Shakira – Acróstico lyrics
Me enseñaste que el amor no es una estafa
Y que cuando es real no se acaba
Intenté que no me veas llorar
Que no veas mi fragilidad
Pero las cosas no son siempre como las soñamos
A veces corremos pero no llegamos
Nunca dudes que aquí voy a estar
Háblame, que te voy a escuchar, uh
Y aunque la vida me tratara así
Voy a ser fuerte solo para ti
Lo único que quiero es tu felicidad y еstar contigo
Una sonrisa tuya es mi debilidad
Querеrte sirve de anestesia al dolor
Hace que me sienta mejor
Para lo que necesites estoy
Viniste a completar lo que soy
Se nos rompió solo un plato, no toda la vajilla
Y aunque no sé poner la otra mejilla
Aprender a perdonar es de sabios
Que solo te salga amor de esos labios
Si las cosas se dañan no se botan, se reparan
Los problemas se afrontan y se encaran
Hay que reírse de la vida
A pesar de que duelan las heridas
Se ha de entregar entero el corazón
Aunque le hagan daño sin razón
Lo único que quiero es tu felicidad y estar contigo
Una sonrisa tuya es mi debilidad
Quererte sirve de anestesia al dolor
Hace que me sienta mejor
Para lo que necesites estoy
Shakira – English translation Acróstico lyrics
VERSE 1
You taught me that love is not a scam, and that when it’s real it doesn’t end
I tried to stop you from seeing me cry, I didn’t want you to see my fragility
But things are not always as we dream
Sometimes we run, but we don’t know where we’re going
Never doubt that I will be here
Talk to me and I’ll listen to you
PRE-CHORUS
And even though life treated me like this
I will be strong just for you
CHORUS
All I want is your happiness
And to be with you
Your smile is my weakness
Loving you cures my pain
It makes me feel better
I’m here for whatever you need
You came to complete what I am
VERSE 2
Although I don’t know how to turn the other cheek
Learning to forgive is wise, only love comes out of those lips
If things are damaged, don’t throw them away, repair them
Face your problems head on
You have to laugh at life
Even though the wounds hurt
PRE-CHORUS
You have to give people your whole heart
Even if they hurt you for no reason
CHORUS
All I want is your happiness
And to be with you
Your smile is my weakness
Loving you cures my pain
It makes me feel better
I’m here for whatever you need
You came to complete what I am
OUTRO
You cure my pain
You make me feel better
I’m here for whatever you need
You came to complete what I am
Viniste a completar lo que soy
Sirve de anestesia al dolor
Hace que me sienta mejor
Para lo que necesites estoy
Viniste a completar lo que soy
