[Sanz] Oh baby girl, I kept my poetry
Kept my happiness just for you
[Shakira] I didn't ask for every day to be sunny
I didn't ask for a party every friday
Nor did I ask you to return requesting forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes
and talk of her
Oh love, it hurts me so much
[Sanz] It hurts me so much
[Shakira] That you left without saying where you were going
Oh love, it was a torture...
To lose you
[Sanz] I know that I haven't been a saint
But I can fix this, love
[Shakira] Man does not live on bread alone
And I don't live on excuses
[Sanz] Only by making mistakes do we learn
And I know today my heart is yours
[Shakira] It is better that you keep all of that
To another dog with that bone
And we tell each other goodbye
I can't ask that the winter pardon to a rose bush
I can't ask that the elm trees bear pears
I can't ask for eternity from a simple mortal
And walk around throwing thousands of pearls to swine
[Sanz] Oh love, it hurts me so, it hurts me so
That you don't believe in my promises anymore
[Shakira] Oh love
[Sanz] It is a torture
[Shakira] To lose you
[Sanz] I know that I haven't been a saint
But I can fix this, love
[Shakira] Man does not live on bread alone
And I don't live on excuses
[Sanz] It is only by our mistakes that we learn
And I know today my heart is yours
[Shakira] It is better that you keep all of that
To a different dog with your bone
And we tell each other goodbye
[Sanz] Don't get off, don't get off
Hey baby, look, don't give in
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Leave me Saturday, to me that is best
Hey baby don't punish me anymore
Because outside without you I have no peace
I am only a very repentent man
I am like the bird that returns to his nest
I know that I haven't been a saint
But I can fix this my love
[Shakira] Man does not live on bread alone
And I don't live on excuses
[Sanz] Only by our mistakes do we learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
[Shakira] Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh all that I have done for you
It was a torture to lose you
It hurts me so that I am thus
Continue to cry for forgiveness
I, I am not going to cry for you

THE TORTURE (English Translation)
Ay my gypsy
Save the poetry
Save the happiness for you
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
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was torture
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
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
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love, losing you has been torture
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
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
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save it for someone foolish enough to believe you and say Goodbye
AD LIBS
Oh after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it's like this
Keep on crying sorry
I…
I'm not going
To cry over you
