Blind Deaf and Dumb
letra/lyrics:Shakira Mebarak
he finishes the arguement with me,
and the methodology,
each time that he appears in front,
of me your anatomy,
because this love he doesn't get,
from the hints, nor the reasons,
he feed from textbooks,
and missing his pants,
this love he doesn't allow me,
to be on foot,
because even he has broken,
my heels,
although he raised ne i'll go back down,
if you approach me nothing's useful,
for the useless thing,
CHORUS
brutal, blind, deaf and dumb
clumsy, odd, stubborn,
it's all what i've seen,
i've converted just for you,
one thing that he doesn't do,
another thing more than i don't love you,
i think of you day and night,
and i don't know how to forget you,
how many times have i tried,
to burn you in my memory,
and although i say no more,
it's again the same story,
because this love always knows how to,
make me breath deep,
he brings me to left,
and fights with the world
if he would exorcise from your voice,
if he would excape me from your name,
if he would tear from your heart,
CHORUS
rings under the eyes, skinny, ugly, tousled,
clumsy, foolish, slow, touchy, confused,
completey out of control,
give up your account, and you told me nothing,
you see that i've returned,
the head to the nest,
where only you have a shelter,
you don't listen to me what i said to you,
look good what you're going to do with me
CHORUS
Blind Deaf and Dumb
letra/lyrics:Shakira Mebarak
My bickering cuts itself short
along with my methodology...
everytime that your anotomy appears
in front of me
Because this love doesn't understand anymore,
of advice or reason
it feeds on pretenses
and seems to always 'lose it's pants'
This love just doesn't let me
stand on my own two feet
because it's even broken my heels.
If I get up, I just fall again.
If you near me nothing's useful
for this useless being.
Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.
How many times have I attempted
to burry you in my memory
and even if I say ' no more'
it's always the same old story.
Beacause this love always knows
how to keep me taking deep breaths.
It takes me left
and in altercation with the world
If I could excorcise myself from your voice
If I could escape your name
If I could rip out my heart
and hide, to not feel myself
renewed.
Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.
Worn out, scrawny, ugly, dissheveled,
Airheaded, silly, idiotic, naggy, unkempt
completely uncontrollable.
You notice and don't say a word.
You've seen how my head has gotten jumbled
and only there you have claimed sanctuary
And you don't listen to what I say
Take a good note of what you're going to do with me
Airheaded, Blindly-muted, deaf,
klutzy, stuttering object.
It's all I've ever been
Because of you I've become
in something that does nothing
but love you.
I think of you night and day.
Not knowing how to forget you.

Translated by Gerardo Anaya
(Choir)
Stupid, blind, deaf and mute
clumsily disheveled brute
That's all I've ever been
I can't survive without you,
Cause I just don't know how to let go,
and all I do is love you
(Choir) (Para: Ojeroza, flaca, fea, desgreñada..........)
Naked, running through the streets looking for you,
desperately awaiting for the day when you'll be back.
I have no will...and no desire...
my life is without you has is so mellow,
Take a long and hard look into my soul,
cause I'm at a loss...and don't know where to go...
I know you could care less...if I'm a mess.....
but...I'm on my knees ...pleading for mercy...

If You Go
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
tell me what you'll do after seeing her body the first time,
when your mischievous curiosity dies,
when you memorize the parts of her body,
and decide again to comback,
i won't be here in the same place
if she doesn't have more than a pair of fingers in front,
and you discover she doesn't brush her teeth well,
if she takes the little cents you have,
and later she leaves you alone like she wants,
i know you'll comback the day,
in which she tore you to pieces,
without pillows to cry on,
but if you have decided,
and you don't want me anymore,
nothing now doesn't matter,
because without you,
the world wouldn't be the same to me
CHORUS
if you go, if you go, if you leave,
my sky becomes gray,
if you go, if you go, and you don't,
have to come for me,
if you go, if you go, and change me,
for that witch, piece of trash,
don't comback anymore,
since i won't be here
all new brooms always sweep well,
later you're going to see the bristles be gone,
when her wrinkles fold her skin,
and her cellulite covers her legs
you'll comeback from your hell,
with a tail between you horns,
imploring one more time,
but for that, then,
i'll be here a million nights,
far from this enormous city,
far from you,
the world wouldn't be the same to me
CHORUS
If You Go
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
Explain to me after you've had enought of her body
When your child-like curiosity comes to an end
When you know all of her flaws by heart
and you decide to return
...I won't be in the same place twice.
