hey baby girl
save your poetry
keep your poems and cheer to yourself
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 forgivness
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 havent been a saint
but i can make it up to you
man doesnt 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 lets say goodbye
i cant ask winter to save a rosebush
i cant ask an elm tree to bear pears
i cant ask the eternal of a mere mortal
and go about casting a thousand 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
know i havent been a saint
but i can make it up to you
man doesnt 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 lets say goodbye
listen baby, dont you go
listen baby, dont get angry
from monday to friday you have my love
give saturday to me and you'll be better off
listen baby dont 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 havent been a saint
i'm not made of stone
man doesnt live on bread alone
nor do i live on excueses
we only learn from our mistakes
and today i know my heart is yours
oh after all i've done for you
it was such a torture to lose you
it hurts me so that its like this
keep on crying sorry
i...
i'm not going
to cry over you

The song is saying that the man was having an affair with another woman. The famous line "fue una tortura, perderte" means "it was torture to lose you"
Throughout the song, the man (Alejandro Sanz) is begging Shakira for forgiveness, and at the end of the song Shakira says "Sigue llorando perdón / Yo ya no voy a llorar... por tí" which means roughly "keep crying for forgiveness, but I will no longer cry for you"

That track nonetheless made me think of of a track that Lupe Fiasco made, that's additionally committed to a undeniable subject remember: Ebonics vs Coulda been Ebonics replaced right into a super fulfillment for him,and this track presented him to an astounding sort of folk.Lupe wasn't observed till he regarded on "touch the sky" with Kanye west...The wordplay in ebonics is extra useful too...super L wins this one Lupe Fiasco makes a cd packed with memories. They paint photos in my techniques for me. super L made in line with probability 2 or 3 songs like that yet introduced the lyrics to them little doubt: its no longer mandatory to have a cd packed with memories,is it? super L has an identical type for the era of all his paintings!!! He says an identical element repeatedly. ("Harlem" "F*ck Ho*s" "139") and etc.He spits an identical subjects over distinctive beats: yet rap isn't approximately characters,each rapper has his very own type in rapping. He has no classic album to me : sorry yet i evaluate lifestylez ov da adverse & risky between the astounding 5 albums of all time. outdoors OF YOU ALL, I even have in no way heard everyone say, "super L is super." i think of he gets plenty compliment through fact of you be attentive to what (I dont even would desire to declare it): not sure what your sayin,cuz he's lifeless? properly u dont be attentive to if he would've been extra valuable if he did no longer die.

It says that the man has another woman. And the "other woman" tells him to decide which woman he wants and that what he did was wrong.

She is basically talking about love torture. Not in a nasty way, but wanting something, and not getting it right away.
