of the meeting is unclear. The singer then encourages those listening to come along, and we hear what sounds like a group of people following the singer as they leave.
The lyrics then become more scattered and harder to decipher, with phrases like “stop dat bitch” and “damn look at her ass too” being thrown in amongst the chaos. It seems that the group is on the move, trying to escape something, and the singer is trying to keep them all together. They encourage everyone to follow them around the corner and then tell them to “go go go”. This sense of urgency and fear builds throughout the song until it reaches its final, triumphant line: “We free we free we free we free we free we free we free”.
The purpose of “Intro” is mainly to set the tone for the album and to create a sense of tension and release. It introduces us to the idea that there are people on the move, trying to escape something, and that they are working together to achieve their goal. The use of the word “free” at the end is particularly powerful, as it suggests that whatever or whoever they were trying to escape from, they have succeeded in doing so.

Böyle ölürüm sana olan aşkıma, bulutların güneş ışığında eriyip yok olması gibi.
Maceramızın sonu ne oldu, dinle: Bulutlar gibi geldik ve rüzgarlar gibi geçip gittik.
Yağmura dökülmüş bulut gibiyim. Ne ağlayabildim ne gülebildim. Şu koca dünyada benim bildiğim. Ne yaşaya bildim ne ölebildim.
Ben senin hayatında gökyüzündeki bulutlar olmayacağım. Çünkü onlar bir gelir bir gider. Ben gökyüzü olacağım hep orada duracağım.
İnsan nasıl ki hüzün yumağı gibi sıkıştığı zaman gözlerinde yaşlar boşalıyor, bulut da su damlacıklarıyla dolduğu zaman yağmur olup yağıyor.
Başa gelen sıkıntılar üzüntüler belalar ve musibetler bir bulut gibidir sabır (ümit) rüzgarı esince o bulut kaybolur gider. Love Mengen altın karanlıkların adamın lordun oğlu İmparator Cemal Good morning How are you Dünya Alanya Love