If she has no more than two fingers' width of forehead
and you find out that she can't even brush he teeth
When she takes every last cent of yours
and leaves you just how she wants you
...I know that you'll come back the day...
in which she rips you to shreds...
..without even a pillow to cry on.
But if you've made your descision
and want nothing to do with me
nothing matters
Because without you
The world just doesn't matter
If you go, if you go, If you march out of here
My sky will turn to grey
If you go, If you go, You won't have to...
come back for my sake
If you go, If you go, and you exchange me...
For that witch, pretty peice of flesh
Don't ever come back
I won't be here
Every new broom sweeps well
Later you'll see the bristles won't even last
when wrinkles cut her skin
and cellulite invades her legs...
...You'll come back from your hell
with your tail between your horns
imploring me just one last time...
But until then
I'll be a million nights...
far from this enormous city
far from you
The world doesn't matter anymore
If you go, if you go, If you march out of here
My sky will turn to grey
If you go, If you go, You won't have to...
come back for my sake
If you go, If you go, and you exchange me...
For that witch, pretty peice of flesh
Don't ever come back
I won't be here
Flies in the House
letra/lyris: Shakira Mebarak
my days without you are so dark,
so long, so gray,
my days without you are so absurd,
so bitter, so tough,
my days without you,
my days without you don't have nights,
if someone appears,
it's useless to sleep,
my days without you are an excess,
the hours don't have a beginning, or end
so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house
my days without you are like a sky,
without silvery moons,
nor traces of the sun,
my days without you are only an echo,
that always repeats,
the same song
so short of air,
so filled with nothing,
useless junk,
trash on the floor,
flies in the house
stumble on the rocks,
still i keep waiting that you'll return to me,
still i keep looking in the faces of the old,
bits of a child,
hunting reasons that make me believe,
that still i meet with life,
biting my fingernails,
drowing in my tears,
missing you so much,
my days without,
oh how they hurt, my days without you
I Don't Believe
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
you only know well of who i am
and for that my heart is yours
you only bend my right
and for that to where you want i go
i don't believe that someday the sea
will lose it's salty flavor
i still don't believe in me
i don't believe in the chance
i only believe in your blue smile
en your crystal look
the kisses that you give me
and all that you say
you only know well of who i am
and for that my heart is yours
you only bend my right
and for that to where you want i go
if you talk too much
don't set aside
that nobody will love you like that
as for me
i don't believe in Venus nor Mars
i don't believe in Carl Marx
i don't believe in Jean-Paul Sartre
i don't believe in Brian Weiss
i only believe in your blue smile
en your crystal look
the kisses that you give me
and all that you say
you only know well of who i am
and for that my heart is yours
you only bend my right
and for that to where you want i go
if you talk too much
don't set aside
that nobody will love you like that
as for me
oh i want to be your firmament
in your mouth of a song
in your wings always being in the wind
your clod of salt
a sunbeam
that to where you say that
you want me to go
i go that you are my slip my happy country
my spring
my stairway to the sky if
for that i continue to walk here and i walk
withyou
to you she never could tell you not to
you only know well of who i am
and for that my heart is yours
you only bend my right
and for that to where you want i go
your clod of salt
a sunbeam
that to where you say that
you want me to go
i go that you are my slip my happy country
my spring
my stairway to the sky if
for that i continue to walk here and i walk
withyou
to you she never could tell you not to
if you talk too much
don't set aside
that nobody will love you like that
as for me
I Don't Believe
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
Chorus:
Only you know well who I am
and for that my heart is yours
Only you "double my right"
and for that I will go where you want
I don't believe that the sea will someday lose the taste of salt,
I still don't believe in me,
I don't believe in chance
I only believe in your blue smile
In your look of crystal
In the kisses that you give me
And in all that you say
Chorus
If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.
I don't believe in Venus nor in Mars
I don't believe in Karl Marx
I don't believe in Jean-Paul Sartre
I don't believe in Brian Weiss
I only believe in your blue smile
In your look of crystal
The kisses that you give me
And they say what they say
Chorus
If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.
