I dont know what it is about this song that works for me so wonderfully, but yeh

http://music.yahoo.com/ar-263793---Shakira = Video of the song.

I wish i could understand it. (and lyrics aside, i mean understand it as it was meant to be expressed from her)

Translation (from Spanish):

No, don't try to apologize
Don't play the game of persistence
Excuses existed before you did

No, don't look at me like you did before,
Don't talk in plural
Rhetoric is your most lethal weapon

I'm going to ask you not to come back ever again
I feel that you still can hurt me here,
Inside

And that at your age you already know well
What it's like to break someone's heart like this

No, one can't live with so much venom
The hope your love gives me
No one else gave me
I swear, I'm not lying

No, one can't die with so much venom
One shouldn't devote the soul
To collecting attempts
Rage weighs more than cement

I hope you don't expect me to wait for you,
After turning twenty six
Patience has sunk all the way down to my feet

So here, I pluck daisy petals
And I'm looking without seeing,
To find out if you'll get irritated and leave

I'm going to ask you not to come back ever again
I feel that you still can hurt me here,
Inside

And that at your age you already know well
What it's like to break someone's heart like this

No, one can't live with so much venom
The hope your love gave me
No one else gave me
I swear, I'm not lying

No, one can't die with so much venom
One shouldn't devote the soul
To collecting attempts
Rage weighs more than cement

As far as this goes, i'd say the song involves a bad relationship and breakup. And the opposite party is quite good at lying, etc.

I'm going to ask you not to come back ever again
I feel that you still can hurt me here,
Inside

And that at your age you already know well
What it's like to break someone's heart like this

No, one can't live with so much venom
The hope your love gives me
No one else gave me
I swear, I'm not lying

yep, still sounds like bittersweet ending of a relationship

No, one can't die with so much venom
One shouldn't devote the soul
To collecting attempts
Rage weighs more than cement

I hope you don't expect me to wait for you,
After turning twenty six
Patience has sunk all the way down to my feet

So here, I pluck daisy petals
And I'm looking without seeing,
To find out if you'll get irritated and leave

The relationship is straining on the main party and "it" needs to end blah blah blah. Probably describing her experiences since she recently married and started a family, i think...

Well, at least this latino pop queen has singing talent (and dancing talent ;)), unlike many of her american teen queen counterparts, although i cannot say this music does anything for me.

Id say it was about her Dad,

How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

The world may never know...

This song is pretty vague, perhaps Shakira does not divulge that information, and it is kind of impossible to know unless you get it from her directly.

Hmm...I'm gonna listen to that now....personally I love "La Tortura"...brb I'm gonna listen to it..

I thought Laundry Service was a great album but after hearing No, all I can say is, Wow!

Shakira can rock with the best of them and then she can turn around and tear your heart out with a song to which you don't even understand the words.

She combines pure sex with a waiflike quality that makes you want to ravish her and protect her at the same time.

Best learn Spanish soon, it will be the primary language of the US one day sadly...;)

And for cripes sake Reven....must you update your sig weekly with the most annoying song of the day?
