La Turtura REMIX
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
(Ay dame dame damelo)
No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que te fueras sin decir a dónde
Ay amor, fue una tortura perderte
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
No solo de pan vive el hombre
Why no de excusas vivo yo
Sólo de errores se aprende
Why hoy sé que es tuyo mi corazón
Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Why nos decimos adiós
No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Why andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas
Ay amor me duele tanto me duele tanto
Que no creas más en mis promesas
Ay amor es una tortura perderte
Yo sé que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
No sólo de pan vive el hombre
Why no de excusas vivo yo
Sólo de errores se aprende
why hoy sé que es tuyo mi corazón
Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Why nos decimos adiós
(Ay dame dame damelo)
No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo sólo soy un hombre arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Why es que no estoy hecho de cartón
No sólo de pan vive el hombre
Why no de excusas vivo yo
Sólo de errores se aprende
Why hoy sé que es tuyo mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por tí
Fue una tortura perderte
Why me duele tanto que sea así
Sigue llorando perdón
Yo, yo, no voy a llorar hoy por tí
In Shakira's song La Tortura REMIX, the singer expresses the pain she feels at the loss of a lover who left without saying where he was going. She pleads with him to keep his poetry and joy to himself, as she does not want those things anymore. Shakira acknowledges that life is not always sunny and filled with parties, but she doesn't want her lover to come back just asking forgiveness if he is not truly sorry. The singer knows she has made mistakes but also believes she can make things right if given the chance. She ends urging him to move on from her and find happiness elsewhere.
Overall, the song speaks to the pain of love lost and the importance of owning one's mistakes. The singer acknowledges the hurt she has caused but also knows that she is not the only one at fault. She is open to the possibility of reconciliation but is also aware that sometimes moving on is the best option.

This is a translation of the song
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Hey baby girl
Save your poetry
Keep your poems and cheer to yourself
SHAKIRA:
I'm not asking that every day be sunny
I'm not asking that there be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness
If you're crying with dry eyes,
Speaking about her
Oh my love, it hurts so much
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
It hurts so much
SHAKIRA:
That you left without saying where
Oh my love, it was a torture losing you
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you
SHAKIRA:
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
SHAKIRA:
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can't ask an elm tree to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls before swine
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
SHAKIRA:
Oh my love,
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
it's a torture
SHAKIRA:
losing you
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
SHAKIRA:
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
SHAKIRA:
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
Listen, baby, don't you go
Listen, baby, don't get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you'll be better off
Listen baby, don't punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace
I'm just a repentant man
I'm the bird that returns to its nest
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
SHAKIRA:
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
ALEJANDRO SANZ:
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
SHAKIRA:
Oh after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
It hurts me so much that it's like this
Keep on crying sorry but
I…
I'm not going
To cry over you
:)