Oh I want to be your sky
Of your mouth, a song
Of your wings, always to be in the wind
Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes to where you say you want it to go
That you are my slip, my happy country
My spring
My stairway to heaven
If I continue to walk here and I walk with you
No one will be able to tell you not to
Chorus
Your pinch of salt
A ray of sun
That goes where you want me to
That you are my slip, my happy country
My spring
My stairway to heaven
If I continue to walk here and I walk with you
No one will be able to tell you not to
If I say too much
Don't set to the side
That nobody will love you more than I do.
Inevitable or Unavoidable
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
if it is a question to admit
i don't know how to prepare coffee
and i don't understand soccer
i think that one time i was unfaithful
i play bad until ¿parqués?
and i never use a watch
and to be frankly nobody
i think of you as i made myself
although she gives you the same
if it is a question to admit
i never sleep before 10
never take a bath on sundays
the truth is that i also
cry once a month
mainly when it's cold
for me nothing's easy
you should know to know
me well
and without you everything is so boring
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
i don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable or unavoidable
i always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
to begin for the same
you'll already know the situation
here everything is worse
but at least i'm breathing
you don't have to say it
you're not going to come back
i know you well
i will already look for what makes me
the sky is tired of seeing
rain fall
and each day that passes by
seems like yesterday
i don't find something
forgetting because
loving you is inevitable or unavoidable
i always knew it was better
when it's necessary to speak of two
to begin for the same
Inevitable
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
I guess it's time to confess,
I don't know how to make coffee,
and I just don't get football.
I must have been unfaithful once,
I cannot even win at dice,
and I never wear a watch.
And to be quite honest,
no one thinks of you
quite the way I do.
It all the same to you now.
I guess it's time to confess,
...never sleep before ten
...never take a bath on Sundays.
Since I am telling you so much,
I cry in earnest once a month
when the weather turns to freezing
Nothing's really easy,
when it boils down to me,
you should know that well...
I've grown so weary and tired of
seeing the rain fall,
Cause everyday that goes by,
is just like yesterday,
I just can't seem to get you out of my head
because loving you is....just....inevitable....
I guess it's always really best,
when it's time to confess,
to be the first one revealing.
You'll find out anyways,
So, I'll tell you..."my world's gone awry"
but at least I'm still breathing.
You don't have to say it,
I know you won't be back....
I know you so well....
I've grown so weary and tired of
seeing the rain fall,
cause everyday that goes by,
is just like yesterday.
I just can't seem to get you out of my head
Cause loving you is....just...inevitable....
I guess it's always really best,
when it's time to confess,
to be the first one revealing.
Eighth Day
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
the eighth God points out so much work
to free tensions already revising
he said everything's fine and it's and hour of resting
and he left for a walk in given space
who will imagine that the same God upon returning
will find everthing out of order
and that one more will be unemployed
at that rate annually growing without stopping
for that then who has seen him
alone in the streets and traffic
he's waiting for somebody patient
one who's calm
and can converse
while so much of this world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess records
i'm not the idiot's class
that allowes you to convince, but i say the truth
and until a blind man can see it
if a lack of occupation
or excessive solitude
God didn't resist more
and left to another place
ti would be our perdition
there would not be another remedy more
to adore Michael Jackson
Bill Clinton or Tarzan
it's more difficult to be a king without a crown
who is a more normal person
poor God doesn't leave in the magazines
that it's not a model nor an artist or a real family
while so much of this world rotates and rotates
without being able to stop
and here below some manage us as chess records
i'm not the idiot's class
that allowes you to convince, but i say the truth
and until a blind man can see it
Eighth Day
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
On the eighth day, God (after so much work,
To relieve tensions, having already checked things out)
Decided that everything's fine, it's time to rest
And went for a walk in outer space
Who would've thought that that same God, upon returning,
Would find it all in chaotic ruin
And would become one more of the unemployed
Of that number that is growing year after year without stopping
Since then, there are those who have seen Him
Alone in the streets, travelling,
Walking, Waiting patiently for someone
Who isn't so calm
He can talk to
While so much of this world spins and spins
Without being able to stop
And here below, a few people control the lives of all the rest
Like pieces on a chessboard
I'm not one of the idiots
That's controlled
But I speak the truth
And I will, until a blind man can see it for himself
If He didn't have a job
Or excessive solitude,
God wouldn't resist anymore
And he would go to another place.
It would be our eternal damnation
There would be no remedy, other
Than worshipping Michael Jackson,
Bill Clinton, or Tarzan
It's tougher to be a king without a crown
Than to be a normal person
Poor God doesn't leave word in magazines
That he's not a model or an artist, or from a real family

To Return
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
and what am i going to do with my selective lack of care
and what with my frustrated dream of learning to cook
and what i'm going to do with sundays
and holidays, no plan is appropriate
when i try not to think
perhaps it will tell me where you go
now that i'm not
tell me where to go
now that you aren't
what will i invent to tell the entire world
if they see me fallen to the ground
without more desire to fly
how do i hide this pair of broken wings
and the soles of my boots
tired of walking
perhaps it will tell me where you go
now that i'm not
tell me where to go
now that you aren't
chorus:
i want you to return
that you are claiming
my lips you haven't kissed in a long time
i want you to come back
already you see that even my hands
from not touching you so much, they ache, they ache
and what am i going to do if my chin hits the floor
and although i tried my smile doesn't leave naturally
if they have already seen with the lost glance
a few pounds less
and some tears of more
perhaps it will tell me where you go
now that i'm not
tell me where to go
now that you aren't
chorus:
i want you to return
that you are claiming
my lips you haven't kissed in a long time
i want you to come back
if you knew that you were for me
and always wanted to be here
i still don't understand how, when, where
or why i lost you, i don't know how to live like this
You
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
i give you my waist
and my lips for when you want to kiss
i give you my madness
and the few neurons that already remain
my faded shoes
the newspaper that i write
until i give all my sighs
but don't leave anymore
because you are my sun
the faith that i live with
the power of my voice
the feet that i walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that i won't know how to say
because i won't be able to live without you
if one day you decide
to leave again from here
i would close each door
so that you can't ever leave
i give you my silences
i give you nose
until i give you my bones
but stay here
because you are my sun
the faith that i live with
the power of my voice
the feet that i walk with
you are my love
my desires of laughing
the goodbye that i won't know how to say
because i won't be able to live without you
Where are the Thieves?
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
WHERE ARE THE THIEVES?
they've seen them around here
they've seen them on the rooves
giving back in Paris
convicting in the courts
with the powdered nose
in a tie or in blue jeans
they've seen them everywhere
without anything else to say
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if i am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
they've seen them on their knees
sitting or squating
stopped giving lessons
in all the positions
preaching in the churches
until offering concerts
they've seen them in all the bars
distributing ministeries
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if i am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
Shadow of You
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak
i'm going to leave
that my guitar says all what i
don't know how to say for me
or maybe it should wait
to the insult of the clock
i have just planned my end
the smiles hurt so much
it costs the world to breathe
it's that not having you here makes me bad
it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotating around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today i am
thinking of you
you should know
that there are pieces of your mouth unintentionally
wanted around here
and that i trip everyday without thinking
with an old memory more
and some new gray history
if i can't be with you
i can no long be with you
every time it becomes harder to be happy
it follows me around
the shadow of you
they keep rotatins around there
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today i am
thinking of you
all the words that we said
and the kisses we didn't give
as always
today i am
thinking of you
Eyes Like You
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak R.
yesterday i knew a sky without sun
and a man without ground
a priest in prison
and a sad song without an owner
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and i knew your black eyes
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and now yes that
i can't live without them i
asked to the heavens only one wish
that in your eyes i can live
i've traveled the entire world
and a thing i'm coming to say to you
i traveled from Bahrein until Beirut
i went from the north until the south pole
and i didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
rabboussamai fikarrajaii
fi ainaiha aralhayati
ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
arjouka labbi labbi nidai
i went from the north until the south pole
and i didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
yesterday i saw a passing woman
underneath her camel
a salt river, a boat
abandoned in the desert
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and i saw your black eyes
ya he, ya he, ya la he
and now yes that
i can't live without them i
asked to the heavens only one wish
that in your eyes i can live
i've traveled the entire world
and a thing i'm coming to say to you
i traveled from Bahrein until Beirut
i went from the north until the south pole
and i didn't finds eyes like those
like the ones you have
